# AI product feed

Category: [Agents & Protocols](https://seo-geo-glossary.com/en/glossary/category/agents-protocols/) › [Agentic commerce](https://seo-geo-glossary.com/en/glossary/category/agents-protocols/agentic-commerce/) · Also known as: ChatGPT product feed, product feed for AI agents

An **AI product feed** is a file that provides a shop's product data in a defined format so that AI assistants can find, compare and display products with current prices. The best-documented example is OpenAI's product feed specification for ChatGPT.

## What does the feed contain?

OpenAI's specification names nine fields for every product: `item_id`, `title`, `description`, `url`, `brand`, `seller_name`, `image_url`, `availability` and `price`. Price is written as an amount, a space and a three-letter ISO 4217 currency code, for example `79.99 USD`. Availability takes values such as `in_stock` or `out_of_stock`. Feeds are delivered by SFTP in UTF-8. The documentation prefers Parquet and also supports compressed JSONL, CSV and TSV files. It recommends full snapshots at least daily. Variants are submitted as separate rows that share a `group_id`. The documentation asks merchants to update the feed when a sale starts or ends and to keep stock status current.

## Example

```json
{"item_id":"SKU-1042","title":"Trail Shoe Alpine","description":"Waterproof trail running shoe","url":"https://example.com/trail-shoe-alpine","brand":"Example Brand","seller_name":"Example Shop","image_url":"https://example.com/img/1042.jpg","availability":"in_stock","price":"129.00 EUR"}
```

## Common mistakes

- Product or image URLs in the feed that are not publicly reachable.
- Missing required fields, outdated or non-spec field names, and malformed values, which the documentation lists as common ingestion failures.
