You can now use Samsung's bixby assistant to help you get the latest fashion look

CAPE TOWN – Samsung has announced a new partnership with Syte, to create a visual AI marketplace within Samsung devices by using Bixby Vision’s Shopping Assistant, enabling users to browse and shop visually similar products directly from their camera.

Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa said in a statement: "South Africa has enthusiastic consumers that expect engaging and convenient experiences that fit their lifestyle. We, therefore, decided to expand our partnership with Syte so our devices deliver just that. With visual search, South Africans can shop with ease, and connect better with their favourite retailers and brands and vice versa.”

SA customers will have access to a gallery of similar products including Superbalist, Zando, Cotton On, Wantitall, Homechoice and Bid or Buy.

Syte retail clients will populate the shopping results, which means unprecedented access to high quality, purchase-ready traffic to retailers.

Samsung aims to create the first visual AI ecosystem, where real-life inspiration leads directly to product discovery and purchase, all powered by Syte’s leading visual AI technology for retail.

In a strategic decision by Samsung and Syte, the retailers that appear on the shoppable feed will create a consistent experience driven by visual inspiration, all the way from snapping a picture to check-out.

Ofer Fryman, Chief of Syte said in a statement: “We are thrilled that more and more consumers are going to experience the power of visual search. Our partnership with Samsung and its expansion to South Africa are meaningful achievements for us. By powering the end-to-end journeys of shoppers, we bring more value and increase the engagement between our retail clients and consumers.” 

Supported devices for Bixby Vision and Shopping include Galaxy S10+ / S10 /  S10e / S9 / S9+ / Note8 / S8 / S8+ / A7 2018 / A5 2018.
