Short answer

Can I manage my Gelato orders through an AI agent?

Yes. You can trigger new print orders, check the status of existing ones, or stop a pending order using text commands. This setup gives you direct control over your print queue from your chat interface.

The outcomes

What you can do with your agent.

Your AI handles the heavy lifting in the Gelato dashboard.

NEW ORDER

Instant fulfillment

Tell your agent what to print. It sends the details to Gelato to start the production process immediately.

STATUS

Order tracking

Ask for a list of your current jobs. Your agent pulls the latest data so you know exactly what is being printed or shipped.

STOP

Order cancellation

If you made a mistake, tell your agent to stop a specific order. It will attempt to cancel the job in Gelato right away.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You still handle the creative design and product selection. The AI only manages the order execution once your files and details are ready.

The workflow

What your AI does when you send a command.

The agent translates your intent into specific API calls to Gelato.

  1. Identify intent

    Your agent parses your message to see if you want to add a new job, check a status, or kill an existing order.

    list_print_orders

  2. Fetch order data

    If you're checking on progress, the agent pulls your current queue to find the specific job you're asking about.

    list_print_orders

  3. Execute command

    The agent sends the instruction to Gelato to either start a new production run or halt a current one.

    create_print_ordercancel_print_order

  4. Confirm status

    The agent tells you once the action is finished or if the order was successfully stopped.

FAQ

How the Gelato Connector behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI design the products for me?

    No. The AI manages the orders, but you must provide the design files and product specifications yourself.

  • 02

    Can I change the shipping address after an order is created?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating new orders or canceling existing ones.

  • 03

    Will the AI delete my entire order history?

    No. The agent can list your orders, but it does not have a tool to delete your account or order history.

  • 04

    How do I know if a cancellation worked?

    The agent will confirm the result of the cancellation command after it communicates with Gelato.

  • 05

    Can I use this to update the quantity on an existing order?

    No. You would need to cancel the existing order and create a new one with the correct quantity.
