Enriching a catalog
Enriching a catalog in Semantico follows four steps: create, generate, review, and publish. This guide covers each one, including how to work in bulk.
1. Create products
Section titled “1. Create products”A product in Semantico starts from a reference — enough information for the AI to identify the real-world product and find authoritative sources for it. You can provide any of:
- A name (e.g. “Acme stainless steel water bottle 750ml”).
- An identifier: EAN / barcode, SKU, MPN, or ASIN.
- A source URL pointing at a product page to crawl.
There are three ways to add products:
- One at a time — click Add product and fill in what you know.
- CSV import — upload a spreadsheet to create many products at once. Each row becomes a product; the import runs in the background and reports any per-row errors.
- Store import — pull products directly from a connected store.
Products can also have variants (for example, the same item in different sizes or colors). A product with variants becomes a product model.
2. Generate
Section titled “2. Generate”Generation is where the AI does its work. Select one or more products and choose which actions to run:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Generates a clean, optimized product title. |
| Categorize | Assigns the product to a category in your tree. |
| Find images | Discovers and attaches relevant product images. |
| Custom section | Fills a specific custom attribute you’ve defined. |
| Translate | Translates generated content into your other locales. |
You can run a single action, a combination, or a full generation that produces everything at once.
Two options control how generation treats existing content:
- Override (default on) — overwrite content that already exists. Turn it off to only fill in empty fields.
- Full generation — run the complete enrichment pipeline rather than isolated actions.
Generation always runs in the background. Products that already have a running job are skipped rather than queued twice, and progress is shown per product.
3. Review
Section titled “3. Review”When a job finishes, review the generated content on each product page:
- Read the description and name; edit anything you’d like to adjust.
- Check the assigned category and attributes.
- Confirm the attached images are the right ones.
- Switch locales to review translations.
Everything the AI produces is editable — Semantico gives you a strong first draft, and you stay in control of the final copy.
4. Publish
Section titled “4. Publish”Once you’re happy with a product, push it to your connected store: select the products and sync to store. Semantico writes the mapped fields (name, description, images, attributes, and more) to the platform, respecting the field mapping you’ve configured.
Working in bulk
Section titled “Working in bulk”Every step scales to your whole catalog:
- Filter the catalog by brand, category, tags, whether images exist, generation status, and attribute values, then act on the selection.
- Generate in bulk across the filtered set.
- Sync in bulk to your store.
For very large or automated workflows, the API exposes the same create, generate, and sync operations so you can drive them from your own systems.
