Connect and Configure Product Catalog for AI Agent
Product catalogs enable your AI agent to recommend and sell products in a relevant, context-aware way during conversations. By connecting a product catalog, your agent can match user questions to suitable products from your database, provide detailed descriptions, and share direct purchase links.
๐ก Note: Flametree uses Baserow โ an online, no-code database platform โ to store and manage your product catalogs. You manage products via the Baserow web interface, and your AI agent automatically retrieves the latest information.
Prerequisitesโ
- A registered Flametree account.
- At least one AI agent created in Flametree.
- (Optional) A Baserow account registered with the same email address used for Flametree.
Setupโ
Step 1. Create a product catalog in Flametreeโ
- Go to AI agents > Products.
- Click Create product catalog +.
- Enter a name for your product catalog.
- Once created, the new catalog and its URL will appear on the screen.
Step 2. Open the catalog in Baserowโ
- Select the catalog URL.
- Log in to Baserow or sign up for a new account.
โ ๏ธ Important: You must use the same email address for Baserow that you use for Flametree. If the emails do not match, you will not be able to access the workspace.
Step 3. Accept the workspace invitationโ
To access the database, you must accept the invitation to the workspace.
- From the Baserow main page: Select Accept on the workspace invitation.

- Log out of Baserow and log back in to refresh the invitation list.
Step 4. Add products to your catalogโ

- Add up to 20 products to the catalog by filling in the required fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

Step 5. Link the catalog to your AI agentโ
