NVIDIA reveals blueprint for retail AI workflows

NVIDIA has released two open-source developer blueprints designed to add AI across the retail pipeline, covering warehouse operations and product catalog enrichment.

The company, in an announcement, said the Multi-Agent Intelligent Warehouse (MAIW) and Retail Catalog Enrichment blueprints are developer references that let teams customize AI solutions across the retail value chain, from backend systems to customer-facing content.

The MAIW blueprint layers an AI orchestration layer above warehouse management systems, enterprise resource planning, robotics and IoT to provide real-time, explainable operational intelligence, the company said.

It includes specialized agents for equipment asset operations, operations coordination, safety compliance, forecasting and document processing, and offers role-based access control and policy guardrails.

“Building with these blueprints will reduce the cost of integration and help our customers and partners enable applications fast,” said Tarik Hammadou, director of developer relations for AI for retail and consumer packaged goods at NVIDIA.

The Retail Catalog Enrichment blueprint uses generative AI and NVIDIA Nemotron vision language models to generate structured, localized and brand-aligned product metadata, titles, descriptions, searchable attributes and marketing assets from images, the company said.

An internal AI “judge” checks outputs for quality and consistency.

“The quality of the search and the quality of the browsing experience for customers directly depends on the quality of the catalog data,” said Ilya Katsov, chief technology officer of Grid Dynamics.

“Our solution makes product catalogs more discoverable while giving brands the ability to enforce their business rules at scale,” said Dan Guja, principal software engineer at Grid Dynamics.

The company said the blueprints will be showcased next week at the National Retail Federation: Retail’s Big Show and that further technical details are available on the NVIDIA Technical Blog.
