Product Details “Supercharger’

We have an exciting new feature!  We know that taking the time to find and enter product information can be a real-time drain, yet we also know that it is vitally important to have a good-looking and functioning site!

So, we created the Product Detail Supercharger.  This new feature harnesses the power of AI to find and generate content on the product you select.  It is feature-wrapped, so we do need to turn it on for you (initially).  Navigate to any product in the Inventory configuration, and you'll see the Product Detail Supercharger button.  Click it and it will ask a few prompts and then use the information already loaded (manufacturer make and model is SUPER helpful) and generates the short description, an enhanced long description, specifications in the proper formatting and tags.  You'll have the chance to review the information before you hit submit, and it puts all the data in the appropriate places.

Like Google API keys, after a trial of 30 or so items, you'll be asked to put in your credentials for Chat GPT.
