The campaign dashboard
Before3,000+products, and a search that missed most of them
01 · The challenge

The catalogue outgrew its search.

Shoppers typed what they wanted in their own words and got nothing useful back. The team hand-picked "you may also like" lists that went stale within a week.

Approach0rebuilds: AI added inside the existing store
02 · What we built

An assistant that knows the shelf.

We indexed the catalogue, reviews and stock, and added an assistant that answers in plain language and recommends from what is actually in stock. Recommendations update themselves from what people browse and buy.

03 · What changed

Shoppers find it, and come back.

Search understands how people describe things, recommendations stay fresh on their own, and the team stopped maintaining lists by hand.
