Today I want to share a simple workflow I used to quickly build a realistic demo store for Fabio AI Chatbot.
The goal was straightforward:
π create a store with enough products to properly test an AI chatbot in real conditions
π without manually adding products one by one
Hereβs exactly how I did it.
I used ChatGPT, but any AI will do.
Prompt:
I want a Python script that generates a WooCommerce CSV with 1000 products for a demo store. The products should include kitchen appliances, beauty products, and kids sportswear, organized into categories.
Once the script is generated, just copy it.
No need to tweak anything.
Go to Google Colab:
https://colab.research.google.com/
Click on βNew notebookβ
Paste the script
Click Run
Wait a few seconds.
The CSV file will be created automatically.
On the left sidebar in Colab:
Click the folder icon
Locate your CSV
Download it
In your WordPress dashboard:
Go to Products β Import
Upload the CSV
Let WooCommerce handle the rest
You now have a 1000-product WooCommerce store ready in minutes.
Perfect for:
testing plugins (like AI chatbots π)
building realistic demos
speeding up development

As indie makers, we often waste time on setup instead of testing ideas.
This kind of workflow lets you:
validate faster
demo faster
iterate faster
If youβre building something similar, Iβd love to hear how you generate your test data π
