Akeneo is a global leader in Product Experience Management (PXM) solutions that help merchants and brands deliver consistent and enriched customer experiences across all sales channels, including eCommerce, mobile, print, and retail points of sale.

Today’s digital commerce landscape is being redefined by AI. Traditional keyword-based SEO is no longer sufficient to meet the expectations of customers who use conversational search, demand seamless omnichannel experiences, and expect highly relevant product recommendations. This digital event is a strategic opportunity to position Akeneo and Vaimo as thought leaders by addressing how AI is reshaping product discovery and conversion, and how structured product data is the critical foundation behind it.

Key Takeaways:

- Unpack the failures of traditional SEO and the frustrations it creates for modern shoppers.
- Explore how AI-driven search addresses these gaps by interpreting shopper intent—not just keywords.
- Share real-world case studies: Amazon’s Rufus and Sephora’s Virtual Artist, Color Match, and AI enhanced SEO strategies.
- Demonstrate how AI closes the loop on customer feedback, refining product content in real time based on review patterns, sentiment, and trends.
- Conclude with a practical 5-step framework to get your product data AI-ready: audit, standardise, centralise, train, and govern.

The Next Chapter of Commerce

Per anni, la ricerca online si è limitata all’inserimento di parole chiave, producendo risultati spesso casuali e poco coinvolgenti. Oggi l’intelligenza artificielle cambia radicalmente la donne: comprende l’intento reale dell’utente, contestualizza la ricerca, personalizza i risultati e facilita la scoperta di nuovi prodotti.

In questo intervento, scoprirete come il GEO (Generative Experience Optimization) sta trasformando la ricerca prodotto, con esempi concreti, dati chiave sull’impatto sul business e le migliori pratiche per prendere il controllo e preparare le vostre product data a questa nuova era.

Dal SEO al GEO: Come l'IA ridefinisce la ricerca e l'esperienza di acquisto

In today’s digitally driven supply chain, distributors are under pressure to deliver rich, accurate and differentiated product experiences — faster and across more channels than ever before. But most organizations struggle to get the basics of product data right, let alone scale it for AI-driven automation, personalization or enrichment. 
"Our product data isn't ready" is one of the most common reasons cited for why distributors haven't become deeply involved with AI applications or scaling certain customer offerings. 
 
In this webcast, our expert panel will dive into the core challenges facing B2B distributors when it comes to organizing, governing and scaling product information. We’ll also explore the foundational elements required to make product data AI-ready, including how to: 
• Create a well-structured product taxonomy 
• Centralize product data into a single source of truth 
• Build strong data governance frameworks to ensure consistency and control 
• Expand into new channels and speed up product launches 

Join us to learn how to turn complex product data into a competitive advantage — powered by structure, strategy and AI.

L’e-commerce sta entrando in una nuova fase di trasformazione significativa. I metodi tradizionali di ricerca e navigazione stanno lasciando il posto a sistemi intelligenti, in grado di comprendere e anticipare le reali intenzioni degli utenti, offrendo un livello di personalizzazione senza precedenti. In questa nuova fase, l’Intelligenza Artificiale non si limita a migliorare l’esperienza online: la sta ridefinendo. L’attenzione si sposta dalle categorie statiche e dalle parole chiave verso percorsi d’acquisto personalizzati, fondati sulla ricerca basata sull’intento (intent-based search) e su una comprensione più profonda dei comportamenti individuali.

Ripensare l’e-commerce nell’era dell’AI

L’e-commerce entre dans une nouvelle ère de transformation, portée par les avancées fulgurantes de l’intelligence artificielle. Les approches traditionnelles, basées sur des catégories figées et des mots-clés standard, cèdent progressivement la place à des systèmes intelligents capables de décrypter les véritables intentions des utilisateurs. Désormais, l’IA ne se contente plus d’optimiser l’expérience en ligne : elle en redéfinit les fondements. Grâce à une compréhension fine des comportements individuels, elle permet de créer des parcours d’achat fluides, contextualisés et hyper-personnalisés. La recherche devient intentionnelle, la navigation intuitive, et chaque interaction s’inscrit dans une logique prédictive centrée sur l’utilisateur. Cette révolution marque le passage d’un commerce numérique réactif à une expérience proactive, capable d’anticiper les besoins avant même qu’ils ne soient exprimés.

Repenser l’e-commerce à l’ère de l’IA
