Features

Semantic Search

Our platform uses vector search to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly search experience. Unlike traditional keyword-based search, vector search understands the semantic meaning behind the user's query, providing more relevant and accurate results. This is made possible by embedding vectors using OpenAI's ada-002 and Cosine-Similarity search for nearest vectors in Pinecone.

Image Search

Users can upload an image of a dress and the platform will search for similar dresses. This feature uses image recognition and vector search to find dresses that are visually similar to the uploaded image.

Personal AI Fashion Guide

Our platform features a personal AI fashion guide that provides personalized fashion advice and recommendations. The users can then search for the recommended styles using th generate suggestions button.
