Constructor vs Searchanise

Constructor is a cloud platform for ecommerce search and product discovery, founded in 2015. It uses shopper behavior, context and intent to personalize discovery across search, autosuggest, browse, recommendations, collections, quizzes and retail media. The AI Shopping Agent guides shoppers through natural-language product searches, while the Product Insights Agent answers personalized product questions. Merchant Intelligence Agent and Merchandiser Controls provide merchandising insights, dashboards, reports, controls and experiments. B2B capabilities cover account-segmented pricing and availability, personalization and discovery across large catalogs. Search options include hybrid, vector and faceted search, with zero-result reporting, search conversion tracking and result click analytics. Catalogs can be supplied through connectors, scheduled JSON, JSONL or CSV feeds, or REST API updates. APIs and browser or server-side client libraries support retrieving results, sending behavioral events and updating data or configurations; named client libraries include JavaScript, Swift and Kotlin. Constructor says it reduces personal data exposure using anonymous IDs, IP truncation and hashed identifiers. Pricing is not published; prospective customers are directed to book a demo.
