How prompts are generated
During onboarding, Citd generates prompts from your topics using AI. They are designed to reflect the kinds of questions shoppers actually ask before they buy. You review prompts before they go live. You can activate good ones, keep some suggested for later, add custom prompts, or move weak prompts out of rotation.Intent types
Every prompt has an intent: what the buyer is trying to accomplish. Intent affects the kind of response you get, which shopping mode the AI uses, and which brands tend to surface.| Intent | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Ready to buy, looking for the best option | ”best trail running shoes to buy right now” |
| Comparison | Evaluating options side by side | ”Salomon vs Hoka trail shoes” |
| Feature-specific | Researching a specific attribute or use case | ”most durable waterproof hiking boots” |
| Brand check | Checking whether a specific brand is trusted or suitable | ”are Merrell hiking boots reliable?” |
| Research | Early-stage exploratory shopping | ”what to look for in trail running shoes” |
Purchase and Comparison intents are highest-stakes. Buyers at these stages are closest to a decision, so AI recommendations directly influence conversions.
