Generative AI bots that check and enrich e-commerce product sheets
Fnac Darty's bots have enriched several million product sheets a year since 2023
Problem
Fnac Darty lists about 15 million offers on its sites. Product sheets had to be correctly categorised and complete so that customers could find items.
Approach
The retailer created a data and AI team in early 2023. Bots checked whether each product sheet sat in the right category and corrected it when it did not, then enriched the sheets. About ten generative AI use cases had been scaled up by January 2025.
Results
Takeaway
The retailer gave a volume of sheets processed but no measured effect on sales in this interview.
