Query Categorization is now available in public beta, allowing premium plan customers to access a new capability that dramatically reduces end-user effort by making it easier for customers to search, discover, and find what they are looking for. This new feature enables developers, merchandisers, media companies, and content providers to anticipate customer intent and connect them with the most relevant category or selection of items. With Algolia Query Categorization, businesses can automate manual processes, unlock automatic boosting & burying, deliver higher-level analytics, and promote more efficient merchandising. The AI model helps business users fine-tune site and search results while increasing cart sizes, optimizing conversion rates, and improving customer satisfaction. By leveraging a vector-based semantic model to predict which classifications a search query is most likely to align with, Query Categorization provides developers, content, and product managers the power to anticipate what their customers are looking for during their search, resulting in higher customer satisfaction, stronger brand loyalty, and more sales.
