ECommerce Product Descriptions
Every 15 minutes, it finds pending products in Airtable and uses GPT-4o-mini to generate structured descriptions and features.
What it does
You get fresh, structured product descriptions and features for every pending item in your Airtable base automatically. The system pulls your product attributes, generates the content using GPT-4o-mini, and updates your records so they are ready to go without manual effort.
Step by step
- Configure the Airtable trigger to poll for records where the status field equals 'Pending'.
- Set up a batch node to chunk pending products into groups of 10-20 items for efficient LLM processing.
- Define the JSON schema in the Structured Output Parser to enforce keys like title, description, and bullet_points.
- Map the parsed JSON fields back to specific Airtable columns using the Code node before updating records.
Where the LLM does the work
- Craft system prompts that instruct the model to adopt a specific brand voice for each product category.
- Generate unique selling points by analyzing raw attribute data rather than just repeating specifications.
- Refine generated descriptions to ensure they meet SEO best practices without sounding robotic or repetitive.
Watch out for
Batch sizes that are too large can cause token limit errors so keep chunks small enough to fit within context windows comfortably.
Invalid JSON structures from the LLM will crash the parser so implement a retry mechanism with strict schema enforcement.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal ECommerce Product Descriptions: Every 15 minutes, it finds pending products in Airtable and uses GPT-4o-mini to generate structured descriptions and features. ## Specification - What it does: You get fresh, structured product descriptions and features for every pending item in your Airtable base automatically. The system pulls your product attributes, generates the content using GPT-4o-mini, and updates your records so they are ready to go without manual effort. - Trigger: On a schedule (Scheduled · every 15 minutes) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - Airtable: Fetching and updating product records - OpenAI Chat Model: Generating AI content - Code: Formatting JSON for Airtable fields - Structured Output Parser: Ensuring clean AI output structure ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Batch sizes that are too large can cause token limit errors so keep chunks small enough to fit within context windows comfortably. 2. Invalid JSON structures from the LLM will crash the parser so implement a retry mechanism with strict schema enforcement. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/11082 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Spreadsheet than Airtable?
Yes. Airtable is only the example spreadsheet in this recipe. The same flow works with Baserow, Excel and Google Sheets. Swap the spreadsheet connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
