Nosto puts its AI story into a product: hybrid vector search live, assistive features coming.

ai-searchagentic-commerceonsite-searchmerchandisingcompetitive-content
◆Current state
Nosto's feed is mostly marketing, with competitor guides on Constructor and Bloomreach, a Showroomprivé partnership and a Klaviyo partner tier. This week it finally carries a product launch. Nosto AI Search builds on Personalized Search with Hybrid Vector Search, available now, while Attribute Recognition, Query Refinements and AI Summaries are marked as coming soon.
◆Where it's heading
September's survey on shoppers leaving for ChatGPT and Claude set up the launch, and the competitor pages followed it. Nosto is arguing that onsite search must keep up with assistants, while keeping the merchandising controls retailers already use. The available part today is one retrieval upgrade; the conversational part is still a promise.
◆Prediction
The three coming-soon features are the obvious next releases. Expect more comparison pages aimed at search vendors while they ship.
