# Catalog agent

> Chat with the Atlios catalog agent to plan and prepare catalog cleanups.

The catalog agent is an assistant you chat with to clean up a store's catalog.
Tell it what you want in plain language, and it plans the work and prepares the
changes for you to approve.

## What it does

The agent plans the work for you, but it never changes your store on its own.
It works out the steps, prepares the changes, and puts them on a review screen.
Nothing reaches Shopify until you approve it.

It works only on Shopify catalog cleanup: tags, vendors, product types,
metafields, descriptions, and image alt text. If you ask for something else, it
lets you know it cannot help with that.

## What you can ask for

The agent can prepare these changes:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Move tags into a metafield">
    Turn a set of related tags into a proper metafield, for example
    `Gender_Male` into a `custom.gender` metafield, and drop the old tags.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Remove unwanted tags">
    Clean up junk, test, or leftover tags across the catalog.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fix inconsistent values">
    Merge different spellings of a vendor or product type into one consistent
    value, for example `nike` and `NIKE` into `Nike`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Rewrite descriptions">
    Rewrite product descriptions in your brand voice. Uses credits per product.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Rewrite image alt text">
    Generate fresh alt text for product images, for accessibility and SEO. Uses
    credits.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fill in missing metafields">
    Fill the metafields your store tracks, or fix values a scan flagged as wrong.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Create a metafield definition">
    Set up a new metafield definition. This always asks for explicit
    confirmation first.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Most actions are reversible. Generated content, like rewritten descriptions and
alt text, is not, so review it before you approve.

## Where to find it

You can reach the agent two ways:

* From the **agent hero** on [store home](/product/dashboards): type a request
  and press Enter to open the agent full screen.
* From the **agent panel** that stays open as you work.

Both share the same conversation, so you can pick up where you left off.

## Review and approval

Every change the agent prepares waits for your approval on the review screen.
Open it, check what will change and on which products, then approve or discard.
If your organization has turned on automatic apply, you can tell the agent to go
ahead without the review step, but it asks for that explicitly.

<Note>
  Rewrites and alt text use AI credits. If you run out, or your plan does not
  include an action, the agent points you to upgrade. See [Billing and
  credits](/product/billing-and-credits).
