How to create and use AI generated text

Create, preview, and approve AI-generated product texts using your Gemini or OpenAI connection.

Who can use this feature

You need the Core Pro plan in your Channable subscription to use this feature.

Before you start

You'll need

Note: You can use a trial Gemini connection to test AI Text Generation if you don't have a Gemini or OpenAI connection yet. A test connection is limited to one generator per project, and you can only generate up to 10 texts.

Good to know

  • Read AI generation usage and costs to understand token usage, pricing, and data handling.

  • Already have one or more AI text generators set up? If a generator later in the list uses the same save fields for the same items, it will override the generators that run before it. You can drag and drop to reorder the list.


1

Create your generator

  1. Go to [your company] > [your project] > Generate with AI.

  2. Click Generate with AI.

  3. In the pop-up, select Text.

  4. At Text, select the content you want to create. The text type defines the prompt template used in the Prompting step. You can choose from these types:

    • Titles: Generate AI text suggestions to improve product titles.

    • Descriptions: Generate AI text suggestions to improve product descriptions.

    • Free text: Generate AI text suggestions for specific text fields.

    • Question & answer: Create short, bulleted selling points that focus on key benefits and features.

    • Product detail: Create technical specifications and structured key-value attributes, grouped by section.

    • Product highlight: Create frequently asked questions and answers from merchant or customer input.

  5. Click Continue.

Configure your generator settings

  1. At Settings, fill in these details:

    1. At Name, add a descriptive name so it's easier to distinguish this generator from others later.

    2. At AI connection, you have two options:

      1. If this is your first generator and you don't have a Gemini or OpenAI connection yet, you can continue with a trial (Trial > Connect).

      2. If you have a Gemini or OpenAI account, click either option > Connect.

        1. For Connection type, select your Gemini/OpenAI connection or create a new one.

        2. Click Connect with Google Gemini/Connect with OpenAI.

    3. At Project fields used to generate attributes, select the text fields that should be used to generate the new texts. Scraping websites or extracting full content directly from URLs is not currently available. Reading images is also not available currently.

    4. At Field to save the optimized text, select the project field where you want to save the generated text. We recommend creating a new field to avoid overwriting your existing title and description data.

    5. At Output language, select the language if you want your texts to be translated to. If you leave this at Do not translate, the generator will reference the language in the text fields or a prompt when generating.

Note: Choosing Do not translate increases the chance of generating inaccurate information. We recommend selecting an output language for more precise control over your generated texts.

  1. Click Save.

Select and filter items

  1. In the Item filtering step, set up a filter to select which items to generate text for.

    1. To generate text for all items, leave the filter as If all .

    2. To generate text for specific items, set up the condition part of a rule to filter them out. (For example, If title contains t-shirt .)

  2. Click Save. Once finished filtering, click Selected items (%) to see which items your prompt in the following step will apply to.

  3. Click Save & continue.

4

Apply a prompt

  1. At Prompt, write your custom prompt in the text field or adjust the template based on your goals or requirements.

Example

You could change the maximum number of characters based on your channel limitations, or describe the style of the text you want to have.

  1. Click Generate 5 previews. A preview of the items will appear in the 5 previews section.

  1. Review the previews and adjust your prompt until you're happy with the results. Once you're satisfied, click Generate all to apply the same logic across the items selected in the Filter items step.

Note: Generating previews and regenerating values still contributes to token usage.

5

Review values (approve & regenerate)

  1. To review one generated text at a time select either Approve or Regenerate. You can also edit each text manually if needed.

  2. To regenerate all generated texts at once, click Regenerate all. Already approved texts won’t be regenerated.

  3. To approve all texts at once, click Approve all.

  4. To unapprove all texts at once, click Unapprove all.

The chosen field for the optimized text now contains the approved values and can be sent to any channel. For example, via Rules or Mapping steps for Google Merchant Center or Amazon.

After generating the texts and before using generated texts in your channels, make sure that there are no empty fields. This could cause errors in the product list with generated values but this could also be due to an issue with Gemini/OpenAI.
