Product imports

Bring the catalog you already have.

ConfigAI treats every import as a source-backed product onboarding job. AI is used where interpretation is valuable; deterministic paths stay deterministic when a supplier already exposes structured product data.

Six ways in

Different sources. One product contract.

Every source ends in the same Preview → Review → Apply flow, so adding a website importer or pCon connection does not create a parallel product database.

Agent-assisted

Website

Research public product pages, preserve exact links and captured evidence, and let the agent propose product structure.

Agent-assisted

PDF catalog

Extract text and page evidence, then use the same product-setup workflow rather than flattening the PDF into names only.

Deterministic

pCon Catalog

Read the provider's model list and source hierarchy directly. No AI prerequisite for the deterministic catalog path.

Supplier connection

pCon / OFML

Connect authorised supplier data and preserve source product identities, family relations, configuration context, and assets.

Agent-assisted

Conversation

Let a product owner describe the range, then convert the conversation into explicit fields, products, and open questions.

Direct

Manual

Create or correct products through the same Product Type fields and revision model used by every other import.

Website research

Research should make imports faster, not turn the agent into a browser babysitter.

The website path is designed around exact source capture: start from authorised links, collect product text, JSON-LD and images, preserve low-confidence findings, and reuse captured evidence instead of re-fetching the same pages.

01

Discover exact pages

Identify brand, collection, series, and product URLs while keeping the original source hierarchy and HTML base resolution intact.

02

Capture evidence

Store the text, structured metadata, images, and source revision the proposal depends on. JEV can accelerate bounded research and replay captured results.

03Evidence first

Propose, do not invent

Map only confident facts to products. Collection-level information remains collection-level unless the source proves a product-level claim.

pCon Catalog

Structured supplier data does not need an AI detour.

The pCon Catalog path is intentionally deterministic: provider product identities and available source relations are imported directly, and available CAD can be converted and attached without making Gatekeeper or an AI agent a prerequisite.

Public catalog

Model list
Provider product identity

Images
Available family / series relation
Available CAD → GLB

Private / supplier data

When a supplier requires login or Gatekeeper-authorised access, credentials remain part of the connection boundary rather than being copied into product records.

Source authority stays separate from product authority.

ConfigAI records where a product came from; the reviewed ConfigAI revision remains the application-facing product definition.

Import protocol

Collect → normalize → ask → preview → review → apply.

The important part is not the crawler. It is making every import repeatable, idempotent, reviewable, and bound to exact product and source revisions.

01CollectCapture source identity and evidence without creating products yet.
02NormalizeResolve products, families, types, field candidates, images, and relationships into a proposal.
03AskOpen targeted questions only where ambiguity changes the product definition.
04PreviewShow create / reuse / update decisions and semantic field impacts before mutation.
05ReviewLet the human accept, correct, or reject the proposal.
06ApplyWrite durable product/profile revisions with idempotent mutation identities.

ConfigAI workspace

Import the source. Keep the evidence.

The goal is not to scrape a catalog once. It is to create a durable, reviewable product system that can be reopened and updated when the source changes.
