Netcore Unbxd Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Search and Product Discovery for the Third Consecutive Year

Netcore Unbxd has been building AI-powered product discovery for the fast-paced world of ecommerce, combining agentic commerce intelligence with real-time personalization to drive measurable ROI for retail businesses globally. We are proud to announce that Netcore Unbxd has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Search and Product Discovery.

In our view, this recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to building production-ready agentic capabilities, a strong data foundation for AI applications, and exceptional digital commerce experiences for retailers globally.

A Note From Our Leadership

Rajesh Jain, Founder of Netcore, remarked:

"We believe being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Search and Product Discovery reflects what our teams have built and what our customers have trusted us to deliver. Our agentic capabilities, including shopping agents, debugger agents, insight agents, merchandising agents, and an MCP server for AI platform connectivity, are our biggest strengths against the changing state of ecommerce. In our view, this validates the direction we have committed to: real agentic capabilities in production, not roadmap promises."

At Netcore Unbxd, we are building agentic commerce capabilities that give ecommerce brands autonomous AI across the full discovery journey.

Customer-Facing Agents

Conversational Guided Selling with Shopping Agents

Convert shopper conversations into purchases. Trained on your catalog, content, and business rules, the AI Shopping Agent delivers expert-level product guidance, answers complex product questions, and helps shoppers find the right products faster—boosting conversion rates and reducing purchase friction. LINK

Visual Search

Help shoppers find products the way they naturally discover them. Visual Search enables customers to upload an image and instantly find similar products, reducing search abandonment, increasing product discovery, and creating seamless omnichannel shopping experiences across search, AI agents, and digital shopfronts. LINK

Complete the Look / Shop the Look

AI-driven recommendations automatically suggest complementary products, building combinations that increase engagement and Average Order Value.

Retailer-Facing Agents

Catalog Enrichment

Improve product findability without manual effort. Automatically enrich, normalize, and tag product data to power more relevant search results, smarter recommendations, and accurate filtering, resulting in lower bounce rates, higher engagement, and increased conversion. LINK

Debugger Agent

Eliminate the guesswork in search troubleshooting by explaining why products rank the way they do in plain language. Break down AI signals, configurations, and algorithmic impact so retailers see exactly which factors drove each result, and spot misconfigurations, fallbacks, and root causes of zero results faster than manual investigation. Instead of opening tickets and waiting for support, merchandisers and engineering teams diagnose and fix relevance issues in minutes. LINK

Merchandising Copilot

Surface revenue opportunities and guide execution without requiring professional services or algorithm tweaks. Proactively get suggestions on merchandising strategies based on ecommerce catalog, behavior data, and KPIs, then help retailers implement them safely through the console. LINK

Insights Agent

Turns your discovery data into answers through natural language conversation. Ask it "Show me revenue per visit across search categories last month" or "Which zero-result queries are costing us the most" and get instant, aggregated insights without navigating dashboards or building reports. Search, browse, and recommendation performance become transparent and actionable in real time. LINK

MCP Server for AI Platform Connectivity

Netcore Unbxd built an MCP server that connects product catalogs to third-party AI agents, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and other large language models.
