Final verification

The AI provides the text, but you decide if the slug accurately represents the product before you push the update to your live store.

The workflow

What your AI does when the product name arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of string manipulation so you don't have to write regex or manual edits.

  1. Analyze the title

    Your AI reads the raw product name from your spreadsheet or database to identify characters that shouldn't be in a URL.
