Helping Businesses Find the Right Product Faster with AI
Selecting the right product from hundreds of SKUs, technical documents, and product catalogs can be time-consuming and often requires assistance from experienced product specialists.
At Ncoresoft, we developed an AI-powered Product Recommendation & Solution Advisor for a pharmaceutical manufacturer that enables sales teams and distributors to identify the most suitable products in seconds using natural language.
Unlike traditional search or filter-based systems, the AI understands user intent, asks intelligent follow-up questions, retrieves relevant information from technical documents using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and recommends the best products with transparent reasoning.
Although this implementation was for the pharmaceutical industry, the same AI architecture can be applied to manufacturing, industrial equipment, medical devices, electronics, automotive, legal, insurance, and B2B product catalogs.
Business Challenge
The client managed hundreds of pharmaceutical products across brochures, technical documents, product specifications, PDFs, and internal knowledge bases.
Finding the right product often required:
- Searching multiple PDFs and product catalogs
- Consulting product specialists
- Comparing specifications manually
- Responding to customer queries with inconsistent information
This resulted in slower response times, increased dependency on subject matter experts, and reduced sales efficiency.
Our AI Solution
Ncoresoft built a conversational AI Solution Advisor powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and AI Agent workflows.
Instead of searching documents using keywords, users simply describe their requirements in natural language.
For example:
“I’m looking for a pharmaceutical product suitable for diabetic patients with sustained-release properties.”
If additional information is needed, the AI automatically asks relevant follow-up questions before generating recommendations.
The AI then:
- Understands customer intent
- Retrieves relevant information from product documentation
- Compares suitable products
- Explains why each recommendation fits the customer’s requirements
- Provides supporting references from the knowledge base
- Generates consistent and reliable recommendations
