How Shopify improved consumer search intent with real-time ML (2024) - Shopify
In the dynamic landscape of commerce, Shopify merchants rely on our platform's ability to seamlessly and reliably deliver highly relevant products to potential customers. Therefore, a rich and intuitive search experience is an essential part of our offering. Over the past year, Shopify has been integrating AI-powered search capabilities into our merchants’ storefronts. Shopify Storefront Search has transformed the way consumers can shop online. With Semantic Search, we went beyond keyword matching. We improved our understanding of the intent behind a consumer’s search, so that we could match a search with the most relevant products.
The net result is helping our merchants boost their sales while offering positive interactive experiences for their consumers. It’s a win-win!
Building ML assets with real-time Embeddings
Around the same time, Shopify also started investing in creating foundational machine learning (ML) assets. These assets are built as a shared repository of ML primitives which are used as reusable building blocks for more sophisticated AI systems. Shopify Storefront Search is the perfect use case for these ML assets. Complex systems like this need primitives that can transform both text and images into data formats it can process.
How do we do that?
Enter embeddings, which translate textual and visual content into numerical vectors in a high-dimensional space. This transformation allows us to measure the similarity between different pieces of content, whether text or images, enabling more accurate and context-aware search results.
Simplified example of using embeddings to compare search text to result corpus
Now that we have a clear idea of the ML primitives that Shopify Storefront Search relies on, let’s take a look at how we send these embedding updates to their systems.
Designing ML inference streaming pipelines
Currently, Shopify processes roughly 2,500 embeddings per second (or roughly 216 million per day) across our image and text pipelines in near real time. These embeddings include net-new or updated content from across our merchants. Since most of our data platform infrastructure is built on BigQuery,

Vector similarity search has revolutionised data retrieval, particularly in the context of Retrieval-Augmented Generation in conjunction with advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). However, it sometimes falls short when dealing with complex or nuanced queries. In this post, we explore our experimentation with a simple yet effective approach to mitigate this shortcoming by combining the efficiency of vector similarity search with the contextual understanding of LLMs.

Making it easier to build human-in-the-loop agents with interrupt
While agents can be powerful, they are not perfect. This often makes it important to keep the human “in the loop” when building agents. For example, in our fireside chat we did with Michele Catasta (President of Replit) on their Replit Agent, he speaks several times about the human-in-the-loop component
