Introduction
AI Commerce Search is a suite of Google Cloud solutions that help retailers improve product discovery. This helps shoppers find relevant products on ecommerce storefronts and can support stronger sales and conversion outcomes.
The Google Cloud products have been renamed several times. Older docs, UI labels, and external links may use names such as:
- AI Commerce Search
- Recommendations AI
- Vertex AI Search for Commerce
- Vertex AI Recommendations
- Google Cloud Retail API
- Cloud Retail Search and Recommendations AI
- Discovery AI Retail Search
Retail API
