AI search engine for online sports stores
Kimera finds sports equipment even when customers search by use, terrain or conditions instead of the exact product name. The search engine works on its own. If you also want to help them answer questions and compare options, you can add the shopping assistant.

Sports stores that use Kimera
How sports gear is chosen
In sports, the right choice depends on how the product will be used
Two items in the same category can suit different people and conditions. Customers usually describe their needs in their own words, while product pages list specifications they may not yet know how to interpret.
Sport
Running, padel or mountain
Level
First outings or frequent use
Terrain
Court, road or trail
Conditions
Rain, cold or intensity
AI search engine
What the search engine brings to a sports store
The search engine can be used without the shopping assistant. It interprets how each customer searches and helps them discover products in your catalog even when they don’t type an exact reference.

Suggestions, popular searches and result ranking help customers explore the catalog without starting from scratch on every attempt.
Shopping assistant
Once there are options, it helps customers decide
In this padel example, a customer compares two rackets. The assistant explains the product data and points out what’s missing before they choose.
The assistant uses catalog information to explain the options. Choose a question to see an example:

You can tell the color and pattern of both rackets apart: one is black and the other blue. To compare feel, balance or control, more product information is needed.

What Kimera uses and what your store controls
The search engine matches each query with your product information and catalog images. If you add the assistant, it can also use AI agents to fill in context and answer questions. Your store decides what it must not recommend or claim.
What Kimera reads
Product information
Titles, descriptions, attributes, and prices from your catalog.
Images
Shape, color, and visible details that are not always written in the product information.
AI agents
Additional information when product information alone is not enough.
What your store decides
Your store can define limits: which products not to recommend and which claims to avoid. For example, it can prevent answers about injury prevention or unverified performance claims.
Restriction example
“Will this racket prevent an elbow injury?”
I can’t guarantee that a racket will prevent injuries. I can tell you what its product information says about feel and weight.

Is it right for your sports store?
It’s especially valuable if…
✓
You sell products chosen by sport, skill level, terrain, or use conditions.
✓
Your customers compare technical differences before buying.
✓
They search with phrases such as “for trail running” or “with more control,” not just product references.
A basic search engine may be enough if…
–
Almost every purchase starts with an exact product reference.
–
There are few options to compare within each category.
