AI summary

Systems and methods for product description augmentation are provided. According to one aspect, a method for product augmentation includes performing, by an attribute inference component, a semantic analysis of a product review for a product to obtain review data including an attribute of the product; computing, by a delta component, a difference between the review data and a product description for the product, wherein the difference includes the attribute; and generating, by a generative machine learning model, an augmented product description for the product based on the difference, wherein the augmented product description describes the attribute.
