How to write product facts that AI can quote

Write each fact a buyer asks about as one plain sentence with its unit, the variant it applies to, and its limit. Say what the product does not include or do. A model reproduces sentences; it guesses from icons, tabs and adjectives.

Five rules

  1. One fact, one sentence. "The 45-litre version holds a 15-inch laptop in

a separate sleeve." Not a list of adjectives.

  1. Units always. "45 litres", not "45". "Weighs 1.2 kg", not "lightweight".
  2. The variant it applies to. Facts that differ between variants are stated

per variant.

  1. The limit. "Fits carry-on limits on most European airlines; not the

40 × 20 × 25 cm limit of some low-cost carriers."

  1. What it does not do. "Does not include the rain cover." A missing

boundary is filled with a guess.

Where to put them

In the HTML the server sends, near the product name — not only in tabs built by scripts, and not only in images. Check with a fetch without JavaScript: /learn/how-to-make-product-facts-readable-without-javascript.

Why sentences

In answers about real products, 44% of citations went to press, review and reference pages (study). Those pages usually state facts in sentences. A product page that does the same gives a model a primary source for the same fact. What that does and does not prove is at /evidence.
