Artificial intelligence (AI) is the darling of the digital world. The lines are sometimes blurred between AI and machine learning (ML). The key questions are what is genuinely AI and how does it add real value to an ecommerce site?
You need to understand what your shoppers are looking for at each step of the customer journey, as this will help you anticipate and respond to their needs. Doing this manually at scale is practically impossible, which is why many ecommerce businesses have turned to technology to automate this process.
To help provide some insights, we reached out to Attraqt. Attraqt is a market leading AI/ML search, merchandising and personalisation engine. The platform orchestrates shopper moments from awareness to discovery, inspiration to decision making and re-engagement.
