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
A description generated for a single product is a proposal you confirm yourself. Translations, however, are written straight to the products, whether you translate one product or many, and so are the results of bulk description generation and parameter extraction. Parameters and translations then show up in Changes to review, but they can only be marked as reviewed there, not reverted. Bulk-generated descriptions do not reach that queue at all.
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.
