Lessons from Building an AI API for Marketplace Taxonomies

Take away real work insights on managing API governance, cost control, and reliability while shipping quickly.

Why this topic matters

Retail teams lose hours every week manually classifying products across different marketplace taxonomies. This means slower launches, inconsistent data, and missed revenue. With today’s AI tools and APIs, this problem can be solved in days, not months. This session shows how to use LLMs and lightweight frameworks to automate categorization at scale, with human guardrails for quality and control.
