AI in Monokaido
Everything the AI does in the system, what it costs, and where a person has the last word.
AI in Monokaido is not a separate feature you go and "run". It is an assistant built into the places that otherwise take a great deal of manual work — and the same rule holds everywhere: the AI proposes, a person confirms.
Where the AI works
| Feature | What it does | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Description generation | Writes a product description from the name, parameters, brand and category. | Product detail, and bulk actions in the product list. |
| Parameter extraction | Pulls parameter values out of photos, the name and the description. | Filling in values. |
| Parameter name mapping | Proposes which feed field is which parameter. | Parameter mappings. |
| Value mapping | Proposes which spellings of a value mean the same thing. | Value mappings. |
| Category mapping | Proposes where a vendor's category belongs in your tree. | Category mappings. |
| Feed analysis | Reads an unfamiliar feed and proposes the whole mapping. | Adding a vendor via AI analysis. |
| Translation | Translates names, descriptions and parameter values. | Parameter translations, Languages. |
| Image work | Background removal, lifestyle scenes, ALT text. | Photo studio. |
Three things worth knowing
The AI never publishes anything by itself
The output is always a proposal. Either you confirm it, or it lands in Changes to review, where it can be reverted.
Every call is recorded
What was asked, what came back, what it cost. → AI logs
The tone is configurable
So descriptions read like you and not like a generic shop. → Brand voice
What it costs
Either you pay an AI provider directly with your own API key, or you use Monokaido AI — the platform provider, which needs no key and draws on your package's monthly allowance.
The details, including why the monthly allowance is spent before purchased credit, are in AI settings.
