What are Instructions?

Custom Instructions let you create reusable templates that ensure consistent brand voice and messaging across all AI-generated content. Custom Instructions

Purpose of Custom Instructions

Instructions are templates that guide the AI in generating content according to your specific requirements. They allow you to:
  • Maintain consistent brand voice across all products
  • Include specific messaging or positioning
  • Emphasize certain product features
  • Use brand-specific terminology
  • Create different styles for different product categories
  • Automate repetitive content patterns

Instruction Types

Instructions are categorized by the content they generate:
  • Title: For product title generation
  • Description: For product description generation
  • SEO Title: For SEO page title generation
  • Meta Description: For meta description generation
  • Image Alt Text: For image alt text generation
Each instruction type appears only where it’s relevant.

System vs Custom Instructions

  • System Instructions: Built-in templates provided by the app (cannot be edited)
  • Custom Instructions: Your own templates (fully editable and deletable)
System instructions provide a starting point, while custom instructions give you full control.

Choose the content type this instruction applies to:
  • Title: Appears when generating product titles
  • Description: Appears for product descriptions
  • pageTitle: For SEO page titles
  • metaDescription: For meta descriptions
  • imageAlt: For image alt text
Each instruction works with only one content type.

Writing Instruction Text

Compose the instruction that guides AI behavior: Example for a luxury product description:
Create an elegant, sophisticated product description emphasizing premium quality and craftsmanship. Use refined language and highlight exclusive features. Mention the brand heritage of {product.vendor} and position this product as a luxury item. Include information about {product.tags} to add context.
Be specific about:
  • Tone and style
  • What to emphasize
  • What to include
  • Length preferences
  • Formatting requirements

Using Variables in Instructions

Insert dynamic variables to personalize content:
  • Click variable tags to insert them into your instruction
  • Variables are replaced with actual product data during generation
  • Makes instructions reusable across many products

Available Variables

Use these variables in your custom instructions to dynamically insert product information:

Product Variables

  • {product.title} - The product’s title
  • {product.description} - Current product description
  • {seo.title} - Current SEO page title
  • {seo.description} - Current meta description

How Variables Work

During generation:
  1. AI reads your instruction template
  2. Variables are replaced with actual product data
  3. AI generates content based on the complete instruction
  4. Result is customized to each specific product
