Bringing AEG’s expertise closer to the customer
AEG has spent more than a century turning technical innovation into products for everyday life. But online, customers still faced a familiar problem: finding the right appliance often required understanding the technology before they could buy it. Together with Neocom, AEG is changing that - first through needs-based product advisors, and now with a conversational Shop Agent that brings guidance directly into the storefront

Key insights
Customers know their needs, not the feature names
AEG offers more than 1,000 products, but finding the right appliance can quickly become overwhelming. A customer looking for a washing machine might face more than 100 products and a long list of technical filters. Yet they may only know what they actually need: a solution for a large household, lots of sportswear, or allergy-sensitive washing. The problem isn't a lack of choice. It's translating customer needs into the right product.
“Nothing is more unsatisfying than looking for something when you actually don't know what you want - and afterwards having even more question marks than before.”
- Daniel Tratz, D2C E-Commerce Director Commercial Area Central

AEG in Numbers
The Solution
From filters to needs to conversation
AEG and Neocom first addressed the challenge with a feature-based laundry and dishwasher advisors. Instead of technical specifications, customers answer simple questions about their household, laundry habits and requirements. The system translates those needs into relevant products. The next step: AEG's Shop Agent, now live across the storefront. Customers can simply describe what they need - “I'm an allergy sufferer” or “I do a lot of sports” - and receive relevant product recommendations. The agent is available across the homepage, landing pages and product pages, while also supporting service use cases such as finding operating instructions and booking appointments.
"We’re moving from a world of navigation to one of true intent. That means customers no longer need to know the technical aspects of a particular category; they can simply ask LLMs, just as they would ask an expert at MediaMarkt."
- Dana Nedamaldeen, Co-Founder & CEO Neocom

The Result
Guidance changes the buying decision
40%
of assisted users reach a product detail page
50%
higher average order value
15%
higher CTR
Assisted users also purchase innovation products more frequently. The Shop Agent is still too new for meaningful performance figures - it had been live for only around two weeks at the time of IFA. But early customer interactions are already showing that conversational assistance can become a natural part of the storefront.

The Future
Building the agentic storefront
For AEG, the product advisors and Shop Agent are steps towards a broader agentic customer journey - connecting discovery, product advice, validation, bundling and support through one intelligent layer. That shift depends on the product data underneath. As Dana Nedamaldeen puts it:
“The importance of product data is increasing - and its role is changing. Today, we optimize PDPs, banners, filters, copy, and campaigns. In the future, we’ll focus more on building out attributes, compatibility rules, and logic in order to enable the relevant use cases.”
- Dana Nedamaldeen, Co-Founder & CEO Neocom
As commerce moves from navigation to intention, the opportunity is no longer just to help customers search AEG's catalogue. It's to let the storefront understand what they're trying to achieve - and guide them to the right answer.
We see ourselves, of course, as a brand that drives innovation forward. (...) You have to jump on the bandwagon, and I’m really glad that we’re one of the first companies in our industry to do so."
