Revolutionizing E-Commerce: Embrace AI-Driven Customer Discovery Now
commerce has entered a new era—AI-driven discovery.
Users no longer start their journey solely on Google Search or through your ad campaigns. They begin by asking a question on ChatGPT or Perplexity.
Sometimes it’s as simple as: “I don’t know what this thing is under the sink.” And before you know it, they’re on Amazon buying it.
Here’s why that’s a serious risk for your online shop if you don't design for such a growing trend:
+ Your product might be a perfect match, but go unseen.
+ The traffic you used to track becomes invisible—because it’s routed elsewhere (you'd only see ChatGPT as referral source)
+ You lose not just a sale, but a relationship. Relationship means returning purchases and referral!
A necessary step to take right now? Let users engage with your store the way they do with LLMs: natural language, unstructured queries, zero friction.
Traditional filters and search bars are helpful only if users know what they want. But what about the rest who don’t?
That’s where AI Mode comes in.
Think of AI Mode as a new kind of filter—one that works even when the user doesn’t know what they want yet.
It brings serendipity. Boosts engagement. And it could unlock net-new revenue streams. And crucially, it gives you a chance to keep owning the customer journey.
Ignore this, and you’ll find that even your current customers start using the likes of ChatGPT and come to your website less than before!,
Entering The New Era: AI-Driven E-Commerce Discovery
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, customer journeys have shifted from traditional modes to the AI-driven discovery method. Your regular e-commerce customers no longer start their journey through search engines or your ad campaigns. Instead, they engage in AI-based platforms like ChatGPT or Perplexity, posing natural language queries to get what they need. Keeping pace with this growing trend is crucial for businesses in the highly competitive online market. If you're still stuck in traditional marketing tools while your customers are comfortably engaging with Language Learning Models (LLMs) and AI, it's time for a wake-up call!
The Risks of Ignoring AI-Driven Customer Discovery
Hidden Products, Hidden Potential
Your products might be an ideal fit for a customer, but if you're not showcasing them where your customers are, they might remain unacknowledged. Remember, what's not seen is not sold. Hiding in the traditional channels could make your product offerings miss out on significant opportunities.
- Increased product visibility by leveraging AI-driven discovery platforms.
- Improved customer engagement through personalized recommendations.
Invisible Traffic, Lost Insights
The traffic data that you rely on for strategic planning can become almost invisible if your customers’ journeys start somewhere outside your control. For instance, traffic coming from AI-driven platforms such as ChatGPT is hard to monitor. You might only recognize the referral source, missing out on the whole journey of user engagement and experience.
A Sale Lost is a Relationship Missed
When you lose a potential sale due to a lack of AI-driven customer engagement, you actually lose much more. Relationships with customers indicate repeat purchases, referrals, and growing customer trust. A lost sale essentially means a possible long-term relationship down the drain.

Meeting Customers Where They Are: Unstructured Queries
Sure, traditional filters and search bars serve their purpose when users know what they want. However, a lot of potential customers are still figuring out their needs and preferences. Engaging with them requires a different approach – one where the user's queries, however unstructured, drive the discovery process.
Welcome Serendipity: Boost Engagement with AI Mode
Introducing AI Mode could become the game-changer for your e-commerce platform. Think of it as a new kind of filter—one that works even when the user doesn’t know what they want yet. It's about enabling seamless discoveries, sparking joy for your customers, and ultimately developing a deeper bond with your audience.
Customer Need Discovery | AI Mode Advantage |

Navigating AI Mode: Potential Revenue Streams
Incorporating AI Mode not only enhances customer relationships but also unlocks potential new revenue streams. With strengthened engagements, you can explore upselling and cross-selling opportunities with relevant product recommendations.
Why You Can’t Afford to Ignore AI-Driven Discovery
Ignoring the shift towards AI-Driven discovery is quite simply a risk not worth taking. It's not just about lost sales or reduced visibility; it's about becoming irrelevant in an increasingly digital world. If you want to keep owning the customer journey, you need to adapt and incorporate these emerging trends into your online strategy.
