How to Generate WooCommerce Product Descriptions with AI

Turn Uncanny Automator into your AI product description generator—draft, edit, and publish product descriptions in bulk, right from WordPress.

You know the moment. The photos are uploaded, the price is set, the variations are sorted—and then you land in the description box. Blank. White. Waiting.

Writing one product description is easy enough. Writing 50 is a lost afternoon. Writing 500 is the reason “finish the catalog” has been on your to-do list since last quarter.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to use Uncanny Automator as your AI product description generator for WooCommerce.

Why Use an AI Product Description Generator for WooCommerce?

Let’s do some quick math—the uncomfortable kind. If a decent product description takes you 10 minutes to write, a 100-product catalog is more than 16 hours of writing. That’s two full workdays spent describing scented candles instead of selling them.

And the manual approach costs you more than time:

• Inconsistent brand voice. Descriptions written across weeks (or by different people) drift in tone. One product sounds like a luxury brand, the next like a hardware manual—and your customers notice.
• Blank boxes that quietly cost you sales. A thin or empty product page gives shoppers less reason to buy and search engines less reason to rank you. Every missing description is a small leak in your sales funnel.
• Catalogs that never get finished. When every new product means another writing session, “finish the descriptions” stays parked on the to-do list as the backlog only grows.

Okay, but couldn’t you just copy-paste your way through ChatGPT? You could, but here’s why generating those descriptions inside WordPress wins:

• Your real product data does the talking. Titles, categories, and attributes flow straight into the AI’s descriptions, saving you from retyping product details into a chat window or uploading reams of product files.
• The copy publishes itself. No shuttling text back into WordPress one paste at a time, with every paste a chance for something to go wrong.
• It scales. One product or your entire catalog—the workflow is the same.

The Fastest Way to Generate WooCommerce Product Descriptions? Just Ask Agent

So what does asking Agent for product descriptions actually look like? Let’s take a look at how Agent drafts, edits, and updates your product copywriting:

• Drafting one description at a time, right from the product editor
• Bulk writing or rewriting every product description with a single request
• Editing and updating existing descriptions—rewrites, refreshes, and catalog-wide changes

Let’s walk through each one, with the exact requests you can type into Agent’s chat window.

Draft AI Product Descriptions One at a Time

Open the editor for the product you’re working on, click the Uncanny Agent tab at the bottom of the screen, and an Agent chat window will appear.

Uncanny Agent can detect what page of your WordPress site you’re on so it already knows what you want to work on.

Simply tell Agent:

“Write a description for this product, following the same writing style, tone, and brand voice from other product descriptions.”

Agent already knows the product’s title, categories, attributes, and all of the other information you’ve already put into the editor, so the copy it drafts is grounded in your real catalog data—not generic filler. Review, tweak if you like, and save.

The blank box problem, solved in one sentence.

Draft AI Product Descriptions in Bulk

If you’re missing dozens (or even hundreds) of product descriptions, or if you would like to update more than one product description at a time, just ask Agent.

“Write a description for every product in my product catalog that doesn’t already have one. Follow the same writing style, tone, and brand voice from other product descriptions.”

Agent will comb through your catalog, identify the products you specified in your prompt, and start drafting. What used to be a two-workday writing marathon becomes a request you type in seconds and complete in minutes. And since Agent doesn’t bill by the word, a big catalog costs exactly the same as a small one.

Edit and Update Existing Product Descriptions

Generating new copy is only half the job—your existing descriptions need love too. Agent handles rewrites and updates the same way it handles drafts:

“Add the line ‘LIMITED TIME ONLY’ to the beginning of the short description for every product in the ‘Merchandise’ category. Give the line a glowing effect using custom CSS.”

Seasonal promos, policy changes, a brand voice refresh after a rebrand—the edits that used to mean opening products one by one become a single request. Agent finds the right products, makes the changes, and keeps everything consistent while it’s at it.

Pro Tips for Using an AI Product Description Generator

1. Show Agent your best copy. Ask it to follow the writing style, tone, and brand voice of your existing descriptions—it will analyze your current copy first and match it, so your catalog reads like one writer wrote it.
2. Put your guardrails in the request. Word count, format, reading level, what to highlight, what to avoid—the more direction you give Agent up front, the less editing you do after. “100–150 words, two short paragraphs, end with a reason to buy” beats “write a description”.
3. Start with a small batch. Before you ask Agent to write your entire catalog, have it draft descriptions for a handful of products. Review the output, refine your instructions, and then open the floodgates.
4. Cover both description fields. WooCommerce products have a long description and a short description—ask Agent to write both, with the short version tuned to be punchy and scannable.
5. Make Agent your editor, too. Once the writing is done, ask Agent to review your descriptions for typos, inconsistent tone, or missing details. It’s just as good at proofreading your catalog as it is at writing it.
