Improve search and discovery for eCommerce

Fashion artificial intelligence and search tools are perfect together because of the complexity of search and discovery tools. Instead of forcing users to navigate confusing fashion taxonomies, AI-powered search and discovery tools can provide alternative ways for customers to discover products. For example, the YesPlz Style Filter creates an intuitive, visual way for customers to search.
