What this post added

This post details the development of an AI multi-agent system for evolving Shopify's product taxonomy. The system employs specialized agents for structural analysis and product-driven analysis, which are then intelligently synthesized. A key innovation is the detection of complex equivalence relationships where specific categories equal broader categories filtered by attribute values. Automated quality assurance is performed by specialized AI judges. The system integrates merchant product data for grounding and aims to keep the taxonomy agile and future-proof.
