AI USE CASE
In-product semantic search
Replace keyword search in your product with natural-language understanding.
Data you need
Catalogue or content with structured metadata; query logs help.
Required systems
- ecommerce platform
- data warehouse
Why it works
- Hybrid lexical + semantic ranking
- Re-index nightly with monitoring
How this goes wrong
- Embedding drift after big catalogue changes
- Latency above 500ms kills the UX
When NOT to do this
Skip if your catalogue has under 500 items, keyword search works fine.
