The problem it solves

Hunting down a decent photo for every product on your list means dozens of manual searches and downloads. Keeping the images consistent in size and format across your whole catalog takes even more time.

Who it fits

Retailers, renovators, or catalog managers who need product images gathered quickly and consistently.

How it works

  1. The process starts with your list of product names and details in Google Sheets
  2. A search query is built for each product
  3. The system searches for a matching product image
  4. The image is saved into a designated Google Drive folder
What you get

Product photos ready for your team to confirm

Every product in your spreadsheet gets a matching image pulled in and saved to Drive, ready for your team to use.

What you get

A Google Drive folder filled with one matching image per product on your list.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Google Drive account, and a SerpApi account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
