Catalog and Content Enrichment Toolset

Complementing the Conversational Commerce Solution is Google Cloud’s Catalog and Content Enrichment toolset. Leveraging GenAI models such as PaLM and Imagen, this toolset can automatically generate detailed product descriptions, metadata, and categorization suggestions.

Addressing concerns about misleading information, Google emphasizes continuous improvement and human review in the enrichment workflows.
