Agentic Ziggy: Turn AI Recommendations into Action

Type: New | Feature: Governance Productivity Collaboration Automation Scalability | Packaging: Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Ask Ziggy helps you find answers. Agentic Ziggy helps you get work done.

Agentic Ziggy transforms recommendations, signals, and user requests into structured operational work that your teams can review, coordinate, and execute—all from within Akeneo Product Cloud.

Whether it's identifying incomplete products, improving product descriptions, refining your data model, or acting on PX Insights recommendations, Ziggy Workspace centralizes AI-powered opportunities into a shared operational workspace where teams stay in control. Every recommendation can be reviewed, approved, assigned, and tracked, ensuring AI accelerates your operations without sacrificing governance.

Why it matters

Instead of simply telling you what needs attention, Agentic Ziggy helps your teams organize, prioritize, and execute the work required to continuously improve your product experiences.

Benefits

• Centralize AI recommendations and operational tasks in one place
• Accelerate enrichment and data quality improvements
• Coordinate work across business teams with full visibility
• Keep humans in control through governance, ownership, and approvals

How is this different from MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets you connect external AI assistants—such as ChatGPT or Claude—to Akeneo so they can securely access your product information and act on it.

Agentic Ziggy goes a step further. It is purpose-built for Product Cloud operations. Rather than simply answering questions, it understands Akeneo workflows, organizes AI-driven work into actionable tasks, tracks progress, and applies Akeneo's governance model so teams can confidently review and execute recommendations together.

Model Once. Showcase Every Variation. 

Type: Enhancement | Feature: Productivity | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Whether you're building complex product families in Akeneo PIM or presenting them in Digital Showroom, we've introduced several enhancements that make it easier to model, manage, and showcase product variants from end to end.

From more flexible variant modeling to richer browsing experiences, these updates help teams reduce setup effort while giving buyers a clearer way to explore product options.

⚙️ More Flexible Product Modeling in PIM

We've expanded the way you can structure product families and simplified the management of large variant catalogs.

✨ What's new?

• 🔢 Use text, number, multi-select, or reference entity multi-link attributes as variant axes, giving you greater flexibility when modeling products without creating unnecessary select attributes.
• ⚡ Bulk assign attributes to variant levels, making Family Variant configuration significantly faster for large catalogs.
• 📤 Export only the hierarchy levels you need, thanks to new filters for parent models and hierarchy levels across all product export profiles.

Spend less time configuring complex product models and more time managing your catalog. These improvements reduce manual work, simplify catalog initialization, and give you greater control over how product hierarchies are exported.

🛍️ Richer Variant Experiences in Digital Showroom

Digital Showroom now reflects your product catalog more faithfully by displaying product models and variants as they are organized in Akeneo. This provides internal teams, such as sales and customer support, with a clearer, more consistent browsing experience. 

✨ What's new?

• 🗂️ A new Product Model overview page lets teams browse all available variants with adaptive filters such as material, finish, or color.
• 🎛️ Choose between three variant selector layouts including dropdowns, buttons, or horizontal selectors to match your preferred shopping experience.
• 🏷️ Customize Product Model labels independently from variant labels to better reflect your merchandising strategy.

Make it easier for internal teams to navigate complex product catalogs and quickly identify the right product variation.

Small Enhancements. Big Impact.

Type: Enhancement | Feature: Productivity | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Sometimes, it's the smallest improvements that make the biggest difference. This month, we've introduced several targeted enhancements designed to remove friction, simplify administration, and help you scale your Product Cloud with greater confidence.

💎 Scale Reference Entities Even Further

Reference Entities can now support up to 10 million records, a tenfold increase from the previous limit (1M).

Whether you're managing large product catalogs, spare parts, regulatory information, or extensive product reference data, you can now model significantly larger datasets without hitting scalability limits.

Why it matters

• 📈 Support larger product ecosystems
• 💎 Model richer reference data at scale
• 🚀 Future-proof your Product Cloud as your business grows

📂 Simplify Category Management

Enriched Categories now support default values for:

• ✅ Boolean attributes
• 🔘 Simple select attributes
• ☑️ Multi-select attributes

This helps administrators standardize category enrichment while reducing repetitive configuration work.

Why it matters

• Faster category setup
• More consistent data
• Less manual configuration

🏷️ Manage Attribute Options in Bulk

Managing attribute options is now even easier with the addition of Merge, complementing the existing bulk Add, Delete, and Delete Orphans capabilities.

Whether you're cleaning up duplicate values or consolidating taxonomy changes, you can maintain a healthier catalog with far less manual effort.

Why it matters

• Simplify taxonomy maintenance
• Reduce duplicate options
• Improve catalog consistency

🔄 Track Product Changes More Intelligently

A new API update date allows you to identify products that have changed not only because the product itself was updated, but also because one of its linked Assets or Reference Entity records was modified.

This enhancement simplifies synchronization for applications and integrations that periodically query Akeneo for product updates, helping ensure that downstream systems stay aligned with the latest product information.

Why it matters

Previously, updates made to linked Assets or Reference Entity records weren't reflected in the product's update date, making it difficult for polling-based integrations to detect every meaningful change.

With this new API capability, you can more easily retrieve products impacted by linked entity updates—without having to build complex comparison logic.

Benefits

• 🔗 Simplify synchronization with downstream applications
• ⚡ Detect product changes more comprehensively
• 📦 Reduce custom integration logic for polling scenarios
