Useful AI Configuration Examples

Summary

To help you get the most value from AI Configurations in the PIM, we strongly recommend following the guides below:

 

Overview

To help you get started quickly, Akeneo provides several ready-made examples of AI Configurations.

These templates illustrate how different use cases can be implemented, from generating SEO content and auditing data quality to maintaining tone consistency across languages or interpreting visual assets.

Each example below includes:

  • A short description of the use case
  • The key configuration fields
  • A sample instruction prompt
  • The type of output you can expect

You can copy these examples directly into your AI Configurations page and adapt them to your own attributes, languages, and products.

Example 1: SEO Metadata Generation

Use Case

Automatically create short, optimized SEO meta descriptions based on product attributes such as name, features, and target audience. This is one of the most common enrichment use cases for AI configurations.

Configuration Details

Field Example Value
Label SEO Meta Generator
Code seo_meta_generator
Target Attribute seo_metadescription

Example Prompt

Role:
Act as an expert SEO copywriter for e-commerce product pages, ensuring factual accuracy and compliance with provided data.

Context:
You will receive product information with the following sources: Product_Type, name, brand, short_description, and supplier. Use only the information provided. Do not invent or infer features. Avoid superlatives or claims unless explicitly supported.

Task:
Write a short, benefit-oriented meta description that naturally integrates relevant keywords derived from the provided data.

Requirements:
- Primary keywords: product type and product name; include brand if present and space allows.
- If key features are sparse or missing, focus on clear core benefits from the short_description and the product type/name.
- If keyword inclusion conflicts with the 155-character limit, prioritise clarity and core benefits first, then primary keywords.

Format:
- Output one single sentence only
- No headings, no bullet points, no quotes, no emojis
- Must end with a clear call to action

Tone:
Use a concise, persuasive, brand-neutral voice that is trustworthy and benefit-led.

Sunglasses for everyday wear that shield your eyes and elevate your look with simple style - discover the right pair for you today.
