Klevu

Klevu was founded in 2013 in Helsinki, Finland and raised over $15M to build an AI-powered search and product discovery platform for mid-market and enterprise e-commerce retailers. The company built its differentiation around the application of natural language processing and machine learning to e-commerce search, enabling the platform to understand shopper intent from conversational queries rather than relying on exact keyword matching.\n\nKlevu's platform handles on-site search, category page navigation, and product recommendations with an AI layer that continuously learns from shopper behavior to improve result relevance over time. The platform's self-learning algorithm adjusts result rankings based on click-through rates, add-to-cart events, and conversion data automatically, reducing the manual merchandising effort required to maintain search quality on large or rapidly changing catalogs. Klevu also provides AI-powered product recommendations that can be deployed on product pages, cart pages, and email campaigns.\n\nKlevu integrates with Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and has built a strong partner ecosystem with Shopify and Magento agencies. The company competes against Searchspring, Constructor, and Unbxd in the e-commerce search market, differentiating through its AI-first architecture, strong support for multi-language catalogs across European markets, and competitive pricing for mid-market retailers.
