How you going to get a program to add products to a site, download images, upload them and configure attributes?

Write me a program bro you have no idea how much money we will make.
That's almost all very automatable (web scrapers are simple tech). The tricky part is that different vendors have different websites. For just grabbing whatever images there's ways to work around that, but to get the "attributes" (data about those products I assume?) ... that would be nearly impossible to do, in an automated way, for hundreds of sites.

I'm not saying it couldn't be done (with AI or without), but it likely wouldn't be worth the cost compared to just paying humans.

For something like that I think the smart thing to do would be to automate as much of the process as you possibly can, but then yeah ultimately you have to pay some warm bodies to go onto each site and somehow mark (in your automation tool) that "the information we want is kept here on this site".
