Images and ALT text

How WooMate AI looks at product images and writes ALT text for them.

WooMate AI looks at your product images and suggests ALT text based on what it sees. You save it after approving.

What you need

  • For product image ALT text, a store connection with Full access is enough. Saving goes through WooCommerce, so no WordPress login is needed.
  • For other files in the WordPress media library (such as images in posts) and for changing a file's title, caption or description, you need a WordPress application password. See WordPress in the chat.

Steps

  1. Click the Image ALT ready-made task or type, for example, "Fill in the image ALT text for product X".
  2. The chat reads the product and looks at its images, up to 6 at a time. You don't need to describe them.
  3. It prepares a separate card with new ALT text for each image.
  4. Review the suggestions and approve the cards.

You can approve several images of one product one after another. Saving one ALT text doesn't change the ALT text of the other images in the gallery. You can undo a saved product image ALT text with the Undo button.

The Image ALT ready-made task asks for no more than 10 images per conversation. For hundreds of products, the image ALT texts tool in Studio is more convenient: it lists products with missing ALT text and prepares it in batches.

Limitations

  • The AI shouldn't guess features it can't see. Still, check the descriptions, especially product specifications.
  • If an image couldn't be downloaded from the store, the chat reports it as an error and doesn't describe it.
  • Creating graphics is a job for Studio, not the chat.

Common problems

  • The chat asks for an application password. This applies to files outside the product gallery. Add it in the store settings, under Connections → Publishing to WordPress. For product image ALT text, ask the chat to save it through the product.
  • "The data changed since the preview". Someone changed the product after the card was prepared. Reject the card and ask for a new one.
