The other day, I met my friend for coffee, and we discussed her WooCommerce business. She mentioned that she sometimes struggles and ends up reusing the same adjectives—sleek, nice, stylish—for her product descriptions across multiple products.
The worst part? She often doesn’t realize it until much later when her store pages already sound repetitive.
As an AI enthusiast, I immediately suggested using AI to automate the process. But my friend was hesitant because she thought connecting AI to her WooCommerce store would be too complicated.
That’s when I told her to leave it to me. Within one day, I had her WooCommerce store connected to OpenAI.
Now, all her product descriptions are unique, fresh, and written automatically.✨
If you’ve ever felt stuck writing the same product descriptions over and over, don’t worry. In this guide, I’ll show you my AI tricks to generate WooCommerce descriptions automatically.
Why Auto-Generate WooCommerce Product Descriptions With AI?
Auto-generating your WooCommerce product descriptions can help you save time, improve consistency, boost SEO, and make scaling your online store much easier.
Here’s how it helps:
- Save hours on manual writing: Quickly create product descriptions without staring at a blank screen.
- Keep descriptions consistent: Every product sounds polished and professional.
- Boost SEO: Automatically include relevant keywords to rank higher in search results.
- Reduce repetitive content: Avoid using the same words and phrases across your entire store.
- Scale easily: Generate descriptions efficiently, whether you have a few products or hundreds.
When I set this up for my friend, she saw the difference right away—her WooCommerce store looked sharper, her descriptions were consistent, and she saved hours every week.
Uncanny Automator vs StoreAgent: Which One Should You Pick?
I’m going to cover two methods in this tutorial. Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison to help you decide:
| | Uncanny Automator | StoreAgent |
|————|——————————————————|———————————————-|
| Best For | Larger stores that need full automation | Beginners or smaller shops looking for a simple solution |
| Setup | Moderate – requires connecting an OpenAI API key | Easy – guided setup, account creation, and plugin connection |
| Workflow | Fully automated recipes run in the background whenever you add products | Product Description AI lets you generate descriptions for each product individually |
| Flexibility| Highly customizable – tweak triggers, actions, prompts, and more | Limited options but very simple to use |
| Cost | Free version available; Pro upgrade recommended for frequent use | Free version works for most small stores |
Both tools have their strengths, so I suggest choosing the one that matches your store size and workflow. It can also depend on how much control you want over your product descriptions.
