By Daniel Manco

Introduction

The Goal:
- By the end of this guide, you'll be able to automatically create engaging, SEO-friendly descriptions for hundreds or thousands of products in minutes, transforming your catalog management workflow.
The Problem:
- Writing a unique description for each product is slow, inconsistent, and doesn't scale. Teams often slog through spreadsheets line by line, causing delays that hurt launch schedules and search rankings.
The Solution:
- Conbase.ai's prompt-driven pipeline lets you generate descriptions at scale with instructions tailored to your brand voice instead of settling for cookie-cutter text.
Prerequisites: A Conbase.ai account and a sample CSV file.
- You'll need:
  - A Conbase.ai account
  - A CSV file containing your products with columns like product_name, short_features, category, price
  - Basic knowledge of your store's tone and SEO rules

Are you here for the first time ? Then watch a full conbase.ai workflow in action

This video walks you through a complete conbase.ai workflow, from input to final output, so you can see exactly how the platform works and how to get the most out of its features.

Step 1: Set Up Your Project and Import Data

Create a New Project

Upload Your Product Data (CSV)

Drag your CSV into the uploader. Conbase.ai reads up to 10,000 rows at a time and detects headers automatically.

Data prep tips:

Make headers clear and descriptive
Strip stray symbols that may confuse the model
Add helpful context columns, for example bullet points or materials
Spot-check for typos before upload

Step 2: Build Your AI Generation Pipeline

Add an Action Step

You have two paths:

Option A: Use a Template – Search the library for "E-commerce Description Generator" and tweak it.
Option B: Create from Scratch – Click Create New for full control.

We'll follow Option B and call the step Generate Description.

Set Up Your Custom Prompt: A 3-Part Recipe

Part 1: Instruction

You are a retail copywriter. Write a concise, persuasive product description no longer than 150 words. Use an upbeat tone, include an SEO keyword if provided, and end with a call to action. Do not invent specs.

Part 2: Context

Product Name: {product_name}
Key Features: {short_features}
Category: {category}
Price: {price}
SEO Keyword: {seo_keyword}

Part 3: Output

Select or create the column generated_description.
Add examples:

Output Column: generated_description
Output Example: Meet the Luna Smart Mug – a double-walled ceramic cup that keeps coffee hot for 90 minutes. Sync it with the free app, pick your perfect temp, and sip at your pace. Grab yours today and upgrade every morning.

Click Save Changes.

Step 3: Configure and Run the Pipeline

Fine-Tune AI Settings

Model: GPT-4o

Processing Mode:

Instant – good for test runs and for fast results
Scheduled – cuts API cost roughly in half if you can wait up to 24 hours

Integration Mode:

Fill if empty
Overwrite
Append

Start with Instant and Fill if empty.

Select Rows and Execute

Pick 10 rows for a dry run.
Run the pipeline.
Review output and adjust the prompt if wording feels off.
When happy, select the full dataset and fire it off.

Step 4: Review and Export Your Results

Quality Check

Open random rows and compare input to output.
Confirm tone, length, and keyword inclusion.
Watch for hallucinated specs.

Export as CSV

Click Export in the lower right corner. Conbase.ai bundles original columns plus generated_description into one CSV.

Back up your original file before importing to your e-commerce platform.
Test-import 20 rows to catch encoding issues.
