Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Style Finder tool
Use style-finder with find_by_url to identify the product in this image URL: [URL]. Return typed JSON with product_type, style_keywords, colour, and purchase_sources including source_name, price, currency, buy_url, and in_stock.
Tips
- Store style_keywords from the identification so users can run follow-up text searches with those terms
- Include in_stock as a boolean so your app can surface available options prominently
- Add a fallback to text search when image identification confidence is low
