What it does
Merchandisers need numbers before opinions. These agents read your catalog and sales, explain what is and isn't working, and suggest actions. The Cluster Planogram Planner agent is the specialist for this job: creates planograms per convenience store cluster, such as office, residential or forecourt, from mission data.
Who it's for
Your team. It runs in the console for your staff and through the REST API. It is a team agent, so it is never exposed to shoppers.
Questions it answers
Ask it in any of our languages, for example:
- "Plan the planogram for our office cluster stores"
- "How should forecourt shops differ from residential ones?"
- "Which categories deserve more space at transit stores?"
The live demo shows these as sample prompts in your language, on a fictional store's data.
How it works
- It understands the question in the language it was written in, even when your catalog is in another language.
- It looks things up with tools, never from memory:
- Cluster_sales
- Sales_by_hour
- It answers from your data, in your brand voice and currency, and shows which tools it used.
- Rules stay in code. Prices, eligibility and permissions come from your data and settings; the agent explains them and can't invent them. Why this matters.
The data it needs
Stores, Orders, Order lines, Products. As soon as these tables are loaded, the agent is ready to switch on. Files can use your own column names: they're mapped automatically. See Connect your data.

- Product Copywriter: Writes SEO-friendly titles, descriptions and bullet highlights from product data.
- Range Review Prep: Prepares a category range review: mix, sales, winners, losers and what to add or cut.
Your team can use them side by side in the console, or call each one through the API.
