AI Product Discovery Platform
Built with Vibe Coding
Tech StackTechnology We Used
Project Overview
A USA online retailer ran product search on keyword matching across a large catalog, so shoppers often missed relevant items when queries did not match exact product titles. Static recommendation widgets ignored browsing intent, merchandising teams lacked search trend data, and traditional development slowed new discovery features. Starling Elevate scoped an AI Product Discovery Platform built with Vibe Coding to understand shopper intent and personalize catalog exploration.
The five-month project used Next.js for the storefront experience, Pinecone for vector storage, and Claude Sonnet for intent recognition and shopping guidance. Work covered catalog knowledge mapping, intent recognition, Semantic Search, personalized discovery, AI shopping assistance, and Commerce Intelligence dashboards.
Merchandising leaders, product managers, and E-commerce operations teams needed discovery that scaled with catalog growth without replacing the existing product information system. The scope included Vector Embeddings, AI Product Recommendations, product relationship mapping, conversational shopping help, and reporting on search trends, demand signals, and discovery performance.
The team structured delivery around catalog audit and embedding design, followed by Vibe Coding sprints, search and recommendation integration, A/B pilot on high-traffic categories, and tuning from click-through and conversion metrics.
Business ChallengesWhy E-commerce Businesses Needed an AI Product Discovery Platform
As online stores expanded, helping customers quickly discover relevant products became increasingly difficult. Retailers needed a smarter discovery experience that could understand shopping intent, personalize recommendations, and simplify product exploration without relying on traditional keyword search.
Product search struggled to understand customer intent, resulting in less relevant search results.
Large product catalogs made it difficult for customers to quickly discover relevant products across multiple categories.
Static product recommendations failed to adapt to customer preferences, browsing behavior, and real-time shopping intent.
Limited product relationships reduced cross-selling, upselling, and intelligent product discovery across the shopping journey.
Merchandising teams lacked actionable insights into customer search behavior, product demand, and discovery performance.
Traditional development slowed AI-powered product discovery innovation.
