VENDOR PROFILE
Coveo
Category: AI Search & Relevance
Coveo is an AI-powered relevance platform that provides search, recommendations, and personalization across ecommerce, customer service, websites, and digital workplaces. Its Relevance Cloud applies machine learning to deliver relevant results and, increasingly, generative answering across use cases.
A Canadian SaaS company founded in 2005, Coveo spans more than just commerce search — but for ecommerce it powers product discovery, recommendations, and merchandising. As with any relevance engine, results are only as strong as the structured product data it indexes.
