Impulse Range Selector: what this AI agent does and how to use it

What it does

The Impulse Range Selector agent is the specialist for this job: selects counter and checkout impulse lines per store from footfall, mission and margin.

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:

• "Pick the till-point impulse range for Union Metro"
• "What impulse lines work best at forecourts?"
• "Which snacks should go next to the coffee machine at DIFC Gate?"

The live demo shows these as sample prompts in your language, on a fictional store's data.

How it works

1. It understands the question in the language it was written in, even when your catalog is in another language.
2. It looks things up with tools, never from memory:

• Cluster_sales
• Read-only sql over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace)

3. It answers from your data, in your brand voice and currency, and shows which tools it used.
4. 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.

Works well with

• Category Strategy Writer: Drafts a category's role, strategy and targets from its sales, mix and pricing.
• Buy Depth Recommender: Recommends buy depth per option from how similar past styles sold.
• Private Label Opportunity Finder: Finds categories where an own-brand product could win on price and demand, from brand share and pricing.

Your team can use them side by side in the console, or call each one through the API.

Turn it on

1. Load the data it needs.
2. Install Impulse Range Selector from the Agent catalog and add your own instructions (guide).
3. Test it in the Playground, in every language you serve.
4. Invite your team or call it from your own systems.
