Yes. Each hide in WooCommerce typically has a square footage attribute and a grade (A, B, utility) stored in postmeta. The bot reads the live value, quotes the actual size, and notes any branding or scarring from the description. Customers know exactly what they are buying before checkout.

It does. Tannage is the most important filter for project advice, since chrome-tan cannot be tooled or veg-tan dyed the same way as oil-tanned. The bot reads tannage on every product and only suggests hides that match what the customer is trying to build, never crossing those lines.

Yes. Stitching chisel spacing is stored as a numeric attribute (3mm, 3.38mm, 3.85mm, 4mm). The bot maps each to a recommended thread thickness (0.45mm, 0.55mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm Ritza Tiger) and confirms colors in stock. Customers no longer order mismatched chisels and thread.

Each dye line (Fiebing's, Angelus, Eco-Flo, Tandy Pro) has its own prep needs. The bot knows which dyes need deglazing, which need a dauber versus a sponge, and which tannages they bond to. It pulls this from category descriptions and product notes, then phrases it as a clear step list.

Always. Hides are sold in ounces and millimeters depending on origin. Tools come in metric SPI and imperial. The bot converts on every reply, so a customer asking for 1.5mm leather sees that as 4-5 oz, and a 3mm chisel shows as roughly 8.5 SPI without forcing the customer to do the math themselves.

Yes. Solid brass, stainless, and nickel buckles each suit different leather and use cases. The bot reads inner width, finish, and style from product attributes, recommends what fits a 38mm or 1.5 inch belt strap, and pulls live stock so customers do not order backordered hardware by accident.

It will. If Hermann Oak shoulders are sold out, the bot offers Wickett & Craig or Sedgwick English bridle as the closest match based on weight, finish, and intended use. The substitution is grounded in your actual inventory, not an external recommendation that links somewhere else.

Wholesale customers logged in with a B2B role see tiered pricing automatically. The bot reads the user role via SleekAI display conditions and switches quoted prices to your wholesale tier. Anonymous shoppers see retail. Bulk discount thresholds get mentioned in replies once the cart hits the right size.
