Sort a whole catalogue into categories by asking
Create categories one at a time or in a batch, rename them, nest them under a parent and set smart category rules, all from your assistant. Deleting asks twice.

In short
Category tools let an assistant create_category or create_categories_batch, update_category, set_category_parent, list_categories and get_category with child and item counts. delete_category is permanent and needs a confirmation token, and smart category rules are set with the set_category_rules action.
The problem it solves
A shop that grew from 40 items to 900 has categories named after whoever added them. Fixing the tree by hand, one form at a time, never gets done.
How it works
4 steps, start to finish
-
1
Describe the tree
Tell the assistant the categories you want and where they belong.
-
2
It creates them
create_categories_batch makes several at once; set_category_parent nests them.
-
3
It tidies up
update_category renames or edits only the fields you name.
-
4
Deleting is guarded
delete_category needs a token from get_category, and a separate one to force it.
In detail
What categories by AI does for you
-
One or many
Create a single category or a batch.
-
Nesting
Move a category under a parent.
-
Counts
get_category returns child and item counts before you change anything.
-
Smart categories
Rules with all or any matching, set through the set_category_rules action.
-
Safe deletes
Permanent, so always confirmed first.
-
Yes, with create_categories_batch.
-
No. update_category only changes the fields passed.
-
Deleting needs a confirmation token from get_category first, and forcing a delete needs its own token.
Works together with
- Organise categories by asking, in a chat-style workspace.
- Name, SKU, scan code or description all match the same search box.
- Create orders, collect payments, issue refunds, manage KOTs, adjust stock and record expenses.
- A write can run as a dry run first; one that needs it will not run without a confirmation.
