What it is

Conversational product discovery, built into your store

AI product search lets shoppers ask for what they want in their own words – or with a photo – instead of guessing the right keyword. AskSpot reads your product feed, searches your whole catalog, compares the options and recommends the right product inside the chat – the way your best salesperson would, in 200+ languages.

Step 01

Understands the need

Reads the question – budget, use case, size, compatibility – not just matching words.

Step 02

Searches the feed

Scans your own catalog and compares matching products and variants.

Step 03

Recommends the right one

Surfaces the best fit as a product card the shopper can compare and add to the cart.

01 · Natural language

Search by meaning, not keywords

Shoppers ask the way they’d ask a person – “a quiet washing machine for a small kitchen”, “which switch is PoE+ compatible?” – and the Agent matches products to the need, compares variants and answers technical questions.

  • Understands intent, budget and use case – not just matching text
  • Compares variants and explains the difference between similar products
  • Suggests accessories that go with the product a shopper is viewing

02 · Search by photo

Snap a photo, find the product

A shopper attaches a photo in the chat and the Agent finds matching or look-alike products in your catalog – for the many searches that are impossible to put into words. The Agent even offers it.

  • Turns “I want something like this” into real results from your feed
  • Recovers searches that keyword search would return empty
  • Available to every shopper, on every page

03 · Rich product cards

Browse, compare and buy inside the chat

Results come back as a swipeable carousel of product cards – image, star rating, price and key specs – so the shopper never has to leave the conversation to decide.

  • Rating, review count, price and key specs on every card
  • Show similar and add to cart without leaving the chat
  • A category link to keep browsing on the site when they want to

04 · Your selling rules

Advises the way you want it to

Add short rules for how the Agent should advise and which products to prioritise – so search doesn’t just answer, it sells the way your team would.

  • Sales-conversation guidance in plain language
  • Product-recommendation rules to prioritise margin, stock or own brands
  • Connects to your feed – Google Merchant, Ceneo, IdoSell or a custom source

Why it matters

Turns “help me choose” into a completed sale

Most storefront search punishes the shopper for not knowing the right word. Conversational search meets them where they are – so the customer who would have bounced finds the product and buys. In our stores, up to 21% of chats end in a purchase.

FAQ

AI product search – questions answered

What is AI product search?

AI product search lets shoppers describe what they need in natural language – or attach a photo – and returns the right products from your catalog. Instead of matching keywords, it understands the intent behind the question, compares options and recommends a fit, all inside the chat.

How is it different from my store’s search bar?

A keyword search bar returns empty when the shopper doesn’t use your exact wording. AI product search reads meaning – budget, use case, size, compatibility – asks a follow-up when it needs to, and recommends rather than just listing. It’s the difference between a search box and a salesperson.

Can customers search with a photo?

Yes. A shopper attaches a photo in the chat and the Agent finds matching or look-alike products in your catalog – ideal for anything that’s hard to put into words. It’s available to every shopper, and the Agent offers it proactively.

How does it connect to my product catalog?

Through your product feed. AskSpot supports Google Merchant Center (XML), Ceneo (XML) and IdoSell / IAI out of the box, plus a custom integration for any other source, so search always reflects your current range.

Can I control which products it recommends?

Yes. You add sales-conversation guidance and product-recommendation rules in plain language – to prioritise higher-margin lines, in-stock items or your own brands – so search advises the way your team would. The Help center in the panel can add or change these rules for you from one sentence.

Which products does AI product search work with?

It’s part of the AI Chat Agent and works on every e-commerce platform the Chat Agent supports – Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, IdoSell, Shoper, AtomStore, RedCart and more – in 200+ languages, with no per-platform setup.
