How AI helps create quality content for digital commerce

The combination of generative AI, automated text generation, and PIM systems offers companies five distinct advantages:

1. Accelerated time-to-market
   By implementing a data-driven strategy in text automation, companies can significantly accelerate their time-to-market. New offers and services can be described and published easily, effectively, and quickly. All text types can be adapted at any time and reach different target groups faster and in a more personalized way – without time-consuming coordination processes or cost-intensive coordination with external service providers. The high quality and variance of the different text types improve the ranking of the content on Google and other search engines. As a result, automated text generation brings valuable traffic to your websites, which ultimately leads to a significant increase in conversion rates.
   
   
2. Large-scale content automation
   Large-scale content automation (“LSCA”) refers to the use of generative AI to scale content automation at the company level and across multiple languages and channels. Compared to manual processes, LSCA enables faster and more efficient creation of texts without increasing costs in proportion to the quantity of content. In addition to high-quality and varied content, even with large amounts of text, this ensures higher conversion rates and better cost efficiency.
   
   
3. More efficiency and quality
   By leveraging generative AI and structured data from PIM systems, companies can quickly and easily create high-quality text. The integration of solutions such as Retresco’s content automation platform textengine.io into a PIM system enables the automated creation of relevant content, such as product descriptions, FAQs as well as similar text types, and their publication in the relevant channels and languages.
   
   
4. Consistent brand identity
   Having a unique corporate language is becoming increasingly important, especially now with ChatGPT, GPT-4, etc. Finally, it is crucial that automated texts are not only created efficiently but also meet a brand’s high-quality standards and tone of voice. Through automated text generation, varied and high-quality content can be created at any time according to individual brand guidelines. Automation is based on the company’s own brand strategy specifications in order to create all relevant text types in a uniform way and with the desired wording. Companies benefit from addressing their customers consistently across all channels and touchpoints.
   
   
5. Simple integration
   Common systems in the field of automated text generation are designed to tick every box in terms of text scaling. This makes it possible for content teams to efficiently set up content projects and achieve long-lasting performance upgrades without requiring programming skills. Structured product information can be easily obtained from the Product Information Management system. The integration of such systems is extremely straightforward and can be done internally without the help of developers. Once the data is uploaded, the platform creates language-specific text models, keeping the uniquely defined data points consistent across all languages. In this way, once a text model has been set up, it can be used for any desired language without any additional effort.

Data-based text automation with potential

The combination of generative AI, automated text generation, and a PIM system enables digital commerce companies to create high-quality, legally compliant text at scale. Retresco and Contentserv have seamlessly integrated their text automation and Contentserv Product Experience Cloud to ensure centralized product information management and to enable the automated generation of a wide variety of text types for all major channels and languages.

With the right strategy for data-driven text automation and the use of high-quality data, companies can increase their efficiency while saving time and resources – now with the help of GPT-4 or comparable models. Thanks to large-scale content automation, companies can consolidate their text automation and roll it out on a national and international scale. This leads to more online visibility, higher conversion rates, and ultimately more success in digital commerce.
