Key AI capabilities of Pimcore Copilot

Have you ever wondered how AI can streamline your product data processes? Here’s what Pimcore Copilot can do for your business:

1. AI-powered content generation

Think about how long it takes to prepare product descriptions for all the items you sell. Pimcore Copilot can take over this task. Copilot leverages large language models to generate product descriptions, marketing copy, or SEO-ready text and metadata directly within the platform.

Example: Got over 1,000 product descriptions to write? No problem. Just give it the basics (like product name and main features), and it delivers ready-to-use content without the usual time investment. The content is clear, quick, and consistent, giving your listings a professional and polished appearance.

2. Automatic data organization

A good product page needs relevant images, accurate details and specs to stand out. Pimcore Copilot helps by using AI to connect images or videos to products and update their metadata. It’s a reliable tool for saving time and effort.

Example: With the Copilot extension, the system can:

• Automatically sort and assign the right images or videos to the right products based on shared tags.
• Clean up duplicate entries.
• Spot errors and fix them (like missing descriptions or wrong prices).
• Keep everything neat and organized, ensuring all information is where it should be.

3. Handling product variants

If you sell the same product that comes in different colors, sizes, or styles, Copilot simplifies creating and managing those variations of products or other data objects. It ensures every version of your product is accurate and ready for sale, and you don’t have to do repetitive work.

Example: Selling a T-shirt in 10 colors and 5 sizes? Thanks to Pimcore Copilot, you can:

• Duplicate the main product info.
• Adjust details (like color or size).
• Keep everything linked so it’s easy to update later.

4. Contextual actions

Copilot’s actions are context-sensitive, meaning it understands what you’re working on at any moment and adapts. Pimcore Copilot doesn’t just follow instructions – it learns from your data.

It offers suggestions based on your current activity within the Pimcore platform.

Example: If you're managing product information, it might propose standardizing descriptions or pairing related assets. It could also spot recurring tags you use and apply them automatically next time.

With Pimcore Copilot, you can keep track of large-scale updates as they happen. You can pause, cancel, or replay tasks if something goes sideways. It’s like having a "redo" button for your entire workflow.

Why it matters: You stay in control, even when handling big, complex data processes. Let’s say you’re updating hundreds of products for a new season. Pimcore Copilot gives you a clear view of your project’s progress in real-time (which tasks are complete and what still needs work), without getting bogged down in the details.
