Example Scenario

Processing a Single Product

Imagine you have a product with a 3-page spec sheet PDF, a 1-page catalog PDF, and a manufacturer URL. Here's how AI PIM processes it and what the billing looks like:

  1. Resource Extraction — AI PIM reads each of your files and URLs, extracting key product information. Each file or URL is processed individually.
  2. PIM Generation — Once all resources are extracted, AI PIM combines everything and generates your product recommendations in a single step.
Step Resource Est. APU
Extract Spec sheet PDF (3 pages) 8
Extract Catalog PDF (1 page) 3
Extract Manufacturer URL 5
Generate PIM Recommendations 10
Total 26 APU

At $0.05 per APU, this product would cost approximately $1.30 to process.

Note: Actual APU usage varies based on file size, content density, and the complexity of the generated output.

How It Works

AI PIM processes your products in two steps, each of which uses APUs:

Step 1: Resource Extraction

AI PIM reads your uploaded files and URLs, using AI to extract key product information from each one. Every file and URL is processed individually — a product with 5 files will result in 5 separate extraction operations.

Step 2: PIM Generation

Once all resources have been extracted, AI PIM combines the extracted data with your existing product information and generates structured product recommendations. This is a single operation per product, regardless of how many files were extracted.

APU Estimates by Resource Type

APU usage depends on the size and complexity of each resource. Below are approximate ranges for typical usage:

Resource Type Estimated APU
Small PDF (1–2 pages) 2 – 5
Medium PDF (3–5 pages) 5 – 15
Large PDF (10+ pages) 15 – 50
Product Image 2 – 3
URL Scrape 2 – 10
PIM Generation (Step 2) 5 – 15

Batch Cost Examples

Here are estimated costs for processing products in bulk, assuming an average of 2–3 files per product:

Scenario Est. APU Est. Cost
Single product (2 PDFs + 1 URL) 26 $1.30
Small batch (10 products, 2 files each) 200 $10.00
Medium batch (50 products, 3 files each) 1,250 $62.50
Large batch (100 products, 3 files each) 2,500 $125.00

Tips for Managing Costs

  • Use smaller, focused files — A 2-page product spec sheet uses far fewer APUs than a 50-page catalog. Split large documents into per-product files when possible.
  • Keep URL lists focused — Each URL in a urls.txt file is processed separately. Stick to the 2–3 most relevant URLs per product.
  • Review before generating — Run Resource Extraction first to review the extracted data, then trigger PIM Generation once you're satisfied with the results.
  • Disable automation during bulk imports — If you're importing files for many products at once, consider disabling automated processing jobs first, then process manually or re-enable after review.
