About Constructor
Constructor is a commercial ecommerce search and product discovery platform. It uses AI and real-time shopper behavior to rank search results, browse pages and recommendations, and aims to tie discovery to commerce KPIs such as conversion and revenue rather than only text relevance.
The platform is described as being driven by a central Commerce Reasoning Engine. Products include search and autosuggest, browse, recommendations, collections, quizzes and retail media for sponsored products, plus an AI Shopping Agent and a Product Insights Agent for natural-language help. Offsite tools cover cross-channel campaigns, and merchant tools include a Merchant Intelligence Agent, attribute enrichment using generative AI and merchandiser controls with dashboards and experiments. Constructor is proprietary and vendor-hosted, aimed at online retailers, with industry pages and whitepapers on its site.
