Product attribute extraction in e-commerce is bottlenecked by ontologies that are inconsistent, incomplete, and costly to maintain. We present AutoPKG, a multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) framework that automatically constructs a Product-attribute Knowledge Graph (PKG) from multimodal product content. AutoPKG induces product types and type-specific attribute keys on demand, extracts attribute values from text and images, and consolidates updates through a centralized decision agent that maintains a globally consistent canonical graph. We also propose an evaluation protocol for dynamic PKGs that measures type/key validity and consolidation quality, as well as edge-level accuracy for value assertions after canonicalization. On a large real-world marketplace catalog dataset from Lazada (Alibaba), AutoPKG achieves up to 0.953 Weighted Knowledge Efficiency (WKE) for product types, 0.724 WKE for attribute keys, and 0.531 edge-level F1 for multimodal value extraction. Across three public benchmarks, we improve edge-level exact-match F1 by 0.152 and yield a 0.208 precision gain on the attribute extraction application. Online A/B tests show that AutoPKG-derived attributes increase Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in Badge (+3.81%), Search (+5.32%), and Recommendation (+7.89%), supporting AutoPKG’s practical value in production.
