Lightopia Ask Cleo

Shoppers describe the room they are furnishing and get the right fixture back.

A shopping agent that takes "I want my dining room warmer" and returns the right fixture.

What the agent does

Takes a described outcome rather than a product name, asks its own clarifying questions, and returns a curated set of fixtures.

01
The problem

Why this exists

Lighting is bought for a room, not by name. A shopper types a keyword because the search box requires one, but the thing in their head is a statement light for an entryway or a dining room that feels warmer.

Keyword matching cannot bridge that. It returns products that contain the words rather than products that solve the problem, and the shopper leaves without a way to describe what they meant.

02
Outcomes

What changes when this is in place

  • Shoppers describe what they want in plain language and receive curated, personalized recommendations in real time.
  • The agent asks clarifying questions rather than guessing, which is what lets it solve practical design problems such as matching a fixture to a vaulted ceiling, a room size, or a style.
  • Discovery works for shoppers who are unsure what they are looking for, which is the segment conventional search serves worst.

How it works

Architecture

Ask Cleo is Constructor's AI Shopping Agent, deployed on lightopia.com and reachable from the search bar. The experience runs end to end on Constructor's intent understanding and retrieval services rather than on keyword matching over an index.

Integration is through Constructor's shopping agent and intent APIs plus the front-end experience, with behavioral tracking for measurement.

Constructor built and operates the agent; Lightopia deployed it and branded it.
