How it works
From a spoken request to the right products.
The shopper talks. The store responds with results they can use.
Tap or hold the mic and speak
The shopper taps the mic, or holds it while speaking, and says what they’re looking for in their own words.
Athena understands
It works out the intent and the attributes in the request.
Results in the store
Results, filters and sorting appear in the store.
Capabilities
Search that listens.
People say more than they type. Voice Search makes use of it.
Natural, longer queries
Shoppers can ask the way they talk, with as much detail as they like.
Hands-free typing, on mobile
Shoppers speak instead of typing on a small screen, and get the same results.
Same rules as text search
The same relevance and merchandising rules apply as in text search.
For shoppers who prefer not to type
Another way into your catalogue.
Spoken to structured
Say it the way you’d ask a shop assistant
A single sentence can hold a category, a colour, a size and a budget.
A winter coat
The shopper says
“I need a warm winter coat, nothing over €200.”
The filters it produces
- Category: Coats
- Season: Winter
- Price: Up to €200
A budget said aloud works like a price filter.
A size and colour
The shopper says
“Show me black running shoes in size 44.”
The filters it produces
- Category: Running shoes
- Colour: Black
- Size: 44
Colour and size come straight out of the sentence.
A gift
The shopper says
“A citrus perfume for a gift, cheapest first.”
The filters it produces
- Category: Fragrance
- Family: Citrus
- Sort: Price, low to high
“Cheapest first” sets the sorting.
