Transform how customers find and purchase products—without ever leaving the conversation
Have you ever messaged a brand hoping to find a product, only to be bounced out to their website, clicking through endless links, and eventually giving up?
You’re not alone—and neither are your customers.
In today’s digital world, shoppers expect convenience. If finding a product feels like a chore, they’ll abandon the journey. Worse, they might head straight to a competitor who offers a more seamless experience.
At Ephanti, we believe there’s a better way. Our omnichannel AI-powered platform brings your product discovery journey into the very conversations your customers are already having—on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SMS, and more. No switching apps, no unnecessary clicks, no drop-offs.
Let’s explore how Ephanti is redefining how modern brands help customers discover—and fall in love with—their products.
What Is Product Discovery?
Product discovery is the process of helping customers find the right item, even when they’re not sure what they’re looking for. Unlike traditional search, which relies on specific keywords or item names, discovery meets the customer where they are—often with vague or conversational queries.
Ephanti takes this a step further. We embed this discovery process into messaging channels—creating an uninterrupted, intuitive shopping journey from start to finish.
Imagine this: A customer starts chatting on WhatsApp asking, “What should I pack for a beach vacation?” Instead of redirecting them to a website, Ephanti’s AI responds with curated product suggestions, all within the chat. From casual wear to sandals and sunscreen—it’s all right there, beautifully presented.
Product Discovery vs. Product Search
These terms often get used interchangeably, but there’s a critical difference:
Product Search | Product Discovery |
---|---|
Customers know what they want | Indirect prompts like “something casual for travel” |
Customers are exploring options | Works best with precise terms |
Direct queries like “black sneakers size 8” | Works best with intuitive guidance and AI help |
Product Search:
Customers know what they want
Customers are exploring options
Direct queries like “black sneakers size 8”
Product Discovery:
Indirect prompts like “something casual for travel”
Works best with precise terms
Works best with intuitive guidance and AI help
Ephanti supports both, but our real strength lies in turning vague messages into personalized, relevant product suggestions—instantly.
