What the paper says

Generative AI is transforming retail pricing decisions by providing an accessible and low-cost alternative to traditional pricing algorithms. Unlike traditional approaches, LLM-based pricing relies on natural language prompts, not custom code and historical data. However, LLM-based pricing introduces challenges around consistency, explainability, and potential biases. Implementation examples demonstrate how to prompt LLMs and use their recommendations to optimize product and service pricing.
