The Rewriting Engine

Batch AI rewriting for product catalogues, with prompt controls and safety checks, built end-to-end from template to production.

Problem
Rewriting thousands of product listings with AI risked damaging the whole catalogue.
Outcome
Batch AI rewriting with safety checks and side-by-side review before anything is accepted.

Chapter 1 · The problemThe Thesis

Generative AI at catalogue scale is not a prompt problem. It is a pipeline problem: control, safety, and the ability for a human to see exactly what changed.

Chapter 2 · The client & my roleThe Catalyst

MagicFeedPro optimises product feeds with AI. I developed the application end-to-end, from template to production: APIs and processing pipelines for batch rewriting with prompt controls and safety checks, persistence for product records, and a responsive review-and-compare interface.

Later I returned to deliver QA, security fixes, and server management for the platform.

Chapter 3 · The hard partThe Friction

Rewriting thousands of products at once means a single bad prompt can damage an entire catalogue. Speed is useless without review.

The decision was to make every change inspectable: safety checks in the pipeline, and a compare interface where the original and the rewrite stand side by side before anything is accepted.

“Automation at scale is only safe when every change can be seen.”

Chapter 4 · The resultThe Monument

The platform rewrites in batches while keeping the merchant in control of every product that leaves the system.
