FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my inventory levels in MarketMan?

    No. The AI can only read your waste events, count sheets, and inventory lists. You must make all manual adjustments in MarketMan yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my spoilage records?

    No. The AI has read-only access to your data. It cannot delete or modify any records in your account.

  • 03

    Can I use this to predict future waste?

    Yes. Once the AI has access to your historical waste events and inventory counts, you can ask it to identify trends and suggest where you might see future issues.

  • 04

    How often does the AI see my new waste entries?

    The AI sees whatever data is available in MarketMan at the moment you ask the question. It pulls fresh data through the tools every time you run a prompt.

  • 05

    Can the AI place new orders to replace wasted stock?

    No. The AI can identify what needs to be ordered based on waste, but it does not have the capability to create orders or interact with your purchasing tools.
