AI Search in SOTESHOP. Revolutionary solution and a new level of artificial intelligence utilization in online stores.

19/02/2025

Did you know that on average, 50% of queries in online stores result in no matches, even though the sought-after products are available? Customers often enter product names in various ways, making traditional search engines struggle to find the right offers. At SOTESHOP, we solved this problem with modern AI search technology that understands the meaning of queries and intelligently matches products to user needs. This breakthrough solution significantly increases search effectiveness and improves conversion rates in online stores.

How does AI Search work in SOTESHOP?

Traditional search engines in online stores operate by matching keywords. If a customer enters a product name differently or makes a typo, the system may not return the correct results. AI Search in SOTESHOP works entirely differently – it analyzes the meaning of the query, not just the exact words entered. As a result:

  • It finds products even when there is a typo or a different name form in the query.
  • It matches results to context – recognizing category, product features, and usage.
  • It searches for products based on their actual properties, even if the exact phrase is not in the description.
  • Users no longer need to repeatedly change queries to find what they are looking for.

How to activate AI Search in the store?

To activate AI Search, the store must have the SOTE AI PRO service. This is because all searches are processed on SOTE’s specialized AI servers, requiring the analysis of vast amounts of data. With SOTE AI PRO, you get much more than just search functionality.

If you already have SOTE AI PRO, the new feature will appear in the panel after updating the store. If you do not yet have this service – Order SOTE AI PRO.

Note!
If the store already has SOTE AI PRO, re-exporting AI data is required for AI Search to function correctly.

AI Search uses SOTE AI credits. One search = 1 credit.

AI Search Examples

The store has a few products, so we suggest sample searches for testing. The comparison table shows whether the system found products for standard search versus AI search.

Search Phrase Standard Search AI Search
Speaker Yes Yes
Wireless Speaker No Yes
Running Headphones No Yes
First Communion Headphones No Yes
Speaker with Good Sound No Yes
Find Cool Running Headphones No Yes

Of course, if a store has a large inventory, more queries will yield accurate results based on the store’s industry.

Benefits for Online Stores

Introducing AI Search to SOTESHOP provides online store owners with several benefits, translating into higher sales and better customer service quality.

  1. AI Search significantly reduces the number of empty search results, meaning customers find what they are looking for faster. This leads to increased sales and fewer abandoned carts.
  2. Better SEO and greater customer engagement. More effective search keeps users on the site longer, encourages them to browse more products, and increases return visits. This positively impacts SEO, improving store visibility in Google search results.
  3. More repeat purchases. When customers can easily find what they need, they are more likely to return for future purchases, building loyalty and increasing customer retention.
  4. Integration with Chat AI. AI Search is also available in Chat AI.

Product Search in Chat AI

The AI Search function is integrated with Chat AI, meaning customers can search for products in real-time while interacting with the AI assistant. This introduces a new level of customer service, combining search with interactive assistance.

Innovative Technology and Cost Minimization

The new AI Search in SOTESHOP is based on the latest OpenAI solutions, making it highly precise and intelligent. At the same time, it has been optimized to minimize the costs associated with AI usage. This allows even small online stores to benefit from this revolutionary technology without significant financial investments.

Summary

AI Search in SOTESHOP is a breakthrough solution that changes how customers find products in online stores. Thanks to intelligent result matching, better query analysis, and Chat AI integration, search effectiveness improves, and conversion and repeat purchases significantly increase. This modern, cost-effective, and efficient solution sets SOTE apart from the competition. If you want to boost sales and enhance customer experience, AI Search in SOTESHOP is the perfect choice.
