I’m a former IBM Watson Customer Engagement engineer and I’ve been building PACTIQ, an AI-first catalog manager powered by our patent-pending CAIT AI engine.

The problem: merchants and vendors managing thousands of SKUs spend weeks wrangling product data — cleaning, validating, uploading — and still end up with errors and inconsistencies.

PACTIQ automates that process: • Uses patent-pending CAIT AI for data cleaning and enrichment • Detects variants and merges duplicates with smart grouping • Provides a Shopify app (approved and live) • Offers a standalone multi-tenant web app for vendors and retailers • Early pilots reduced onboarding time by 50–70%

I’d love feedback from HN on which catalog integrations or workflows would be most useful to add next.
