The safest and fastest way to write animal listing descriptions is to give the AI facts, have it create a draft, then verify and edit it yourself. This article outlines how BreederDirect's listing AI generation feature works, what information to provide the AI, what you must verify after generation, and expressions to avoid.

BreederDirect Editorial
The BreederDirect editorial team specializes in care information for animals, covering veterinary care and breeding to deliver beginner-friendly guides.
All the AI can create is a draft that turns your inputted facts into readable text. The seller is responsible for inputting and verifying facts themselves—such as the individual animal's health, pedigree, and guarantee conditions.
On BreederDirect's listing screen, register photos and press "AI Generate." The AI creates a description draft based on the title, category (subcategory), sex, date of birth, and information you've already entered. It can also suggest multiple title options.
After generation, verify factual accuracy, absolute claims, and legally required information (such as notice of in-person inspection) yourself before publishing.
Delete expressions like "definitely," "absolutely," "guaranteed," or "lowest price"—even if the AI generates them.
What BreederDirect's AI Generation Feature Can Do
Register photos in the listing form, enter the title, category (subcategory), sex, and date of birth, and include information such as rearing conditions and parent animals in the free-text field. Press "AI Generate" and the AI creates a draft description that reflects your inputs. The design naturally incorporates your facts into the text rather than simply listing items like "Breed: ~ / Coat Color: ~". The AI can also suggest multiple title options around 40 characters based on your inputs. There is a limit to the number of generations, and during busy times you may need to wait a moment.
Information to Give the AI (Without It, Fields Won't Be Filled)
The AI must not create facts that aren't inputted, so if you provide little information, the text will contain much generic content. Enter the following as bullet points in the free-text field.
Species, breed, morph, sex, date of birth (or hatch date / acquisition date), and CB / WC / captive-bred designation
Parent animal information (body size, temperament, pedigree, genetic test results)
Current size and weight, feeding content and frequency, last feeding date
Rearing environment (temperature, humidity, water quality, lighting)
Health status, presence of vaccines, microchip, and health checkups (dogs and cats)
Guarantee conditions (health guarantee and DOA guarantee period and response)
Delivery method (in-person or shipping); if your category requires in-person inspection scheduling, note that
Photo capture date
4 Points to Always Verify After Generation
Factual Errors: Check whether dates, sizes, sex, and morph names match your inputs. While the AI is designed not to output numbers not in the inputs, the seller must do the final verification.
Absolute Claims and Exaggeration: Delete statements like "hardy and disease-free," "highest quality," or "absolutely." Write health and temperament as "current condition."
Legally Required Information: For dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals, keep the statement "In-person inspection and explanation of the animal will be conducted before delivery." Correct any language that reads as if purchase is possible from photos alone.
Transaction Terms: Verify that price, guarantee, delivery method, and payment method (direct between parties) are consistent between the description and form inputs.
Expressions to Never Use
"Definitely," "absolutely," "100%," or "guaranteed" (except those explicitly stated as guarantee conditions)
Unsupported comparisons such as "largest in Japan," "No. 1," or "lowest price"
Using photos or text from other animals or other shops
Expressions that invite price negotiation, such as "discount for immediate purchase" (price negotiation is prohibited on BreederDirect)
Contact information that directs users outside the messaging feature, such as LINE or phone numbers
Format for a Good Listing Description (Guidelines for Refining AI Output)
A brief description of the animal's characteristics (species, morph, sex, date of birth)
Current condition (size, feeding behavior, temperament, health status)
Parent animal and rearing environment
Guarantee, delivery, and payment conditions (include notice of in-person inspection if your category requires it)
Requests for the buyer (preparation of rearing environment, information you want to know at inquiry time)
400–800 characters is the length most likely to be read. Let photos show what photos can show; use text for facts that photos cannot convey (feeding, health, parents, conditions).
Responsibility for AI-Generated Text
Even if you publish the AI draft as-is, you are responsible for the content. The Animal Protection and Management Act's display obligations, the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations (prohibiting exaggerated claims), and BreederDirect's terms of service all apply to the seller. Use AI as a tool for organizing facts, and always input the facts and do the final verification yourself.
