AI methodology

How Sellrith uses AI in the product, how it's evaluated, and what we tell customers about its limits. This page is updated whenever our model stack or evaluation criteria change materially.

Where AI is used in Sellrith

Product research: ranking trending products against the Winning Score framework. AI weighs the inputs; the inputs themselves are deterministic marketplace and search signals.

Listing generation: titles, descriptions, bullets, alt text, and ad scripts. Each marketplace has a separately fine-tuned model that learned from millions of high-performing listings on that channel.

Pricing recommendations: AI suggests price points based on competitor monitoring; final decisions stay within the operator-set guardrails.

Where AI is NOT used

Order routing, inventory sync, fulfillment, and payment processing are deterministic code, not AI. We don't use language models to make decisions about money or stock.

Models and training

We use a mix of fine-tuned open-source models (Llama 3.1, Qwen 2.5) and commercial APIs (OpenAI GPT-4 class, Anthropic Claude 3.5). Listing models are fine-tuned on 14M Amazon listings, 8M Shopify product pages, and 4M Etsy listings — all licensed or publicly accessible data.

Customer catalog data is never used to train models that other customers use. Each customer's tone-of-voice fine-tune is private to their workspace.

Evaluation

Every model change is evaluated against a held-out test set of 1,200 real listings before release. Metrics: keyword coverage, readability, conversion lift (measured via opt-in A/B testing with consenting customers), and hallucination rate.

A model only ships if it beats the current production version on at least three of four metrics with no regression on the fourth.

Limits we disclose to customers

AI-generated copy can occasionally hallucinate product specs that don't exist. Every listing should be reviewed before publishing. Sellrith's UI stages every generation in a diff view to make this review fast.

Pricing suggestions are not financial advice. Operators are responsible for the final price and margin decisions.
