Agora is an AI search engine for e-commerce products. We've indexed 30 million products sold on 100,000 stores and made them easy to search, purchase, and track. Think of a decentralized Amazon.

Hey great stuff, upvoted and replied your message in Linked in

Just wondering, How do you setup partnership with thousands of stores ( 100k ) at this stage, are you doing some sort of Legal and Compliance stuff ?

Are you like query the products everyday across million of product to track the prices and etc ? How to ensure everything is up to date ?

Is that the future of shopping?
Maybe need to add geolocation as a filter so I can select local brands or brands that will be shipped really soon- users wants stuff as soon as possible. And maybe a filter by delivery date based on location.

AWESOME!
Good luck - if you need PM consulting or you are hiring ping me!

Congratulations on the launch of Agora! Your platform addresses the challenge of navigating multiple e-commerce sites for product discovery and purchasing.

What specific algorithms or techniques does Agora use to ensure accurate product indexing and relevant search results for users?

This is sure an ambitious project.
Just quickly tried it, here some thoughts:

  • The result doesn't seem to be very informative, e.g. I'm missing # of reviews (to be able to somewhat evaluate the reliability of the star rating), a short description, manufacturer, release date.

  • I seems it doesn't list different store one which one product is available. Does it make any effort to find the store with the best price?

What a fantastic concept! I love the idea of a decentralized Amazon with a single cart transaction across thousands of stores. The AI search engine feature sounds incredibly powerful for finding exactly what you need. Great work!

awesome product you have here ! quick question before i try it out , do you have an AI agent that can handle the conversation with the user , or do i just need to type the product i am looking for?

Hi Team Agora. This is extremely ambitious and I love it. Best of luck with the launch. I tried out the personalised search and that looks pretty useful. Unfortunately, I think this is US only right now. So couldn't test the entire flow.

Creating a universal cart boggles my mind, how do you handle all the individual nuances between stores/sending the correct address etc? Amazing work

Hi, I'm Ale - Head of Growth at Agora.

I'm thrilled to be back on PH and see how far we've come since our last launch.

The numbers speak for themselves - 30M products across 100K stores, with over 2M searches in 2024 alone.

What excites me most is our solution to a fragmented e-commerce experience. No more juggling multiple carts, shipping costs, or tracking numbers from different stores. Our universal cart and AI-powered routing have made shopping as seamless as it should be.

We significantly redesigned and improved Agora with 2.0. The sub-300ms search speed optimization has been a game-changer for conversion rates, and adding major retailers like Walmart and Target has significantly expanded our reach. Plus, our new product collections feature is already generating meaningful passive income for our users.

We're not just building another marketplace - we're creating the infrastructure for the future of decentralized commerce. Excited to hear what the PH community thinks!

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Param, founder of Agora.

I'm excited to launch Agora 2.0, an AI search engine for e-commerce products! We've indexed 30 million products sold on 100,000 stores and made them easy to search, purchase, and track. Think of a decentralized Amazon.

Customers can check out on Agora with a universal cart. We don’t hold any inventory ourselves, route purchases to e-commerce stores using AI agents, and give customers an order tracking link that shows the shipping status of products from the different stores.

What's new since our last launch:

  • New design: We redesigned Agora to focus on simplicity and conversion.

  • Faster search: We've been working on server and tooling optimization to return results in under 300 milliseconds.

  • More stores: We've added 91,900 more stores, including major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Macy's.

  • Easier purchasing: Ask product questions inline, analyze AI generated pros and cons, and see centralized reviews.

  • Transparent shipping rates: On checkout, we now show the shipping options that the store provides.

  • Make passive income: Introduced product collections that help our users earn commission.

Our progress:

  • 30,000,000 products

  • 100,000 stores

  • 258,873 brands

  • 6,158,870 product reviews

  • 2,105,118 searches in 2024

My vision for Agora is to aggregate the world's e-commerce products into one place. I believe this will create market efficiencies for customers, developers, and merchants.

I'd love your feedback! You can also reach me at [email protected].
