Common Questions About Novi vs Lily AI

What’s the biggest difference between Novi and Lily AI?

Lily AI focuses on making product information richer, more structured, and easier for machines to understand. Novi focuses on understanding what actually drives product selection and recommendation, including which attributes and authority signals matter most within a category.

How does Novi go beyond machine readability?

Novi measures whether products are actually being recalled, selected, ranked, and recommended, then identifies the signals influencing those outcomes. The goal is not only to make content readable, but to understand what makes a product competitive for recommendation.

Why isn’t machine readability enough on its own?

AI can understand a product without ultimately choosing it. Novi helps brands understand the additional signals that influence selection and ranking, including category relevance, product evidence, competitive differentiation, and authority.

Does Novi also help improve product content?

Yes. Novi translates recommendation intelligence into prioritized changes across product data, PDPs, structured data, content, authority signals, and distribution. The difference is that those changes are guided by what actually influences recommendation performance.
