The Challenge: Build an AI-Powered Personal Shopper
Build an AI-Powered Personal Shopper that customers can talk to in natural everyday language and express needs like goals, style preferences and contexts and get spot on recommendations.
The Paradigm Shift We Explore: From Self-Service Product Search To AI-Powered Personal Shopper.
We are facing a paradigm shift in e-commerce as we move from traditional self-service to AI-driven personal shoppers. With the help of LLMs, we can transform unstructured and ambiguous information into well-defined data, significantly improving product recommendations and market insights.
Ideas For What To Build
💡A personal shopper where customers can express needs such as: "I have a wedding to attend. The dinner on Friday says 'dark suit'. What are the rules? The next day is a pool party with casual clothing.”
💡 Customers can communicate with the personal shopper using natural language, whether spoken or written, through their preferred communication channel, such as phone calls, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.
💡 Customers can share a post from Instagram featuring a stylish shoe and receive a response from the personal shopper about where to find that specific shoe or where similar styles are available.
💡 Customers can send a question or a picture via WhatsApp to the personal shopper to start a conversation about product recommendations or availability.
💡 Customers provide a quarterly budget and specifies style, context and goals. The personal shopper then reaches out regularly with recommendations. Similarly to how a human personal shopper works with wealthy customers.
💡Make use of the data collected from the Personal Shopper’s customer interactions:
Generate content that drives traffic through SEO. E.g. auto generate a blog post about wedding clothing with recommendations of what to wear based on purchases by customers that have expressed that they need clothing for wedding parties.
Analyze which customer style preferences, contexts and goals are most profitable. E.g. people that just got a new job and need to make a good impression.
Generate recommendations for campaigns to run. E.g. which products are popular among customers that have highly profitable styles, contexts and goals.
