So what makes Twiggle Cool?
Twiggle's innovative solution spearheads the use of artificial intelligence to improve the experience of e-commerce search. E-commerce search hasn't changed much over the last 20 years, and Twiggle offers a major disruptive capability to infuse search with shoppers' intent.
Twiggle’s entity extraction and semantic mapping could be game changers for voice search.
The Gartner report asserts Twiggle's "natural language understanding (NLU) engine represents a fundamental step away from keyword search towards effective natural language search." Our teams achieve this by coupling natural language processing with a knowledge graph for consumer products.
Our solution automatically converts product listings into structured, semantic representations by mapping both structured and unstructured product data to a proprietary rich ontology especially built to represent the world of consumer products. We do the same with customer queries - mapping raw input to their proprietary ontology.
The result? Search engines speak the same language as customers, making search more natural - even conversational.
Twiggle's API enhances existing search engines- instead of replacing them- thus, complementing the online search experience and logic retailers have in place today, even those that have been highly customized.
