01

How AI chooses products

A model responds to a prompt using its available context and capabilities. One answer is an observation, not a universal ranking. In Gengine, compare repeated prompts across configured model APIs and preserve the original text.

The product listing is the reference

Confirm brand, model, variant and GTIN when available. Make RAM, storage, screen, battery, price and currency explicit when present. Do not copy unknown attributes from another variant.

Structured data, without shortcuts

Product structured data should agree with the visible listing and its specific offer. Review model identity, seller, currency and availability. Schema does not guarantee a recommendation, and the audit does not publish changes.

Stores and marketplaces are separate offers

A canonical product can have multiple channel/seller listings. A store cited by AI is an observed suggestion, not an active integration or transaction. CSV is available; partner API connections require setup.

Read attributes against evidence

Capture content through the configured service or upload HTML/text. Inspect completeness and extraction reasons before accepting values. Unknown does not fail a rule, and low evidence coverage suppresses scores.

Measure, act, then measure again

Separate recommendation from mention and show the valid-answer denominator. Connect listing corrections to saved findings. Re-audit uses stored snapshots, not a new fetch; visibility is never converted into invented sales.
