## About

## What it does
Product Category Generator takes a product name and supporting parameters, then returns a job you can poll until category suggestions are ready. Send the `content` field with the product name and its parameters, and optionally include `context` for other categories to consider, `language`, `voice_tone`, and `max_quantity`.

Use it when you need to organise a catalog, map new SKUs into a taxonomy, or draft category suggestions for onboarding workflows. The initial response includes a `job_id` and a `status_url`, so you can track the asynchronous request without blocking your app.

When the job completes, the status endpoint returns the current `status` as `running`, `queued`, `failed`, or `success`. On success, the result is an array of category objects with `name` and `weight`, which lets you rank or filter the suggested categories in your own system.

Product Category Generator is a fit for e-commerce tooling, content classification, and catalog operations where you need machine-generated category candidates from product input.
