Why Gartner Recognizes Cimulate as "a Cool Vendor"
According to the report, "Today, content generation is the most adopted GenAI use case in marketing. Digital marketing leaders should look beyond for more use cases that have the potential to deliver business value." (Sandy Shen, 27 October 2025). Cimulate is showcased for one of those use cases: LLM-driven product discovery.
"We're honored to be named a Cool Vendor by Gartner," said John Andrews, CEO of Cimulate. "We believe this recognition validates our mission to empower commerce leaders with AI that's not just generative, but truly agentic and capable of understanding, simulating, and improving how shoppers discover products in real time. Our approach bridges data science and brand experience to drive tangible business results."
A key finding in the report identifies synthetic data as unlocking personalization; specifically, when used to simulate customer behaviors in environments that are either privacy-sensitive or data-poor.
Cimulate's technology was first built to address the data disadvantage most retailers and brands face versus hyper-scalers. This is achieved by generating synthetic data from shopping simulations. The resulting agentic models continuously learn from live behavior, optimizing results for business objectives such as revenue, engagement, and acquisition, while giving merchandisers transparency and control.
With the rise of answer engine optimization (AEO), and generative engine optimization (GEO) reshaping how shoppers discover products, Cimulate is advancing its CommerceGPT platform to support this shift. This includes helping digital marketers better connect to conversational research patterns and tune their digital experience to speak to agents and shoppers alike.
