Smart PIM is an AI assistant embedded in the Back Office product creation and editing pages. It helps catalog managers enrich product data through AI-powered capabilities — all without leaving the product form.

Example use case

A catalog manager is adding a new product and needs to write a compelling description, fill in image alt text, and assign the right categories. Instead of doing each task manually, the manager opens the Smart PIM panel and uses the built-in AI tools to generate and refine the content in seconds.
