Connect Klevu to your AI client to verify that your smart merchandising logic is surfacing the right products to the right customers.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI check if my Klevu merchandising rules are working?

Yes. Your AI uses Klevu's search and category tools to simulate customer queries and confirm that specific products or category paths appear as intended. You'll see exactly how your smart logic affects product visibility.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI categorizes its findings based on what it finds in your Klevu store.

VALIDATION

Confirmed logic

The AI confirms that products are appearing in the correct categories or search results. You get a clear report of successful rule matches.

DISCREPANCY

Rule mismatches

The AI identifies when a product should be visible based on your rules but isn't showing up. This highlights gaps in your merchandising setup.

PATHING

Broken category flows

The AI checks if specific category paths lead to the expected product sets. This catches issues with how customers navigate your site.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI flags logic errors that require you to go into the Klevu dashboard to rewrite rules. It won't change your settings for you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit request arrives.

Your AI acts as a virtual shopper to test your store's live logic.

  1. Simulate searches

    The AI runs specific search queries to see which products the smart engine prioritizes.

    search_product_id

  2. Verify category flows

    It checks the contents of specific category pages to ensure the merchandising rules are applied.

    search_category

  3. Test filtered views

    The AI applies specific filters to see if the resulting product list matches your intended merchandising strategy.

    search_filtered

  4. Compare results

    The AI compares the live output against your expected product list to find any missing items.

  • Check if [Product Name] appears at the top of search results for '[Search Term]'.

  • Verify that the [Category Name] category contains all products assigned to it by my merchandising rules.

  • Run a search for '[Search Term]' with the [Filter Name] filter applied and tell me if the products match my logic.

  • Audit the [Category Name] path to see if any products are missing from the expected results.

FAQ

How the audit behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my merchandising rules?

    No. The AI can only read and verify your current setup. You must make all changes manually in Klevu.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my real-time store data?

    Yes. It uses the tools to pull live search and category data from your store to ensure the audit is accurate.

  • 03

    Can the AI fix a broken category path?

    No. It can identify that a path is broken or incorrect, but it cannot rewrite the logic for you.

  • 04

    How does it know if a product is 'correctly' displayed?

    It compares the live results from your store against the specific criteria or product lists you provide in your prompt.

  • 05

    Can I audit my store without connecting Klevu to Vinkius?

    No. The AI needs the Klevu MCP connection to access your store's search and category data.
