## New AI Feed Setup

### What's new?

We’ve introduced AI feed setup to reduce the time it takes to go live! By toggling on the AI setup during the channel creation process, Channable automatically handles the steps of field mapping, data transformation, and value extraction (for Google Shopping and Meta Online Products feeds).

#### AI feed setup includes:

* **Automated field mapping:** AI attempts to map all internal Channable fields to Google and Meta's specific fields.
* **Rule creation:** AI creates rules to fix common listing errors:
  * Stripping HTML and links from titles and descriptions.
  * Trimming white spaces and enforcing character limits.
  * Formatting units (e.g., converting "kilograms" to "kg") and fixing separators for colors/materials.
* **Value transformation:** Automatically converts "availability," "condition," "gender," and "age group" values into the supported values required by the channel.
* **Review AI Solutions:** Review a list of suggested AI-generated fixes and apply them all at once to solve data quality issues instantly.

While AI automates the majority of the setup, some manual fixes may still be required in the **Quality** step to ensure an error-free listing.

## Optimize: New AI text generation

### What’s new?

We have introduced **AI text generation** in the **Optimize** tab, allowing you to create high-performing product titles, descriptions and other texts in bulk using AI.

#### AI text generation includes:

* **Bulk content enhancement:** Automatically enhance fields like 'title' and 'description' by pulling data from other attributes such as category, brand, color, or size.
* **Customizable prompting:** Write your own custom prompts to control the tone, style, and character limits of your generated text.
* **Product filtering:** Select specific product groups to optimize, ensuring your AI prompts are highly relevant and cost-effective.
* **Review & approval workflow:** Generate 5 item previews to iterate on your prompts. Once generated, you can approve/regenerate individual texts.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This feature uses your Gemini tokens. We recommend monitoring usage and refining your item filters to manage costs effectively.
{% endhint %}

## Kaufland legacy API & feed no longer supported

#### What’s changed?

* Channable no longer supports setting up a legacy Kaufland feed or **Kaufland API V1**.
* Updates from these legacy setups may stop syncing to Kaufland. This can lead to downtime or lost sales.
* We can’t provide technical or troubleshooting support for these versions.

#### Who is affected

* **Affected:** Users with an active **Kaufland API V1** and/or legacy **Kaufland feed**.
* **Not affected:** Users with inactive Kaufland feeds and APIs.

#### What you need to do (affected users only)

To save you time, we’ve migrated any existing legacy Kaufland API channels to the latest version:

* **V1 channels (offer-only):** We've copied over your offer data from your previous channel, including stock and price. Please review it to ensure everything is working correctly.
* **V1 channels (offer + product):** Offer mappings are pre-filled. If you want to manage product content (titles, images, attributes) and offers in one setup, update product-related attributes in the **Build** step of your new Kaufland V2 channel.

For more information, follow the steps in our [Kaufland V2 migration guide](/list-advertise/sell-on-marketplaces/kaufland/how-to-set-up-a-kaufland-channel-api-v2.md).

If you used a legacy Kaufland feed, please [create a new Kaufland channel](/list-advertise/sell-on-marketplaces/kaufland/how-to-set-up-a-kaufland-channel-api-v2.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The latest version of Kaufland accepts slightly different values for some fields. After switching, you may see new issues in the **Quality** step.
{% endhint %}

## bol to begin removing products with missing information

{% hint style="warning" %}
From April 1, 2026, [bol will start to remove products](https://developers.bol.com/en/news/manufacturer-data-and-responsible-economic-operator-mandatory-soon/) if the 'manufacturer information' and/or 'Economic operator' information is missing.
{% endhint %}

Under the new European Union General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) and Digital Services Act (DSA), it is mandatory for products to have the following information attached:

* Manufacturer information
* Economic operator information

While the new GPSR/DSA rules have been in effect for a while, [bol will start enforcing them](https://developers.bol.com/en/news/manufacturer-data-and-responsible-economic-operator-mandatory-soon/) now.

This means that live products with missing information will start to be removed. Missing information will also prevent new listings from going live.

### What you need to do

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Check your existing bol listings

See if you have added the manufacturer information and the economic operator information.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add missing information

If the information is missing, add it by following [these steps](/list-advertise/bol/list-items-on-bol/how-to-set-up-a-bol-channel.md#h_01jhta95mcdpxzxevepnpvr8cj), and/or by making a new field and using Channable's rules to apply and map the correct information.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Remember to add the information to any new listings

This will ensure your new assortments can go live.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% endupdate %}
