How Noise Transformed Product Discovery with AI-Powered Personalization

How Noise Transformed Product Discovery with AI-Powered Personalization

It’s 3 PM on a Tuesday. Jai lands on the Noise website from an Instagram ad for smartwatches. Five seconds later, he’s gone.

Arjun, a fitness enthusiast, visits from his laptop. He scrolls past smartwatches and earbuds, searching for something that fits him. After 30 seconds, he leaves.

Isha opens Noise on her phone during her commute. She’s met with premium products she can’t afford and exits immediately.

Three visitors. Three different needs. One generic experience.

This was Noise’s reality.

👉 The more choices users see, the longer it takes to decide. Excess choice doesn’t empower users, it paralyzes them.

The Challenge

Noise had built a massive catalog of 15,000+ products from smartwatches to earbuds and fitness trackers. But as the catalog grew, finding the right product became harder for shoppers.

The numbers told a troubling story:

  • 1 million monthly visitors, but most left within seconds

  • 95% of visitors were anonymous, offering no clues about their preferences

  • High bounce rates as visitors, overwhelmed by choice, simply gave up

  • Conversion rates stagnating despite continuous product launches


While competitors chased 10-minute delivery, Noise had a bigger challenge: helping visitors find the right product in under two minutes before they left.
The team knew incremental fixes wouldn’t work. They needed to turn their static webstore into an intelligent concierge that understood each visitor’s context.

Helium’s Solution

Helium’s approach was different. Instead of asking visitors to fill out preference forms or create profiles, it observed and learned from their digital fingerprints in real time.

Every visitor left subtle clues:


  • City and weather patterns, someone in Mumbai during monsoon season likely needs water-resistant earbuds

  • Device type and recency, an iPhone 15 user has different expectations than someone on a 3-year-old Android

  • Traffic source, paid ad clicks versus organic search reveal purchase intent

  • Visit history, first-time browsers behave differently from repeat visitors

  • Session behavior, what they click, how long they linger, what they ignore


Helium processed these signals in real time to create a unique journey for each visitor showing Jai - premium smartwatches, Isha - budget-friendly aesthetic options, and Arjun - fitness trackers.


Adaptive Product Curation

Remember Jai, the Instagram clicker? When he returned after Helium, the experience changed.

Based on his preferences, device, location, and behavior, the site instantly surfaced smartwatches in his price range, highlighted commute-friendly features, and prioritized water-resistant options. Meanwhile, Mary saw a completely different view value-driven products with clear pricing, discounts, and EMI options.

The result: a 50% reduction in bounce rates as visitors immediately saw what mattered to them.

Contextual Product Pages

Finding the right product was only the first step. The next challenge was showing why it was right.

When Arjun clicked a fitness tracker, the product page adapted in real time. Specs were replaced with runner-relevant benefits app integrations, battery life for long runs, and gait compatibility. Visuals shifted from generic shots to outdoor scenes, and comparisons focused on what fitness enthusiasts actually care about.

The result: a 13% lift in conversions as visitors got clear answers to “Why is this right for me?”

Recognition Over Recall
👉 Users shouldn’t have to interpret specs. Show them scenarios they instantly recognize themselves in.

Smart Upsells That Feel Like Recommendations

Traditional ecommerce relies on “frequently bought together.” Helium went further by understanding why a shopper might want something.


When Isha added a smartwatch to her cart, Helium curated a trendy lifestyle bundle: rose gold wireless earbuds perfect for Instagram-worthy study sessions, a minimalist power bank that looks great on desk, and a silicone strap featured in recent trends, all within a student-friendly price range.


The result: a 12% increase in average order value through intent-led recommendations.

The Technical Magic: How It Actually Works

Behind the seamless experience was an AI engine working in milliseconds.


Real-time signals

The moment a visitor landed, Helium read device, location, traffic source, time of day, and past behavior to infer intent.


Progressive learning

As visitors interacted, Helium refined its understanding - clicks, hovers, and scrolls continuously shaped the experience.


Attribute-led recommendations

Instead of generic “similar products,” Helium surfaced products based on what mattered most, like battery life, design, or price.

Numbers That Tell the Story

Six months after implementing Helium, Noise’s webstore evolved from a digital catalog into an intelligent shopping companion.

Impact metrics:


  • Bounce rate: 30% lower

  • Conversion rate: 25% higher

  • Average order value: 12% increase

  • Time to purchase: under 2 minutes


Not only this, First-time visitors behaved like informed buyers, product pages felt like conversations, not spec sheets. Cart abandonment dropped as confidence grew & shoppers felt understood not sold to.

The Bigger Picture

Noise’s success proves a simple truth. Personalisation isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation of modern e-commerce. Shoppers no longer want generic storefronts. They expect relevance and experiences that respect their time.

Helium didn’t just increase sales. It transformed shopping into something that felt personal, thoughtful, and built for each visitor.
