• AI agent
  ℹ️ Available in the Test environment.
  We’re excited to announce an upcoming chatbot-style AI feature that will let you interact with the PIM using plain, everyday language - no complex query building required. In the first release, you’ll be able to apply product filters simply by typing instructions to the AI agent, such as “Show me all products missing images”.
  
  This feature is designed to make searching and filtering faster, more intuitive, and accessible to all users, regardless of technical expertise. Future updates will expand its capabilities beyond filtering, enabling even more powerful ways to explore and manage your product data.
  
  
  
  
• Shopify connector
  A brand new integration is on its way, making it easy to manage the synchronization of product data from Bluestone PIM to one or more Shopify stores.
