About
Fast Simon is an AI-powered eCommerce optimization platform that unifies product discovery through four core pillars: Search, Merchandising, Personalization, and AI Shopping Assistants. Designed for online retailers of all sizes, it eliminates the need for custom development by providing out-of-the-box AI that works across all major eCommerce platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce, and Wix. Its AI Search engine goes beyond keyword matching with natural language processing, visual discovery, smart rendering, and a product finder to help shoppers locate exactly what they want. The AI Merchandising suite lets teams optimize product collections, sorting, ranking, display, and imagery using rules tied to inventory, sales, margin, and more. Fast Simon's personalization engine creates unique product feeds per shopper, delivering real-time 1:1 personalized results in collections, searches, and recommendations based on session and behavioral data. The AI Shopping Agents feature enables conversational commerce — transforming product discovery into natural, ChatGPT-like interactions with tools like Shop Similar, Shop the Look, and Visual Search. Additional capabilities include B2B search and merchandising, A/B testing, email and SMS audience targeting, upsell and cross-sell automation, and a Display Merchandising Optimizer. Fast Simon is built for eCommerce teams that want to inspire every shopper interaction and drive sustained revenue growth without engineering overhead.
