SAN FRANCISCO, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Constructor, the leading AI-powered search and product discovery platform for ecommerce companies, has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Search and Product Discovery — placing furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis and highest on the Ability to Execute axis among all vendors evaluated.1 This marks the second straight year Constructor has been recognized as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant.

Gartner defines search and product discovery (S&PD) solutions as: "applications that augment digital commerce solutions to facilitate navigation, filtering, comparisons and, ultimately, selection of products" — stating that "with the emergence of generative AI, conversational search and guided selling assistants are now appearing." The report also notes: "S&PD helps organizations meet the demands of today's B2B and B2C buyers."
In addition, the Magic Quadrant states: "The digital commerce search market — valued at approximately $17.41 billion in 2025 — continues to experience rapid growth, driven by increasing demand for personalized search experiences and the rising popularity of digital commerce." It further notes: "Demand for differentiating S&PD continues to grow, especially with the shift toward GenAI platforms and the return of conversational commerce. A dedicated S&PD product is often seen as a relatively cost-effective way to provide optimal digital customer experiences in the path to purchase — without fully replacing an incumbent digital commerce or digital experience platform."
AI that's built for how people shop
B2C and B2B ecommerce companies around the world rely on Constructor to connect shoppers with the products they're most interested in and most likely to buy. Constructor's unique AI-based platform powers product discovery with a focus on personalization and connectivity between channels. Constructor's customers use it to orchestrate discovery in search, browse, recommendations, agentic commerce (including conversational shopping through AI agents), retail media, emails, push notifications, various offsite channels and more — helping ecommerce companies drive stronger engagement, conversions and revenue.
At the core of the platform is Constructor's Commerce Reasoning Engine, which continuously learns from shopper behavior to constantly personalize, tailor and improve the shopping experience for every shopper. Purpose-built for ecommerce, the engine uses GenAI-based reasoning for every query to determine the right product for the right person in the right context — delivering experiences informed by shopper preferences and intent that better reflect how people actually shop.
"We are incredibly proud of our position in this year's Magic Quadrant and believe being positioned furthest in Vision and highest in Execution reflects Constructor's years of innovation and focus on strong customer outcomes," said Eli Finkelshteyn, Constructor CEO and co-founder. "AI is rapidly changing how people shop today, and the channels through which they shop. Buyers increasingly expect connected experiences that understand them and tailor to them, adapt to their needs, and help them find the right products with less effort. And retailers and brands want to give their shoppers that experience in every channel they power. We're excited to help shape this future alongside our customers, and proud of the dramatic and meaningful results they achieve."
