Product content creation AI tools & guidance

How brands & retailers can efficiently scale and manage their product content smarter

Leverage AI to streamline product content cretaion, automate descriptions, and deliver personalized messages that engage customers faster and smarter.

The rise of AI-powered digital is transforming how businesses approach product content strategy. Processes are becoming more efficient and scalable, enabling teams to produce, optimize, and personalize AI product descriptions, visuals, and messaging with speed and consistency.

Today’s leading brands use AI for product content creation at scale, automating updates across ecommerce channels, and maintain brand consistency—freeing up time and resources for creativity and innovation.

Recent reports show that companies using AI for content creation are already improving speed-to-market, reducing manual work, and enhancing customer experiences. Rather than replacing human input, AI empowers your team to create high-quality, conversion-ready content at scale.

Product content creation AI: a revolution

AI is revolutionizing how brands and retailers approach product content creation. From automating AI product descriptions to generating dynamic images and videos, AI tools are making content creation faster, more scalable, and more consistent.

Leading businesses are already using AI-powered solutions to:

  • Generate engaging and accurate product descriptions instantly. AI-powered tools like Copy.ai and Jasper can generate compelling product descriptions in seconds, reducing the time and effort needed for manual writing.
  • Create personalized shopping experiences through AI-driven recommendations. According to McKinsey, companies using AI for personalization see revenue increases up to 15%.
  • Automate the creation of high-quality product images and videos. AI-powered design tools generate on-brand visuals that maintain consistency across multiple platforms.

Beyond automation, AI allows you to optimize your content strategy by analyzing data to uncover what resonates with your audience and where to improve. However, as AI-generated product content scales, managing it across channels becomes a challenge.

We’ve compiled a guide of AI tools for e-commerce, including examples of how retailers are using them.

That’s why integrating AI with a centralized platform like a Product Information Management (PIM) system is essential. Without it, your content becomes fragmented and hard to control. A PIM ensures your AI-enhanced assets remain structured, synchronized, and accessible across all digital and physical touchpoints.

Why AI-driven content marketing matters for your business

The AI revolution in product content

Your customers expect real-time, tailored experiences and consistent information across every touchpoint. They want accurate, compelling product descriptions, visuals, and details—no matter where they shop.

AI-generated content helps meet these expectations at scale by combining speed, accuracy, and personalization. With AI, you can:

For example, leading ecommerce brands are now using AI-powered video generation to showcase products more engagingly. These AI tools not only save time but also help brands maintain visual consistency across multiple channels.

In fact, AI-generated product videos can increase engagement and conversions by up to 20%, demonstrating just how effective AI-driven content can be in today’s digital-first environment.

But to truly unlock the value of this automation, AI must be connected to a centralized system—like a PIM platform—to manage, structure, and distribute that content efficiently. Without it, even the best content won’t reach the right audience, in the right format, at the right time.

State of AI in Product Information Management

Scaling content production without losing quality

Creating high-quality product content at scale has always been a challenge. AI solves this by generating content faster while maintaining accuracy and brand consistency.

Brands using AI and human efforts for product content management experience reduced content errors, leading to better customer experiences and fewer returns due to inaccurate information.

This means you can launch new products faster, keep your content fresh, and maintain consistency across every customer touchpoint. When integrated with PIM, AI-generated content is automatically updated, synchronized, and distributed across all your sales channels, ensuring seamless content management. Ensuring your product content is consistent across all channels is a critical part of digital shelf management and optimization.

Product content creation and personalization with AI

AI doesn’t just help you scale—it helps you create content that speaks directly to your customers. In fact, personalization in e-commerce is now expected by your audience, and is critical tactic for engaging consumers’ evolving scroll, stream, search and shop buyer behaviours.

By analyzing shopping behaviors, AI can:

With AI, you can move beyond one-size-fits-all content and deliver experiences that truly resonate with your audience. However, integrating AI with PIM is essential to ensure this personalized content reaches the right customer at the right time.

PIM allows you to efficiently manage and distribute AI-enhanced content, ensuring a seamless and personalized shopping experience across all touchpoints.

How to start using AI tools for your product content

Still unsure how to integrate AI into your product content workflow? You’re not alone. The key is to start simple, build momentum, and let your results guide deeper adoption.

Here’s how to start using AI tools effectively:

1. Start small

Begin with high-impact, low-risk tasks like AI product description generation or automated image creation. These tools can help you quickly generate accurate, on-brand content while significantly reducing time spent on manual writing. Many brands test these capabilities using apps like Copy.ai, Jasper, or AI-powered image generators.

2. Scale up gradually

Once you’ve validated the efficiency gains, scale your use of AI across the full content creation pipeline. This could include automating product updates, powering SEO-optimized copy, or streamlining email and ad campaigns tailored to different customer segments.

3. Leverage AI insights

Use AI-driven analytics and data to fine-tune your strategy. AI can surface trends around which product messaging performs best, which channels drive the most conversions, and how different audiences engage. This insight helps you not just create more—but optimize everything you publish.

4. Connect AI to your content infrastructure

Even the smartest automation can create chaos without structure. That’s why pairing AI with a Product Information Management (PIM) platform is critical. A PIM ensures your AI-generated assets—descriptions, images, specs—are centrally organized, enriched, and distributed accurately across all your sales channels.

Adopting AI doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small, track results, and scale strategically. By combining automation with centralized control, you can create better product content faster—without compromising quality, consistency, or brand voice.
