Industrialize e-commerce product sheets by targeted prompts at Cdiscount

Use described publicly by Journal du Net — Isabelle Serot (Cdiscount) (4 September 2024), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Isabelle Serot, Data Manager of Cdiscount, describes about a million product sheets created each week. Since the end of the first half of 2023, pre-entry models (GPT-4 et al.) produce plugs via effective prompts, with human survey to detect hallucinations.

What was done

Journal du Net (Bruno Poncet, September 4, 2024). Management retained: rapid industrial to create and recategorize product sheets, catalog of about 70 million offers. Fine tuning considered too expensive. Distinct from chatbot Cdiscount (other URL). Mathieu Chapon (same article): out of title. Limit 3/URL.

Before you start

Tool cited by the source: GPT-4 (Cdiscount); other tools cited: GPT-4. Fill in the bracketed items: [coller], [mots-clés]. Strip confidential data that is not needed and check your tool’s access terms. Features and plans can change.

The method, in three steps.

  1. Gather the context

    Spot the bracketed items in the prompt ([coller], [mots-clés]) and prepare what they ask for.

  2. Adapt the prompt

    Copy the prompt below, replace the bracketed items, then paste it into the AI assistant you use. The cited tool (GPT-4 (Cdiscount)) is not necessarily available to the public..

  3. Reread before using

    Reread the result, correct it if needed and keep the final decision. Caveats are detailed below.

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
Product attributes (facts): [coller]. SEO instructions: [mots-clés].

Write title, description 120 words, 5 chips. Do not invent any attribute. If a facet is missing, say it.

What deserves your attention

A generated sheet is not the published sheet. Control one sample by radius before placing online, and do not invent any missing attributes.
