Exclude products from AI recommendations

Last updated on Oct 27, 2025

Tag products in Shopify to prevent the AI agent from recommending or finding them.

Add the commslayer-exclude tag to any product you want to hide from the AI agent's product search and recommendations.

How to exclude a product

  1. Go to your Shopify admin

  2. Open the product you want to exclude

  3. Add the tag commslayer-exclude

  4. Save the product

The AI agent will no longer recommend this product or return it in search results when customers ask about it.

What happens when you exclude a product:

When a product has the commslayer-exclude tag:

  • It won't appear in AI product recommendations

  • The AI won't find it when searching your catalog

  • Customers can still purchase it directly from your store

If customers ask about an excluded product by name, the AI may fetch recommendations from Shopify's recommendation API or suggest similar items instead.
