AI Workflows vs old Content Enrichment

AI Workflows replace the previous Content Enrichment and Translation job system in Elovate.

The new workflow system combines triggers, AI actions, moderation and execution management into a single automation layer.

This creates a more scalable and structured way to manage catalog automation.


What changed?

Previously, enrichment and translation processes were often handled as separate manual jobs.

A typical process looked like this:

  1. Import products

  2. Run a Content Enrichment job

  3. Review generated content

  4. Run translations separately

  5. Synchronize data manually

While effective, this required multiple disconnected steps and limited automation possibilities.

AI Workflows unify these processes into a single pipeline.


How AI Workflows improve the old process

Rule based automation

Old enrichment jobs were mostly manual.

AI Workflows allow you to automatically target products using rules such as:

  • Description is empty

  • Category equals Shoes

  • Brand equals Nike

  • Status is enabled

This allows workflows to process only relevant products automatically.


Chained AI actions

Previously, enrichment and translation were separate jobs.

With AI Workflows, actions can run sequentially.

Example:

  1. Extract missing attributes

  2. Generate enriched descriptions

  3. Translate content

  4. Validate quality

  5. Synchronize products

This creates a fully automated enrichment pipeline.


Better workflow visibility

The old system provided limited execution visibility.

AI Workflows introduce:

  • workflow overviews

  • progress tracking

  • task statuses

  • moderation states

  • execution monitoring

  • centralized workflow management

You can now clearly track:

  • running workflows

  • completed actions

  • moderation queues

  • synchronization progress

  • failed executions


Improved moderation

AI Workflows provide stronger moderation capabilities.

You can:

  • assign editors

  • assign moderators

  • inspect AI reasoning

  • review confidence scores

  • approve or decline generated output before synchronization

This improves quality control for AI generated content.


Continuous automation

Old enrichment jobs were usually executed manually.

AI Workflows introduce continuous execution capabilities.

Continuous workflows automatically process new matching products over time.

Example:
Whenever a new product without a description is imported, the workflow can automatically:

  • enrich content

  • translate attributes

  • validate quality

  • synchronize updates

without manual intervention.


Migration from old jobs

Existing Content Enrichment and Translation jobs are automatically migrated into AI Workflows where possible.

This means:

  • your existing configurations remain available

  • historical jobs become workflows

  • workflows appear in the new workflow overview

The migration helps centralize all AI operations inside one system.

Why AI Workflows matter

AI Workflows transform Elovate from a collection of separate AI tools into a scalable automation platform for catalog operations.

This allows teams to:

  • automate repetitive tasks

  • improve data consistency

  • scale multilingual catalogs

  • reduce operational workload

  • create reusable AI pipelines

  • manage enrichment centrally

The result is a more controlled, scalable and future proof way to manage product data enrichment with AI.
