Lucidworks Launches AI-Powered Commerce Studio and Analytics Studio, Available in New Fast-Start Packages

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21, 2025 — Lucidworks has announced significant advancements in merchandising and analytics with the twin launches of Commerce Studio and Analytics Studio. Bringing predictive AI and real-time insights to enterprise search and discovery, both platforms will be available as fast-start packages for B2B and B2C enterprises.

Powered by first-of-its-kind AI, Commerce Studio’s Intelligent Merchandising Assistant offers real-time recommendations based on anonymized customer search and behavior data. Merchandisers can then choose whether to implement recommended changes with the click of a button, maintaining complete human control at every step. Commerce Studio boosts Revenue Per Visitor (RPV) by 15% or more while saving an estimated 1,000 hours of merchandiser time annually.

Analytics Studio serves as a command center for search and discovery success, capturing the complete customer journey and transforming complex search data into actionable intelligence. Analytics Studio enables businesses to optimize rankings, personalize experiences, and identify new opportunities in real time.

“Traditional merchandising does not work at scale,” said Mike Sinoway, CEO of Lucidworks. “Our new AI-powered merchandising is automated, more efficient, and more accurate, yet it offers full transparency and complete override controls. It’s just better in every way.”

“Half of the U.S.’s top retailers – brands like Crate & Barrel and Lenovo – already turn to us for their search solutions, and we hear about their successes every day,” explained Keri Rich, VP of Product for Lucidworks. “In fact, Forrester recently found that our tools improve conversions and substantially improve profit. Now, with our studios’ AI-driven insights and touch-of-a-button controls, we aim to propel those profits even higher.”

Both studios are available within Lucidworks’ new B2B and B2C Core Packages, which also include:

• Neural Hybrid Search, combining semantic understanding with keyword precision.
• Pre-configured templates and tools for immediate deployment.
• Comprehensive data integration and enrichment capabilities.
• Expert deployment and support.

Building on the recent launch of its AI orchestration engine, these new offerings illustrate Lucidworks’ strategic vision for intelligent enterprise search and discovery. Lucidworks will expand its offering later this year with Knowledge Management packages, further enhancing its enterprise search and discovery capabilities.
