An AI duo: no more "no results" and no more queue of the same questions

How a heating store replaced a search engine that lost customers and an overloaded service team with a pair of AI assistants: ecSearch + ecChat.

+25% conversion from search after deployment

Client and context

Ciepło24.pl (technika-grzewcza-sklep.pl) - an online store and wholesaler of heating technology: boilers, controls, chimney systems, water heaters and fittings from over 30 brands. The store runs on an e-commerce platform we built and continue to develop - and its customers, from consumers to installers, ask about technical products, each in their own way.

Challenge

Customers searched for products by symptoms ("boiler not heating"), colloquial names and with typos - the standard search engine replied "no results". The service team answered the same questions dozens of times a day.

Solution

We deployed an AI duo: ecSearch (semantic search with autocorrect and suggestions) and ecChat (an assistant advising 24/7 and checking availability and order statuses).

Search before and after: a misspelt query with no results vs relevant products in ecSearch

How it works

Two assistants, one customer flow

ecSearch catches the customer at the moment of searching, ecChat - at the moment of doubt. Together they guide the customer from the first query all the way to placing the order.

ecSearch

A search engine that understands intent

  • Semantic search instead of matching letters
  • Autocorrect for typos and word forms ("monobloc heat pumpp")
  • Understands symptoms: "boiler not heating" leads to the right category
  • Suggestions after 3 characters, before the customer makes a mistake
ecChat · the "Cieplik" assistant

An adviser that never sleeps

  • Advises on product selection in the heating sector
  • Checks availability and order status in real time
  • Answers 24/7 - even when the service team is off duty
  • Hands harder cases over to an agent with full context
