Identify a tile from an Instagram inspiration photo

Use described publicly by CCI du Gers — testimony EG Carrelage (20 October 2026), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

At EG Tile in Auch, Elodie uses the general AI to find the manufacturer or a similar tile when a customer arrives with an inspirational photo, and to respond to reviews, write emails and structure publications.

What was done

In a testimony published on October 20, 2026, the CCI du Gers gave the floor to Elodie, co-manager with her spouse Guillaume d'EG Tile and bathroom, a store opened in March 2025 in the hippodrome area in Auch. It manages administrative and all digital presence (site, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google file, YouTube). She says she "deculpabiliized" to use the AI for repetitive tasks: replies to Google reviews, writing some emails, dedicated assistants to structure publications on networks. The most marked use is the search for products from a photo: when a customer arrives with an inspirational image found on Instagram, the AI analyses the visual to identify the manufacturer or find a similar tile available in Europe, where manual searching used to take valuable time. It is also used for natural referencing and the identification of keywords. The company then displays 56 Google reviews, all rated five stars, and comes out at the top of local searches, including on generating engines like ChatGPT or Perplexity. The testimony does not name the used AI tool.

Your starting point.

Replace the bracketed items, then adapt the proposal to your situation. This prompt is written by the iadujour desk It is not a quotation from the source.

The prompt to customise
A customer brings this inspiration photo (description of the visual: format, color, finish, seal, pose): [décrire].

1. Proposes 5 tracks of nearby tile manufacturers or ranges, indicating what fits and what differs.
2. Lists missing information (dimensions, internal/external use, budget).
3. Write 3 questions to ask the customer before ordering.
Never asserts that a product is identical without seeing it in real life.

What deserves your attention

The 56 five-star reviews and local visibility are not attributed to the AI alone: they also result from CCI accompaniment, a fixed slot on Wednesday morning and a weekly publication. A tile suggestion from a photo should be checked in store before telling the customer.
