The Categorization Agent

Auto-assigns products to your category hierarchy using AI, with confidence thresholds, a hallucination catch that rejects invented categories, auto-create mode, and re-categorization.

The Categorization Agent v2 auto-assigns products to categories from your hierarchy using AI analysis of product attributes (title, vendor, product_type, and configurable additional attributes).

Key features

  • Confidence thresholds (low, medium, high) control how aggressive the matching is.
  • Hallucination catch rejects AI-suggested category names that aren't in your actual hierarchy.
  • Escalation for products that don't match any category.
  • Auto-create — when enabled, creates new categories when no match is found ('auto' creates immediately; 'suggest' creates an attention item for review).

You can trigger re-categorization of specific products, run a confidence audit to find low-confidence assignments, and merge categories — all from the Command Center Agent.
