Most product\nlistings give them nothing to work with.<\/p>\n\n<p>Pollen fixes that:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI enrichment<\/strong>: every product gets structured facts, an agent-optimized\ndescription, and search terms, generated by multimodal AI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agent-readiness score<\/strong>: see how understandable your catalog is to\nagents, and exactly what's missing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enriched Schema.org JSON-LD<\/strong>: this plugin prints Pollen's enriched\nproduct schema on your product pages, the data AI crawlers actually parse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>llms.txt<\/strong>: served automatically from your enriched catalog, guiding AI\ncrawlers and advertising your store's agent API.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agent API (MCP)<\/strong>: your catalog becomes directly queryable by AI\nassistants via the Model Context Protocol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI visit analytics<\/strong>: see which AI crawlers visit your store and which\nones fetch your pages to answer real shopper questions, even behind\nfull-page caches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Connecting takes one click: the plugin sends you to your own WordPress admin\nto approve Pollen (WooCommerce's built-in app authorization).

No visitor personal data, cookies, IP addresses, or\nhuman traffic details are ever sent. This reporting can be switched off\nunder Settings -&gt; Pollen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store connection<\/strong>: connecting uses WooCommerce's built-in app\nauthorization screen; the REST API keys WooCommerce issues are delivered\ndirectly to Pollen and are used to read and enrich product data only.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Data is sent only while the plugin is active.
