Algolia has enhanced its generative AI capabilities to provide unmatched search and discovery experiences for both merchants and shoppers, aligning seamlessly with the evolving preferences of today's online consumers.
“Shoppers are becoming more expressive when telling the search bar what they want. Generative AI in search uses Large Language Models and can understand what customers are asking for and then match items inside the product catalog much more accurately. However, to more fully enable e-commerce companies, we are packaging these capabilities into Generative Shopping Experiences to enrich and personalize a shopper’s journey,” said Bharat Guruprakash, Chief Product Officer, Algolia.
Algolia has introduced a new suite of products titled "Generative Shopping Experiences," enabling retailers to create unique and captivating interactions that not only enhance the user experience but also drive revenue.
The product suite introduces a versatile platform that allows retailers to experiment and seamlessly implement novel generative AI use cases. With a robust set of APIs, user experience (UX) libraries, and merchandising tools, retailers can navigate the evolving e-commerce landscape with creativity.
