AI Bulk Operations
One of the most powerful features of the Nuvi AI assistant is its ability to perform bulk operations — updating multiple items in a single conversation turn. This saves hours of manual work when managing a large catalog.
How Bulk Operations Work
When you give the AI a request that affects multiple items, it uses a multi-action pipeline:
- The AI analyzes your request and identifies all affected items.
- It generates an action plan showing each change it will make.
- You review the plan and approve or reject each action.
- Approved actions execute sequentially, and you see a summary of results.
This approval step ensures you never accidentally modify something you did not intend to change.
Bulk Product Updates
Common bulk product commands:
- "Increase all product prices by 10%" — Applies a percentage price increase across your catalog.
- "Set all products in the T-Shirts collection to $24.99" — Updates prices for a specific collection.
- "Mark all out-of-stock products as unpublished" — Hides products with zero inventory.
- "Add the tag 'summer-sale' to all products under $30" — Batch-adds tags based on conditions.
Bulk Content Changes
The AI can also update content across your store:
- "Update the footer text on all pages to include our new phone number" — Changes recurring content blocks.
- "Add a holiday banner to the top of every page" — Inserts a section across multiple pages.
- "Change the CTA button text from 'Buy Now' to 'Shop Now' everywhere" — Finds and replaces text in sections.
Reviewing and Approving Actions
For safety, the AI presents each bulk action with details before executing:
- Each action card shows: the item being changed, the current value, and the new value.
- Click "Approve" to execute or "Reject" to skip an individual action.
- You can approve all actions at once or review them one by one.
- Rejected actions are skipped — the AI moves on to the next one.
Limitations and Best Practices
- Batch size — The AI processes up to 50 items per request. For larger batches, split your request (e.g., "Update products A–M" then "Update products N–Z").
- Review carefully — Always read the action plan before approving. Bulk changes are harder to undo than individual edits.
- Be specific — "Increase prices of products in the Electronics category by 5%" is better than "Make some stuff more expensive."
- Test first — Try your bulk command on a small subset first (e.g., "Update the first 3 products") before applying it to your entire catalog.
