FAQs

What’s the difference between standard product search, vector search, and AI product discovery?
Yes. KIBO’s AI Search is built to handle the complexity of B2B catalogs, including technical specifications, part numbers, account-specific pricing, and fitment data. Our vector and semantic search interprets industry terminology, abbreviations, and cross-references so buyers find the right SKUs faster, whether they’re searching by part number, application, or plain-language description.

Can merchandisers still control outcomes?

Yes—merchandisers control outcomes via rules, synonyms, weighting, and thresholds. Your business, your rules.

Does it work with real‑time inventory?

Yes—KIBO promotes inventory-aware experiences by leveraging our Real-Time Inventory Service (RIS).

How does Gemini help?
Gemini adds LLM-based semantic understanding and natural-language context, improving the relevance and accuracy of conversational and complex B2C and B2B queries.
