Approach 4: Rules Agent in Natural Language

Use the Rules Agent on the Manage Rules screen to create rules using natural-language descriptions. The Rules Agent supports promotion, markdown, and regular-pricing rules. It interprets the specified business intent, validates the request against supported rule types and available business data, and generates a rule that can be reviewed, modified, and saved through the standard rule-creation workflow.

To use the Rules Agent, click Rules Agent. A panel opens on the right side of the screen, where you can upload a text file containing natural-language rule descriptions.
