The Magento multi-store bug every AI description generator has — and how we fixed it

A client came to us with 8,000 SKUs across four store views — English, Dutch, German, French. Descriptions were either copied from supplier PDFs or missing entirely. The fix was obviously AI generation. The less obvious problem was that every existing module we evaluated had the same architectural bug.

So we built our own, made it MIT-licensed, and put it on Packagist. This post is about the bug, the fix, and the four-provider abstraction (including a free one) we shipped on top.

The bug nobody talks about

Most Magento 2 AI content modules call this:

$product = $this->productRepository->get($sku, editMode: true);
