Token compression for e-commerce AI

E-commerce platforms use AI for product recommendations, search, review analysis, and customer support. Each use case sends product data to LLMs — and product catalogs are large.

E-commerce AI token hotspots

An e-commerce AI system sends: product descriptions (200-500 tokens each), customer reviews (100-300 tokens each), search queries (10-50 tokens), and purchase history (500-2000 tokens). For a store with 10,000 products and 1,000 daily AI queries, that is millions of tokens per day.
