Product discovery / search

In one line

AI-driven search, filtering, and recommendations that guide shoppers to relevant products.

Search and discovery (e.g., Algolia) directly drive conversion — weak native search loses revenue. Algolia was named a Leader in the inaugural 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Search and Product Discovery. In composable stacks, search is a swappable PBC and a common quick-win expansion play.

Interview phrase

"Search is the highest-leverage conversion lever most enterprises under-invest in."
