Depict.ai’s one-of-a-kind solution can be used by any eCommerce company to provide Amazon-class recommendation features to the customers, which helps in providing an enhanced shopping experience.
To be precise, Depict.ai’s technology is a plug-and-play solution that understands all of a retailer’s products.
“Depict.ai’s AI-based product recommendation platform is completely novel because it does not require historical sales data, enables online retailers of any size to deliver high-quality recommendations, a key driver of increased revenues,” said John Curtius, Partner, Tiger Global.
He also mentioned that they are delighted to work with Depict.ai and its team as the company continues to expand into new markets.
The company’s system used deep learning technology to effectively identify product images and metadata to understand a retailer’s offer and provide a highly accurate recommendation service. An added advantage of Depict.ai’s solution is that it can offer the recommendation feature without the need for entering any previous sales data.
