By understanding and responding to customer behaviors and emotions, Sitecore Discover takes personalization to an emotionally-resonant level.
A Personal Touch: Emotional Connectivity in E-commerce
Sitecore Discover's distinctive feature is its ability to weave emotional context into the shopping experience. It does this by analyzing customer interactions to identify emotional triggers influencing purchasing decisions, enabling businesses to create an empathetic shopping experience that resonates with customers. Imagine a customer visiting an online store for the first time. As they browse, Sitecore Discover's AI algorithms analyze their interactions, picking up cues about their emotional state and preferences. This understanding allows businesses to tailor their content and product offerings, creating a shopping experience that extends beyond mere ransactions to form lasting emotional bonds.
Staying Agile with Dynamic Content Adaptation
In an ever-changing digital landscape, agility is key. Sitecore Discover's AI algorithms adapt content in real-time, ensuring that customers always see the most relevant and up-to-date product suggestions, thereby driving engagement and conversions.
Let's consider a customer searching for the perfect outfit on a fashion retail website. As they navigate through the site, Sitecore Discover's AI algorithms update and adapt content based on their browsing behavior, presenting them with the most enticing options that increase the likelihood of a purchase. User has a feeling that the site (or the brand owner) knows what customer needs. Or maybe will think that it read users mind? Looks like the future from the movies is closer that we expected.
Imagine the extent of strengthening the bond between the brand and its customer, lasting longer, staying longer in the customer's awareness and triggering emotions.

Personalization experiences are integrated at all points where product search capability or merchandising is displayed, connecting every point of contact to common visitor and product profile databases. The platform's widget and funnel events provide the system with the intelligence to personalize what site visitors see on an e-commerce channel.
AI-Enhanced Customer Experience
Sitecore Discover uses AI to deliver personalized search and recommendation experiences. Its advanced search technology and recommendation algorithms, coupled with user profiles based on visitor behaviors, deliver accurate and relevant search results. Over time, Sitecore Discover uses the cumulative behavior information it collects to build recommendations based on AI recipes such as co-viewed and co-bought products.
For every site visitor, Sitecore Discover creates a user profile that provides context when creating a Discover experience.
