Yes. Tradition is a key product attribute and the bot reads it on every match. Japanese senko is thin, low-smoke, and bamboo-free. Indian masala is thicker, hand-rolled, with bamboo cores and more visible smoke. The bot recommends accordingly, so no one gets the wrong category by mistake at checkout.

If you map burn time as a postmeta field. Shoyeido Daily is roughly 25 minutes per stick, Nippon Kodo coils are about three to four hours, Baieido cones run 15 minutes. The bot quotes the exact value from your data, so customers planning a 90-minute meditation know to grab a coil rather than four sticks.

Resin and powder need different burners. Resin burns on charcoal disks in a censer or thurible. Powder is sprinkled on the same charcoal, or used in koh-doh listening. The bot reads form factor and recommends the right setup, including charcoal disks, tongs, and sand for the bowl. Beginners get a complete starter list.

Yes. Smoke sensitivity is a real concern, and being honest builds trust. Map a smoke-level field per product. The bot recommends low-smoke Japanese sticks for sensitive customers and warns against heavy Tibetan ropes or smudge sticks. It also reminds users to ventilate and never leave incense unattended near pets at home.

Yes. Sticks need a hole-based stand or ash catcher, cones need a small bowl with sand or salt, coils need a hanging burner or wide ash plate, resin needs a charcoal censer. The bot reads form factor on the incense and the accessory range on burners, and only recommends combinations that actually work together cleanly.

Yes. Scent profile (woody, floral, citrus, smoky, sweet, herbal, resinous) is a filter. A customer describing what they want without naming a brand gets matches across traditions. The bot can also note seasonality (heavier resins for winter, lighter florals for spring) if you tag products that way in postmeta.

If your shop sells sampler packs, the bot promotes them to undecided customers. A discovery box across three traditions, or a single-tradition variety pack from one maker, is exactly the answer for someone overwhelmed by choice. The bot reads pack contents from product description or a custom field, and quotes total stick count and price.

Yes. SleekAI display conditions check user role. Logged-in wholesale customers see tier pricing, minimum order quantities, and lead times mentioned in replies. Retail customers see retail pricing. Same bot, different context, with no separate setup beyond the role condition and pricing variables in postmeta.
