By default, the Product Exclusion is set to **AI mode**. Smart algorithms learn about your products and advertise the products that are more likely to grab attention. **AI Product Exclusion mode leads to ad performance optimization.**

However, you can **choose products manually by switching to Manual mode**. You can do this by excluding the products you don't wish to advertise.&#x20;

> Kindly note that switching to Manual Mode may not result in optimum ad performance. Keep Product Exclusion to AI mode for best results.&#x20;

To manually exclude the products you don't want to advertise,&#x20;

1. Switch to Manual Mode from the toggle button at the top right.
