How Andersen partnered with Threekit to turn a complex product portfolio into a guided AI experience grounded in product data, business rules, and real customer needs.
Increase in progression rate — more visitors moving from arrival to a real product recommendation.
Increase in website leads when customers actively engage with the AI experience
Andersen Windows & Doors has spent more than 120 years building a trusted brand and a deeply customizable product line. That depth is a major reason customers choose Andersen. It’s also what can make the buying journey hard.
Homeowners, architects, contractors, and dealers all need guidance. But they don’t need the same guidance. A homeowner may be looking for inspiration and ideas for windows in a specific room for a big project they’re just starting. An architect may care about design intent and code requirements. A contractor may need confidence in installation. A dealer may need to support the sale.
For Andersen, the priority was bigger than improving a single website tool. The goal was to make the company easier to do business with.
Before Threekit, Andersen’s website tools relied on basic filters. They helped narrow the path, but they couldn’t fully support the nuance of the catalog or the wide range of customer questions behind every project.
“After 120 years, Andersen knows how to build a lot of different things. Even though that customization is a great benefit, it almost becomes more overwhelming than just having standard offerings. You have to help people articulate what they need, then match that for them.”

“I’m really proud of how this came to life. It was a real partnership with Threekit. We wanted to bring the human element. The experience our own sales reps and teams have. So the recommendations would feel like what our own team would deliver in a one-on-one conversation.”
Andersen partnered with Threekit to build an AI Guided Selling experience grounded in Andersen’s catalog, business rules, and the human expertise of its sales and product teams.
Customers can describe their project in natural language or use simple clicks. Either way, Threekit helps route them to relevant Andersen products.
This wasn’t AI bolted onto a website. It was a governed product selection experience designed to feel more like a conversation with an Andersen expert.
As Julie put it in her launch post on LinkedIn:
“This was one of the first generative AI tools publicly launched at Andersen, and we did it thoughtfully. Grounded in real customer needs, strong product data, and a clear focus on ease of doing business.”
Andersen launched in late 2025 with a scaled rollout, then expanded the experience across more digital surfaces after validating performance. Early results show that customers aren’t just using the experience. They’re moving forward.
More visitors moving from arrival to a real product recommendation.
When customers ask questions and interact with the experience, they’re much more likely to take the next step.
Especially from people who know the project they’re trying to solve, but don’t yet know the product they need.
Andersen can now see the questions people ask, the projects they describe, and the selection patterns that were previously harder to capture.
“A huge thank you to our partners at Threekit for being true collaborators. From AI training and data modeling to UX and ongoing optimization, this partnership helped us move faster and smarter."
