Building an AI-Powered Shopping Copilot with Weaviate

UK-based startup Moonsift is utilizing AI technology, specifically machine learning models and Weaviate's vector database, to enhance product discovery for online shoppers. The company offers an ecommerce browser extension that enables users to curate shoppable boards with products from various internet retailers. Co-founders David Wood and Alex Reed aim to improve product discoverability by leveraging AI capabilities. Moonsift has collected data on over 60 million products, 250 million interactions, and 40 thousand retailers across the internet, which it uses to train machine learning models for better product discovery. The company is now preparing to launch its AI Copilot feature, which can understand user intent and provide intelligent search results. Moonsift plans to continue optimizing its system's cost, performance, and scale while exploring new features like Product Quantization (PQ) and multi-tenancy for personalized vector search.
