Constructor

Constructor builds AI-powered search and product discovery technology for ecommerce. Rather than adapting generic search software for retail, the company has built its search engine from the ground up specifically for commerce, applying machine learning, natural language processing and transformers to help shoppers find products and to improve retailers' revenue, conversion rate and profit.

The platform operates at considerable scale, powering more than 1 billion search queries every day across 150 languages. Named customers include Sephora, Petco, Under Armour and Birkenstock, among the biggest retailers in the world. Constructor states that its technology has never lost an A/B test against a competitive technology.

The company's work sits at the bleeding edge of AI, spanning machine learning, NLP and transformer architectures within a purpose-built search engine. Internally, Constructor says it values transparency - what it calls "glass box" insight - continuous improvement, and empowering everyone to do their best work. It operates in the ecommerce and retail verticals.
