IntelliDesc for WooCommerce

IntelliDesc for WooCommerce is an AI product description generator built specifically for WooCommerce. Give it a product title and it writes a complete, SEO-friendly listing — a short description, a long description, and a clean technical specifications table — in seconds. Stop writing product descriptions by hand. Whether your catalog has 10 SKUs or 10,000, IntelliDesc automates the most repetitive part of running a store. It doesn't just generate filler text: its Smart Specs Extractor researches the product and pulls out real technical details (Processor, Material, Dimensions, Battery Capacity, and more) into a clean, structured feature list. Choose your own AI provider Most "AI product description" plugins lock you into a single vendor. IntelliDesc doesn't. Pick the AI engine that powers your content, right from the plugin settings:

• Google Gemini — fast and cost-effective, with built-in Google Search grounding for more accurate specs.
• Anthropic Claude — for stores that prefer Claude's writing style and reasoning.
• OpenAI — the same GPT models that power ChatGPT.
• xAI Grok — xAI's latest models.

Bring your own API key for any of the four, switch providers anytime from WooCommerce → IntelliDesc, and stay in full control of your AI costs. Built with WooCommerce SEO in mind Every generated description is written to help your product pages rank and convert: clean, keyword-relevant short and long descriptions, a structured specs table that reads well to shoppers and search engines alike, and — in the Pro version — direct SEO meta title/description generation for Yoast SEO and RankMath.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/intellidesc-for-woocommerce directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to WooCommerce > IntelliDesc, choose your AI provider (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, or Grok), and enter the matching API key.

How to get a FREE API Key (Google Gemini):

1. Go to Google AI Studio.
2. Click "Create API Key".
3. Copy the key and paste it into the plugin settings. Prefer a different provider? Get your API key from Anthropic Console, OpenAI Platform, or xAI Console, then select that provider in the plugin settings.

1.9.1

• New: Model Advisor — the Settings page now suggests when a newer model has become available for your currently configured AI provider, with a one-click dismiss.
• New: Added translations — Ukrainian, Polish, German, French, Spanish, and Italian.
• Fixed: A few UI strings (clear-description confirmation, error fallback text, feature-table placeholders) weren't passed through translation.
• Improved: Updated the link to our website in this readme.

1.9.0

• New: Currently active model status line on the Settings page for every provider (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Grok) — shows exactly which model id is saved and its human-readable name, even if it's no longer present in the live model list.
• New: Warning shown when your selected model starts failing with a "model not found" error (e.g. a provider deprecates or renames a model) — displayed inline in Settings next to the affected provider, and as a dismissible notice on the Settings page and product edit screens.
• Fixed: Gemini's automatic fallback model was hardcoded to gemini-2.5-flash, which Google has since restricted for new accounts — now uses gemini-3.1-flash-lite.

1.8

• New: Multi AI Provider Support — choose between Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or xAI Grok as the AI engine behind content generation (WooCommerce → IntelliDesc → AI Provider). Bring your own API key for any provider and switch anytime, at no extra cost.
• New: Dedicated API key and model fields for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and xAI Grok, with a curated model list per provider.
• Improved: API error messages are now provider-aware — invalid key, rate limit, and server error messages now name the specific provider that returned them (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, or Grok).
• Improved: Settings and product editor copy no longer hardcodes "Gemini" in generic labels (e.g., "AI Actions" metabox title, "Sending request to AI..." status text) — the plugin now reads correctly regardless of which provider is selected.

1.7

• New: AI Model Selection — choose the Gemini model directly from plugin settings (WooCommerce → IntelliDesc). The model list is fetched live from the Gemini API and cached for 24 hours.
• Improved: Default generation model updated to Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite — faster and more cost-efficient. Automatic fallback to Gemini 2.5 Flash if the primary model is unavailable.

1.6

• Improved: Complete admin UI redesign — new CSS design system with CSS custom properties (color tokens, radius, transitions) for consistent look across all plugin pages.
• Improved: "Generate Content" button now uses a branded gradient and includes a superhero icon.
• Improved: Status messages (success/error) now display with a matching Dashicon for faster visual feedback.
• Improved: Features table and settings tables — unified header styling, row hover effect, and fade-out animation when deleting rows.
• Improved: "Add Feature / Add Template / Add Unit Rule" buttons now use a dashed outline style; new rows animate in with a highlight flash.
• Improved: "Remove" row buttons replaced with a compact × icon button with a red hover state.
• Improved: Loader uses a styled info-box (blue background + border) instead of a plain spinner.
• Improved: Asset versions bumped to 1.6 to bust browser cache.
• New: Generate Descriptions Only option (WooCommerce → IntelliDesc → Content Generation). When enabled, the AI generates only the Short and Long Descriptions — feature/specs extraction is completely skipped. Useful for stores that manage attributes manually or want faster, token-light generation.

1.5

• New: Unit Rules. Define the exact unit or format Gemini must use for specific feature values (e.g., "Battery Capacity" → always in "mAh"). Configurable per-store in WooCommerce → IntelliDesc settings.
• Improved: Detailed error messages for all Gemini API failure codes (401, 403, 404, 429, 500, 503) with actionable hints displayed directly in the product editor.
• Improved: Gemini safety filter blocks (SAFETY, RECITATION finish reasons) are now caught and reported with a clear message instead of a generic error.
• Fixed: Undefined variable $native_features_str causing a PHP notice on every generation request.
• Fixed: Duplicate constant definitions for ILDESC_CATEGORY_TEMPLATES and ILDESC_CONTENT_LANGUAGE.
• Fixed: wc_get_product() was called twice per request (redundant database query removed).

1.4

• New: Smart Product Type Detection! The AI now understands whether you are editing a Simple, Variable, Virtual, or Downloadable product, and automatically adjusts its generation logic (e.g., focusing on digital specs for downloadable items or generating variation attributes for variable products).
• New: Context-Aware AI Generation. The plugin now reads the features and attributes you've already entered manually before sending the request. The AI strictly respects your inventory constraints and will no longer hallucinate extra sizes or colors that you don't actually sell!
• Pro: Advanced Native Attributes Integration. AI-generated features are now perfectly saved as real, filterable WooCommerce global attributes.
• Pro: Variable Products Automation. When saving real attributes for Variable products, the plugin now automatically checks the "Used for variations" box, making it incredibly fast to generate variations straight from AI output.
• Improved: Highly optimized prompt constraints for Gemini to prevent redundant data generation and improve factual accuracy.
• Improved: Significant code refactoring, unified prefixes, and removal of inline scripts for better performance, security, and strict compliance with WordPress.org coding standards.

• Improved: UI and prefix structure updated.
