šŸ¤– How to Write Effective AI Prompt for Enrichment

The AI Prompt Settings field defines how Trustana’s AI should interpret and enrich a product attribute.

Why It Matters

AI Prompt Settings is the core driver of high-quality product data enrichment. It tells the AI exactly what you want extracted, how to format it, and what rules to follow. Without it, the results will often be incomplete, inconsistent, or irrelevant.

If left blank or vague, the AI won’t know:

  • What data to look for

  • How to format the response

  • Whether a value is optional or mandatory

This leads to subpar results and more manual cleanup.

What is the AI Prompt Setting?

It’s a short, clear instruction you write to guide the AI for each product attribute. Think of it as a mini-script: it should explain exactly what to extract, what to avoid, and how the output should look.

šŸ“Œ Example of a Good Prompt:

Write a detailed, engaging, and professional product description for an eCommerce website using the product's title, features, and technical information provided.

- Use natural language in paragraph form (no bullet points).

- Highlight key features, materials, use-cases, and any performance advantages.

- Maintain a neutral, informative, and trustworthy tone.

- Avoid promotional phrases like ā€œbestā€, ā€œamazingā€, ā€œmust-haveā€.

- Do not repeat the product title at the start.

- Keep the length between 60–120 words.

- If details are missing, focus on what’s available; do not invent.

Output: One well-structured paragraph written for retail shoppers.

Best Practices for Writing the AI Prompt for Product Description

When writing the AI prompt to generate a high-quality product description, follow these guidelines to ensure accurate, eCommerce-ready output:

1. Be Specific
Don’t say: ā€œWrite product copy.ā€
Do say: ā€œWrite a detailed paragraph describing the product’s features, materials, and use-cases in a professional, informative tone. No bullets.ā€

2. Set Format Rules
Clearly define output structure:
One paragraph
No bullet points
Neutral, professional tone
60–120 words
Avoid phrases like ā€œbestā€ or ā€œmust-haveā€
Do not start with the product title

3. Use Examples
Always include example input and output to guide the AI (and other users):

Example Input:

  • Product: Cordless Drill 18V

  • Features: LED light, 2-speed gearbox

  • Material: ABS plastic

Expected Output:

This cordless drill offers reliable performance for a range of DIY and professional tasks. It features an 18V battery and a 2-speed gearbox, providing flexibility for various materials. An integrated LED light improves visibility in dark areas, and its ABS plastic body ensures durability with lightweight handling.

Define Fallback Logic
Guide the AI when data is missing:
ā€œIf material or features are missing, describe based on what is available.ā€
ā€œDo not invent features or technical claims.ā€
ā€œIf insufficient data, generate a general-purpose description using tone and category.ā€

Following this format ensures the AI generates content that’s accurate, readable, and conversion-friendly for eCommerce.
