Constructor

Category: Search & Product Discovery

Constructor is an AI-powered search and product discovery platform for enterprise ecommerce. It uses clickstream data, natural language processing, and machine learning to build shopping experiences that optimize for business metrics like conversion and revenue, not just query matching.

Formerly Constructor.io, the platform spans search, browse, recommendations, and collaborative personalization across the product discovery journey. Because its models learn from behavior against the catalog, Constructor performs best where product data is structured and complete.
