Lightopia, a leading online destination for luxury lighting and home décor, announced a new way for shoppers to find the right solutions for their needs with Ask Cleo, an AI-powered conversational shopping experience. Rather than relying on shoppers to plug the right keywords into their search, Ask Cleo uncovers recommended products through natural-language chats. Ask Cleo has shoppers describe what they're looking for, and to refine results, the platform powered by Constructor can provide clarifying questions.

"Ask Cleo represents the next evolution of online shopping for home furnishings," said Sharon Gautschi, Chief Merchandising Officer of Elevated Brands Group. "By combining merchandising expertise with AI-powered agentic search, we're making it easier for customers to explore, compare, and confidently find lighting solutions tailored to their style and needs."
