Product Experience Firm Akeneo Buys AI Platform Unifai

US-based product experience (PX) company Akeneo has acquired Unifai, a platform for automated product data collection, cleansing, categorization and enrichment. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Paris, France-based Unifai has developed an AI engine which rapidly processes large volumes of retailer product data, automatically converting it into 'well-categorized' product records, in order to help users deliver an optimal shopping experience. It now joins Akeneo, which has already developed twenty AI apps focused on product data collection and cleansing, product information enrichment, and product content translation.

Jesse Créange (pictured), co-founder and CEO at Unifai, comments: 'We are excited to join forces with Akeneo and apply our expertise in AI/ML to elevate the Akeneo Product Cloud offering and to educate PX practitioners. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in product experience management'.
