Text generation

Bizzkit PIM offers the functionality to generate texts for PIM attributes based on AI technology. Bizzkit AI Assistant (BAIA) is seamlessly integrated in the PIM UI to provide a smooth user experience when using the text generation functionality.

Feature overview

With this feature BAIA can be used to generate a text value for an attribute based on other attributes, such as global lists or images. Using the custom instructions, the feature can be configured to interpret product characteristics from other attributes such as a product image, which then can be captured in a textual description.

Highlights

• Text generation for supported types of PIM attribute fields
• Image based product descriptions
• Easy configuration of best practice products
• Custom instructions to specify text length, tone of voice, target audience, and more
• Generate texts for multiple products at the same time, using Mass Edit

Generating texts

Texts can be generated using BAIA for attribute fields that are configured to support this functionality. On the product details page, two action buttons appear below the text field, as shown in the following image:

The generate button generates a value based on any matching configurations. The custom generate button opens a dialog that shows a list of the matching configurations that can be toggled to apply or not when generating values from this dialog. There is also a text field for additional instructions that will be combined with any instructions from the selected configurations.

Multi-valued attributes

When generating values for a multi-valued attribute, the UI is slightly different. The generate and custom generate buttons appear both right below each field and again at the bottom. Using the generate or custom generate button right below a field generates a value for just that field. Using the buttons at the bottom generates for multiple fields. When generating values for multiple fields at the same time, a field might be removed in the case a value isn't generated for it.

Working with segmented attribute fields

The AI text generation function uses the preferred segmentation by default to provide input to the text generation engine about which segment on the attribute field to generate a text for.

However, when generating values for a segmented attribute field, the corresponding segmented attribute field values from the relevant attributes will be used as input. The translation culture of the active segment on the attribute field also determines the output language.

Example

Assume a preferred segmentation is selected that has English as translation culture. If the text generation button is clicked when a different segment is active on the attribute field, for example, Danish, the generated value will be in danish.

Configuring AI text generation

Before AI text generation is available on an attribute field, it has to be configured first.

Supported data types

The following text-based data types are supported for AI text generation:

• PString
• PTranslatedString
• PTranslatedStringD
• PChannelSpecificString (only for single-valued attributes)
• PChannelSpecificStringD (only for single-valued attributes)

Fields on single-valued or multi-valued attributes that use one of these data types can be configured to use AI text generation.
