The AI Product Filter lets you shortlist the products in a project by describing what you're looking for in plain language. Instead of setting filters one at a time, type something like "nightstands that are ordered and in the final estimate" and the list narrows to match.
Important: AI features are free while Alcove AI is in beta. Always review the filtered list before acting on it.
Where to find it
The AI Product Filter is the search bar above the product list on two pages in every project: Product Status and Financial Summary.
Open a Project.
Go to the Product Status tab or the Financial Summary page.
Click into the search bar above the list.
Type what you're looking for in plain language. The list filters to show only the matching products.
What you can ask
Describe the products you want to see. You can combine details such as product type, status, and estimate or invoice details in one request. For example:
"items missing tracking"
"products on paid invoices"
"nightstands that are ordered and in the final estimate"
"lighting that hasn't been ordered yet"
"items that are delivered but not invoiced"
Working with the filtered list
Combine with your usual filters. AI filters work alongside the standard filters, so you can narrow results even further.
Take bulk actions. Multi-select the filtered products to change their status, add tags, assign a room, share a custom PDF or export to Excel. See Multi-Select Products for Bulk Actions.
Spot what's missing. Filter for an item type and review what comes back. For example, filter for "nightstands" and check which bedrooms appear in the results. Any bedroom that isn't listed doesn't have one yet.
AI Product Filter or Talk to Your Project?
Use the AI Product Filter to narrow the product list on the page you're working on.
Use Talk to Your Project (the AI Chat icon in the project header) for questions, summaries and reports, like your margin by room or which invoices are overdue. See Talk to Your Project with AI.
Best practices
Be specific: include the product type, status or vendor you care about.
Start broad, then add detail if you see too many results.
Confirm critical details on the product itself before ordering or invoicing.
