The Power of a Smart Product Catalog

Your Aisista AI chatbot isn't just a conversational interface; it's an intelligent sales and support agent. When you meticulously add your products and services to the platform, you empower your AI to:

  • Answer Product-Specific Questions: From features and benefits to pricing and availability, your AI can provide instant, accurate answers.
  • Guide Purchase Decisions: The bot can recommend products based on customer needs, compare options, and highlight unique selling points.
  • Automate Order Processing: For businesses set up to take orders, the AI can capture customer requests, product selections, and relevant details, streamlining the sales funnel.
  • Maintain Consistency: Ensure every customer receives the same, up-to-date information, reducing errors and improving trust.

Step-by-Step: Managing Your Products in Aisista

Let's dive into the Aisista dashboard and see how easy it is to populate your AI with your valuable offerings.

1. Navigate to the Products Page

After logging into your Aisista dashboard and selecting your business, locate the "Products" link in the left-hand sidebar. Clicking this will take you to your product management hub, where you'll see a grid of all your currently listed products and services.

2. Adding a New Product or Service

To introduce a new item to your catalog:

  • Click the prominent "Add Product" button, usually found at the top right of the Products page.
  • You'll be directed to a form where you can input the following details:
    • Product Name: A clear, concise name for your item (e.g., "Premium Coffee Blend," "Website Design Package").
    • Description: This is crucial for your AI. Provide a detailed, engaging description. Include key features, benefits, use cases, and any relevant specifications. The more comprehensive, the better your AI can understand and explain it.
    • Stock Count: If applicable, enter the current quantity available. This allows your AI to inform customers about stock levels.
    • Picture: Upload a high-quality image of your product. A visual representation enhances the customer experience when the AI shares product details. You'll see a preview of your selected image.
  • Once all details are entered, click "Save Product" to add it to your catalog.

3. Editing Existing Products

Business offerings evolve, and so should your product catalog. To update an existing product:

  • On the Products page, find the product card you wish to modify.
  • Click on the product card itself (or an "Edit" icon if present). This will open the same form you used for adding, pre-filled with the current details.
  • Make your necessary changes to the name, description, stock count, or picture. You can also replace or delete existing images.
  • Click "Update Product" to save your revisions.

4. Deleting Products

If a product is discontinued or no longer offered:

  • On the Products page, locate the product card.
  • Click the "Delete" button (often represented by a trash can icon) on the product card.
  • Confirm your decision when prompted. Be cautious, as this action is usually irreversible.

Best Practices for Product Descriptions

To maximize your AI's effectiveness, consider these tips when writing product descriptions:

  • Be Clear and Concise: While detailed, avoid jargon where possible.
  • Use Bullet Points: For features, benefits, or FAQs, bullet points make information easily digestible for both humans and AI.
  • Anticipate Questions: Think about what customers typically ask about this product and include those answers.
  • Keep it Updated: Regularly review and update descriptions to reflect changes in features, pricing, or availability.
