WooCommerce + OpenAI is the most-requested combo we see. This playbook covers the four workflow shapes teams actually ship with them.
Classify
Every new WooCommerce record → LLM classifier → tag write-back. Cheap, fast, transformative.
Draft
LLM drafts a next action; human approves; workflow writes back to WooCommerce. Keeps humans in the loop.
Enrich
LLM extracts structured fields from unstructured WooCommerce notes. Populate CRM fields you never had time to fill.
Summarize
Nightly summary of WooCommerce activity, delivered to Slack. Ops leaders start their day informed.
