AI Product Description Generator for ManoMano | The Complete Guide
A step-by-step workflow for automating your ManoMano product content, from data export to final import.
The Content Scaling Challenge on ManoMano
The Manual Content Bottleneck: If you list products one by one in the ManoMano Seller Portal, you end up copying, pasting, and proofreading the same details for hours. Writing unique descriptions, feature bullets, and SEO fields for hundreds of drills, saws, and screws quickly eats up your day and leaves room for mistakes.
Why Poor Product Data Hurts Sales: Shoppers on ManoMano are often DIY enthusiasts or trade professionals. They search by exact voltage, blade size, or material compatibility. When your listings have thin or generic copy, they rank lower in search, look less trustworthy, and ultimately lose to competitors that provide rich, accurate specs.
Common AI Solutions for ManoMano (And Why They Don't Scale)
Method A: The Native Tool (Product Editor)
Convenient for one, impossible for one thousand.
The ManoMano Seller Portal lets you tweak titles and descriptions inside a single-product form. While that works for a quick adjustment, it is still a manual job. You can’t feed the editor a spreadsheet or generate content in bulk, so scaling up to a full catalog becomes a grind.
Method B: The Integrated Plugin
Better, but still traps your data and limits your workflow.
Many sellers turn to external copywriting tools like Jasper or connect a PIM such as Akeneo. These apps can speed up writing, yet they introduce new hurdles: subscription costs, extra setup, and another place where your data lives. Exporting cleanly back into ManoMano—or to Amazon, eBay, or your own store—often means more mapping and manual fixes.
The Universal Problem: A Content Dead End
Even if these tools generate good content for ManoMano, they create a major roadblock. The content is now trapped. If you want to sell the same products on Amazon, OTTO, or another marketplace, you can't reuse that work. Each system has different data requirements, and these platform-locked tools cannot format your content for other destinations. This forces you to start from scratch for every new channel, killing your ability to scale.
The Scalable Workflow: A Content Pipeline with Conbase.ai
Moving Beyond Platform-Lock: With Conbase.ai you export your ManoMano catalog, run it through an external pipeline, and import polished content back—no plugins, no extra PIM. This open approach lets you reuse the same file for any channel, saving weeks of rework.
Your Data, Your Rules: Because you work directly with a CSV, you decide which columns to include, how prompts should read, and how long the output can be. The result is consistent, high-quality data that meets ManoMano’s structure every time.
Step-by-Step: Your Complete ManoMano AI Generation Workflow
Step 1: Export Your Product Data from ManoMano
Start by pulling a full catalog export so you have every attribute in one file.
- Log in to the ManoMano Seller Portal.
- Go to Catalog > Products and click Export.
- Choose your product scope (all products, by brand, or by category).
- Select CSV as the file format and hit Generate Report.
- Once the report is ready, download it from Feed Management > Generated Reports.
Always check the official ManoMano documentation for the most up-to-date information, as interface labels and options can change.
Step 2: Prepare Your CSV for High-Quality AI Output
AI can only write great copy when it has great input. Add or verify the following “Ideal AI Input Source Columns” so the model understands the exact use case and specs of every product:
- SKU
- EAN
- base_title
- brand
- primary_use_case
- power_source
- technical_specs
- safety_features
- dimensions
- weight
- included_accessories
Important for ManoMano: Make sure to include the EAN; it is the mandatory barcode for listing products. ManoMano buyers care about technical accuracy, so feed the AI rich columns like technical_specs and primary_use_case. Vague descriptions will not satisfy this expert audience.
Step 3: Process Your Data with a Conbase.ai Pipeline
The process is simple. This video shows you the entire workflow from start to finish.
