How Onton’s neurosymbolic search learns from every query. The breakthroughs behind self-improving product discovery, from embeddings to symbolic reasoning.

How Onton’s neurosymbolic search learns from every query. The breakthroughs behind self-improving product discovery, from embeddings to symbolic reasoning.

We tested modern text-embedding models on messy, real-world shopping language. Smaller models with better context beat larger ones on product search.

Ontology 1 is a neurosymbolic model for complex, conversational, multimodal product search — more accurate than Amazon or Google Shopping on intent-heavy queries.

Across 90 intent-heavy queries scored by three independent LLM judges, Ontology 1 outperformed Amazon and Google on conversational product search (P@10 0.630).

Onton updates: redesigned homepage, faster Imagine, search filters, Save to Canvas, and photo-based object detection for home shopping. Read the recap.

Everything that went wrong (and right) during our 4-day feature sprint. Shipping as fast as possible. All bugs, breakthroughs, and lessons documented.

Canvas is an AI-powered mood board tool that turns home design inspiration into action. Visualize, personalize, and shop 5M+ products in one place.

Deft is now Onton. Why we renamed, what the word means, and where we’re taking AI-powered product search for home furniture and decor shopping. Read on.
