    Why classical search systems reach their limits

    ×

    Black-Box Matching

    Conventional vector or BM25 search shows scores, but not the reason.

    Outdated Data

    Re-indexing takes hours; stock changes go unnoticed.

    0

    Zero-Result Frustration

    Vague queries or implicit intent lead to empty result pages.

    High Integration Costs

    Proprietary engines require deep changes to front- and back-end.

    How AGINITY AI solves these problems

    1

    Agent-Based Product Intelligence

    Every product receives a complete attribute profile plus contextual knowledge. When a query arrives, the agent acts like a knowledgeable sales advisor.

    2

    Explainable Results

    For every result ranking, AGINITY AI shows a transparent attribute-weighting graph – understandable for end users and verifiable for audits.

    3

    Live Inventory Sync

    If stock level, price or delivery time changes, AGINITY AI synchronises the information within 60 seconds.

    4

    Plug & play in 30 minutes

    Two lines of code suffice: embed the widget, upload the feed, done. For headless setups a REST/GraphQL API is available.

    5

    Fair-Priced Pay-per-Use

    Billing is per processed search query. From 1 million queries per month, price caps apply.

    6

    Hosting & Support in Germany

    The platform runs in an ISO-certified data centre in Frankfurt am Main.

    Why this delivers measurable results immediately

    More Conversion

    When buyers no longer need to research and compare at length, conversion rates rise significantly.

    Fewer Wrong Purchases

    Catalogue-wide matching plus clear guidance reduces wrong purchasing decisions.

    Fewer Support Requests

    When the consultation already answers typical product questions during the buying process, follow-up enquiries decrease.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Agentic Search?

    Agentic Search coordinates multiple specialised AI agents that translate purchase intent, requirements and constraints into a complete catalogue match across structured product data points per SKU. The result is not a top-k subset, but a complete, reasoned selection of all matching products.

    How does Agentic Search differ from classic product search in an advisory context?

    AGINITY AI matches the complete product catalogue via structured data points per product and returns all matching products with comprehensible justification – incl. hard attributes, compatibility and constraints.

    What is the difference between Agentic Search and RAG?

    RAG and vector systems typically return a semantically similar subset (top-k retrieval) from text or vector indexes. AGINITY AI works with structured product data points, validates hard criteria such as compatibility and constraints, and returns all products that fully meet the requirements.
