Hi James @jamesc91
Thank you so much for bringing this up! It’s an exciting area of development, and I agree that there’s a significant opportunity to enhance e-commerce search and product recommendations with AI. In fact, our plugin includes a module called SearchGPT that uses Embeddings to deliver more relevant search results. However, it’s currently in a relatively basic form.
I am always looking to improve and expand my plugin. Could you please provide some examples of what you’re envisioning, or perhaps mention a few example plugins that have implemented it in the way you’re suggesting? Understanding specific examples could help me better grasp how to improve the current SearchGPT module.
Additionally, I’m curious about your thoughts on how an advanced AI-powered search feature should work within an e-commerce setting? What key functionalities do you think it should have to stand out from the current market offerings?
Thanks again for your suggestion, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about your ideas!
im also in search of building a research paper and user recommendation system.
Hi Senol,
Apologies I did not get a notification of your reply.
Thanks again for taking the time to come back to me.
From an ecom point there is two main areas –
1.Site Search – A popular one is Fibo but one that could use our data from Pinecone or similar would be good.

2.Recommendations – Similar product carousels, related products, you may also like etc: I think this is where the biggest gap is because there is just really poor offerings on the market for woo commerce just now. To get the best results something that is trained with the images and the data as when you use the images, the results are better. Something that would update as the customer shops and moves around the website and would update real time. There is a few options like the below but just nothing that works very well or is actually trained from a anthropic or open ai model.

Both of the above could be merchandised in a way that X Attribute is pushed to the top of search results etc for example.
I believe Amazon uses Anthropic models for a lot of their carousels / recommendations but there is nobody yet who has brought this to market for Woo Commerce sites or made it accessible to small-medium sized ecom stores.
Cheers
James
