# AI Product Description

> Generate a product description using AI based on product details

<Note>
  **V2 Preview** — This endpoint is part of the V2 API preview. Breaking changes may occur.
</Note>

## Overview

Generate an HTML product description using AI. Provide the product title and optional context (product type, tags, features, image context) to get a ready-to-use description. The merchant can also configure a custom prompt that shapes the AI output to match their brand voice.

Usage is subject to the shop's AI allowance limit. If the limit is reached, you will receive a 429 response.

### Use Cases

* Auto-generate descriptions for new products instead of writing from scratch
* Improve or rewrite existing descriptions with richer detail
* Create consistent, on-brand copy across your catalog

### Required Scope

`products:write`

## Request Body

<ParamField body="title" type="string" required>
  The product title. This is the primary input the AI uses to generate the description.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="productType" type="string">
  The product type or category (e.g. "T-Shirts", "Electronics"). Helps the AI tailor the description.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="tags" type="string[]">
  An array of product tags (e.g. `["organic", "cotton", "summer"]`). Provides additional context for the AI.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="features" type="string[]">
  An array of key product features (e.g. `["100% organic cotton", "Pre-shrunk", "Machine washable"]`). These are highlighted in the generated description.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="imageContext" type="string">
  A text description of the product's main image. Useful when the AI cannot see the image directly.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="merchantCustomPrompt" type="string">
  A custom instruction from the merchant that shapes the AI output (e.g. "Write in a casual, friendly tone" or "Always mention our 30-day return policy"). This is configured at the shop level and passed through automatically by the portal.
</ParamField>
