ChannelSight's new AI shopping assistant turns product discovery into a conversation, guiding shoppers from question to purchase across the retail network.

DUBLIN, D, IRELAND, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ChannelSight, the eCommerce platform that helps the world's biggest brands convert consumer interest into purchases, today launched AI Shopping Assistant, a conversational commerce solution that combines product guidance, multi-retailer availability and sales measurement in a single interface.

Shoppers can interact with a brand's products, receive tailored guidance and buy through their preferred retailer, all within a single conversational experience.

The launch comes as AI rapidly reshapes product discovery and shopping. At the same time, general-purpose AI platforms are beginning to introduce sponsored commercial experiences, creating a new question for brands: who owns the shopper relationship, and how does a recommendation translate into a measurable sale?

ChannelSight has spent more than a decade connecting brand demand with the retailers where consumers ultimately buy. Its Where to Buy technology gives brands a direct path from their own digital channels to retailers carrying their products globally. AI Shopping Assistant brings conversational product discovery into that same journey.

Shoppers visiting a brand website can ask questions such as, “Which of these is best for sensitive skin?”, “What's the difference between these two models?” or “Where can I get this today?” Answers are drawn from the brand's own product data, before shoppers are routed to buy from their retailer of choice.

“People don't shop from brands in a single way or through a single retailer,” said John Beckett, CEO of ChannelSight. “AI Shopping Assistant brings the intelligence of conversational shopping to the brand's own website, while preserving the retailer choice consumers expect.”

“Where to Buy has connected demand to the digital shelf for more than a decade. This is what that journey looks like in an AI-driven world.”
