Shopping Muse Elevates the Experience for Consumers Browsing Digital Catalogs
An advanced generative AI tool, Shopping Muse, was recently released by Dynamic Yield by Mastercard. The technology will provide a more personalized shopping experience for consumers searching for products in a retailer’s digital catalog. Whether a consumer uses unconventional search words or phrases — like “cottagecore” — Shopping Muse can offer suggestions that match the searcher’s unique consumer profile, browsing intent, and even affinity. Over time, results that match the shopper’s query are returned.
Creating an authentic, personalized experience for the consumer reduces frustration as consumers are presented with items they might not have properly described. Browsing history and past purchases also inform the tool, and this allows the retailer to avoid offering an item not previously shown to the consumer.
“Personalization gives people the shopping experiences they want, and AI-driven innovation is the key to unlocking immersive and tailored online shopping,” says Ori Bauer, CEO of Dynamic Yield by Mastercard. “By harnessing the power of generative AI in Shopping Muse, we’re meeting the consumer’s standards and making shopping smarter and more seamless than ever.”
