May I use AI to do task in my behalf? I need it for the following case:
We have a web site with feeds for over 40 K product. We have 6 suppliers and we take the information for products quantity and price from these feeds and thanks to these feeds 40 products were uploaded and they continue to be uploaded when new products are available. The category to which all new products are directed is 1 and it is called “All”. In addition many products are uploaded without description because it is not added in the feed or for some other technical reason. So, we have 2 main challenges here:
- Change the category for each product to the right one;
- Add description if it is missing.
If these tasks need to be done manually, me and my partner need to spend a lot of time doing that over and over again…
Can we use Leo for that work, is it possible to go to each product and one be one to execute the required actions from above? If Leo is not possible to be used for that, how can we do it using Chat GPT?
I asked Chat GPT and here what was advised:
What You Want:
To automatically update 40,000 products — assigning the correct category and adding descriptions where missing, without manually clicking through each product.
Is It Possible? Yes — 100% possible.
There are two main ways to do this:
- Automation with WP All Import (No AI Required)
Fast, reliable, no coding needed.
How it works:
Export all products using [WP All Export].
Use Excel, Google Sheets, or simple PHP rules to:
Match product titles to proper categories (e.g., if title contains "iPhone", assign "Electronics > Phones").
Add short descriptions where missing.
Import back using WP All Import — all 40,000 products get updated at once.
Results:
No manual clicking.
You can re-run it as needed.
Good for users with no coding experience.
- Full AI Automation using OpenAI API (ChatGPT)
More intelligent and scalable, especially if you sell many product types.
How it works:
A script (can be scheduled to run automatically) goes through all products.
For each product:
Sends the title to OpenAI (e.g., “What category does this product belong to?”)
Gets back a suggested category.
Updates the product in WooCommerce via the REST API.
If description is missing, it generates one.
Results:
Accurate category assignments, even with vague product titles.
Human-like, SEO-friendly descriptions.
Perfect for large catalogs like yours (40k+ products).
Comparison:
Method Manual Clicking? Easy to Set Up? Requires AI Key? Accuracy
WP All Import
Medium (depends on keyword rules)
AI (OpenAI API) Medium (needs a script)
High (AI understands context)
Conclusion:
Yes — you can bulk update 40,000 products automatically
No need to manually click or edit them one by one
You can set it up once, or schedule it regularly
I can provide code or guide you through whichever method you choose
Will appreciate of someone can advise, thanks!
