Generative product content using vision-language models: Transforming e-commerce experiences

Zacharias, Juby Nedumthakidiyil (2025) Generative product content using vision-language models: Transforming e-commerce experiences. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 15 (3). pp. 1130-1137. ISSN 2582-8266

Vision-language models (VLMs) are fundamentally transforming product content creation in e-commerce, representing a paradigm shift in how digital retail platforms manage product information. These sophisticated systems, which leverage dual-encoder architectures and contrastive learning methods, establish meaningful connections between visual attributes and textual descriptions to generate comprehensive product content directly from images. By analyzing product photographs, these models automatically create detailed descriptions, ingredient lists, and usage recommendations with remarkable accuracy and efficiency. Implementation studies demonstrate significant reductions in manual copywriting requirements while improving content quality, search engine visibility, and customer engagement metrics. Despite their transformative potential, these technologies face challenges including hallucination prevention and brand voice alignment, which researchers address through knowledge graph integration, confidence scoring systems, and adaptive fine-tuning mechanisms. Ongoing innovation focuses on inventory-aware content generation and multimodal enhancement through audio, 3D, and video integration. As these technologies mature, they promise to revolutionize how e-commerce platforms create, maintain, and personalize product information while delivering meaningful operational efficiencies and enhanced shopping experiences.
