Abstract: A product assortment system includes a crawler obtaining product information from one or more domains and storing the product information in a database. A user interface determines one or more product categories associated with one or more products of a customer. A keyword module determines criteria for associating one or more products of one or more competitors with the product categories. The user interface generates a display indicating overlap of the one or more products of the customer with the one or more products of the competitors.
Abstract: A user seeking information relevant to the purchase of a home improvement product or other product submits a query to an automated system. The system transforms the user's voice query into a text statement and searches a knowledge base for candidate responses. Quality scores for the candidate responses are determined. If no candidate response having at least a minimum quality score is identified, the query is sent to a second device associated with an agent. The agent response is provided to the user and stored in the knowledge base for future use.
