Yes. Each WooCommerce product is one specimen with its own locality, dimensions, and weight in postmeta. SleekAI queries by attributes and returns matches by stock status. Large inventories with 5,000+ unique pieces work the same as small ones, since the bot reads live data instead of memorizing a catalog.

The model already knows mineralogy well. The system instruction reinforces accuracy for your inventory specifically. Calcite, fluorite, beryl varieties, garnet group members, and obscure species like wulfenite all behave correctly. When questions go beyond stock, the bot answers educationally and links to related specimens you have.

Yes. Thumbnail (under 2.5 cm), miniature (2.5 to 5 cm), small cabinet (5 to 10 cm), cabinet (10 to 15 cm), and museum (15 cm+) are conventional size classes. The bot maps the longest dimension on each specimen to the right class and filters when a collector asks for a thumbnail aquamarine or cabinet vanadinite.

Old labels and acquisition history live in postmeta as a notes field. The bot reads them and mentions in replies when a specimen has documented history. A Conklin label, Smithsonian deaccession, or Mineral of the Year award gets quoted, since provenance often drives price more than the rock itself.

Fluorescence is a key attribute for many minerals. Hyalite opal, willemite, scheelite, and certain fluorite localities all glow under shortwave or longwave UV. Map a fluorescence field per specimen and the bot mentions it. Collectors buying for UV displays can ask what glows under shortwave and get matches sorted by intensity.

Yes. Condition matters in mineral collecting. Trimmed matrix, restored crystal tips, and old breaks all affect value. The condition field on each specimen, mapped as a variable, gets surfaced in replies so customers know upfront if a piece has been worked or is pristine in-situ from the mine.

If your shop carries fossils or meteorites alongside minerals, the bot handles them. Trilobite genus, formation, and country, or meteorite classification (chondrite, iron, pallasite) and total known weight get mapped the same way as mineral locality. One bot, one chat, three categories of natural history.

Yes. When a collector asks for something not in stock, the bot logs the request and can offer to email when a match arrives. Pair SleekAI with a simple wantlist plugin and the bot becomes the front door for custom hunts at Tucson, Munich, and Denver shows throughout the year.
