AI for product descriptions
We develop custom AI solutions that generate product descriptions in your tone of voice. Not a standard AI tool with generic output, but a system trained on your brand, product data and target audience.
Why custom development for product descriptions?
Standard AI tools such as ChatGPT generate generic text without knowledge of your brand, product features or target audience. The output sounds like AI and doesn't fit your webshop. Custom development means the AI learns your voice.
We don't sell a ready-made AI tool
Appfront builds custom solutions. We analyse your existing product descriptions, understand your tone of voice and target audience, and build an AI system that generates copy that sounds as though it was written by your own team. Fully integrated with your PIM or webshop.
When off-the-shelf AI falls short
- ! Generic output: the copy sounds like AI and lacks your brand identity
- ! No product knowledge: the AI doesn't know your specific product attributes
- ! Manual work: entering each prompt separately, copying, pasting and editing
- ! No integration: no integration with your PIM, webshop or product database
What custom development offers you
- + Your tone of voice: AI trained on your existing content and brand guidelines
- + Product knowledge: the AI knows your categories, specifications and USPs
- + Bulk generation: hundreds or thousands of descriptions in one go
- + Direct integration: integration with your PIM, CMS or e-commerce platform

Strong brand identity
A distinctive tone of voice that needs to be maintained across all product communication
Frequent updates
New products or seasonal collections released regularly that need to go online quickly
Multilingual needs
International operations with the aim of delivering high-quality content in several languages
Technical possibilities
Several technologies can be used for AI product descriptions, depending on your specific situation

Frequently Asked Questions
AI for product descriptions is software that automatically generates product descriptions based on product data such as specifications, features and categories. The AI writes unique, compelling copy that suits your brand and target audience.
Off-the-shelf AI tools generate generic text without knowledge of your brand, target audience or product features. Custom development means the AI is trained on your existing content, learns your tone of voice and integrates with your systems. Bulk generation and automated processing are also not possible with standard tools.
Yes, with a custom solution the AI is trained on your existing product descriptions and brand guidelines. As a result, the model learns to apply your specific tone of voice, word choice and structure in new copy. This does require a sufficient volume of example material.
For good tone of voice training, at least 50-100 high-quality sample descriptions are needed, ideally spread across different product categories. If fewer examples are available, we can work with brand guidelines and style guides as a supplement.
Yes, a custom solution can be integrated with your PIM system, webshop or CMS. Generated texts can be forwarded directly, optionally via a review step where your team can approve or adjust them.
