How to structure a catalogue so an AI host answers properly in fashion, beauty and electronics, and where it should hand back to a person.
What an AI host is good at changes with what you sell. Three guides on structuring a catalogue so the agent answers properly, and on where it should hand back to a person.

The generic version of this pitch is that an AI host sells anything around the clock. That is true enough to be useless when you are deciding whether to run one against your own catalogue.
What actually varies by category is what kind of question the comment thread asks, and whether your product data can answer it:
- Fashion questions are mostly about fit and fabric, which are answerable from a real size chart and a composition field, and unanswerable without one.
- Beauty questions are mostly about ingredients and suitability, which are factual right up to the line where they become regulated efficacy claims.
- Electronics questions are mostly about compatibility and specification, which have right answers, and where a confidently wrong answer costs a return rather than a click.
Each guide below sets out the questions that vertical really gets, the catalogue fields you need before going live, and then the part worth reading most: where the agent is weak and should stop rather than improvise.
What is common to all three
Configure refusals before you configure the script. The value of a catalogue-grounded host is that it answers from data; the risk is that it answers anyway when the data is missing. Every guide below names the fields where "not listed" is the correct output.
Never let the host claim personal experience. A synthetic presenter saying it uses the product every day is a fabricated first-person claim by someone who does not exist. It is the fastest way to turn a compliant stream into a deceptive one, in any category and on any platform.
Check the destination's rules too. What you may say is a category question; whether you may use an AI host at all is a platform question.
