Catalog indexing engine

Source

Source summary

Index merchant catalogues in place and retrieve products through structured, unstructured or combined queries across different catalogue sizes. The source permits inverted indexes or catalogue language models and calls for bidirectional integration with the original catalogue. Demonstrate indexing throughput and explain artefacts and assumptions; a particular model is not mandatory.

Personalized Experience to Customers

Propose a framework for personalised product recommendations and offers across ONDC using customer attributes and feedback to seller participants. It must respect network participants' privacy and competition requirements and explain implementation impacts on each participant. Search-to-cart and cart-to-confirmation conversion are suggested outcome measures, not established improvements.

Indic language support

Support commerce in both Indic languages and English through text, voice and image inputs, returning translated outputs through corresponding interfaces. Use common dialects, open fonts for text/image output and Indic linguistic collation. The source suggests considering transformer-based pipelines, not mandating them. Example journeys include discovery, payment confirmation, order updates and customer service.

Negotiation engine

Demonstrate a negotiation engine for ONDC transaction terms such as price and settlement conditions. It should distinguish whether offers and counteroffers are converging or diverging, so participants can act on that information until they agree or terminate a transaction. The source does not require an autonomous agent to accept terms without oversight.
