Our Platform

What is Discovery-AI?

An AI product discovery and ecommerce growth platform engineered specifically for rug stores, retailers, and home-decor brands with practical AI and simple tools.

Unlike generic SEO agencies or ecommerce plugins, Discovery-AI combines rug-industry-specific catalog intelligence, AI search, visual discovery, Shopify/WooCommerce integration, and local growth services built for physical rug stores.

Rug-Specific Catalog Intelligence

Understands rug catalog data like weaves, materials, sizes, piles, and styles out of the box.

AI Search & Recommendations

Helps shoppers search naturally (e.g., "8x10 neutral wool rug") and find matching options instantly.

See In My Room

Enables shoppers to upload room photos and preview scaled, realistic rugs directly in place.

Local SEO & Feed Automation

Optimizes local store search visibility and automates feeds for Google Shopping and social channels.

Challenges We Solve

Real problems we fix

Customers ask for 8×10 neutral rugs and can’t find them.

Guided shopping + smart search narrow by size, color, style, and material in a few clicks.

How will this rug look in my room?

Room Visualizer — upload a photo, preview scaled rugs in place, compare, and buy with confidence.

Which rug fits my room and lighting?

Design Assistant — upload a photo, get relevant rugs in context, compare, and decide faster.

It’s hard to list one-of-a-kind rugs with good details.

Snap-to-Listing turns photos and notes into ready listings with titles, attributes, and tags — fast.

We spend time answering the same questions.

Conversational assistant answers shipping, billing, hours, directions, size & stock; suggests alternatives and captures leads.

Getting our catalog in front of buyers is a grind.

Clean feeds to Google Shopping, Pinterest, ChatGPT, social commerce, and marketplaces keep your rugs where buyers search.
