Berlin. World Retail Congress 2026. A conversation with David Roth from WPP about the future of AI in commerce. ๐ฉ๐ช
Grateful for this one. Full video ๐

Brands drop thousands on a lifestyle shoot, then link one product under the photo. The model is wearing five things someone might want.
Make every item in the shot tappable and they can buy the one that caught their eye, not just the one you chose to link.
Stores usually buy visual search, recommendations, room visualization and 3D from four different vendors.
They all need the same thing first: a good description of every product. We build that once and run all four off it.

$260B lost every year in eCommerce. Not to a fraud. Not to a competition. To bad data, broken search, and rooms people can't picture themselves in.
Amazon built the fix for itself. @youzu_ai is building it for everyone else.

your customer uploads a room photo to see how a sofa looks.
Youzu Fill places it in.
they see it fits the corner, matches the rug, works with the light.
they buy it.
that's not a feature. that's the moment the return rate drops.
E-commerce is leaving the Catalog Era.
E-commerce discovery is still broken: shoppers start with images, screenshots and inspiration but most stores still rely on keywords.
Thatโs the gap Youzu is solving!

Shopping starts with a moment of inspiration. Just recorded a full demo of how @youzu_ai turns those moments into purchases.
Discovery โ Visualization โ Interactive Content โ Catalog Intelligence.

styled room photos convert 4x better than white backgrounds.
but customers see the perfect setup and can't buy the individual pieces.
Shop the Look turns every lifestyle image into a shopping catalog.
click the chair. add to cart. recreate the room.

product photography for furniture is insane.
you shoot it. customer buys it. returns it because it looked nothing like their room.
the whole loop costs a fortune and solves the wrong problem.
Magic Background solves that. Try it out -> https://t.co/r8RmPFIWxn
i saw a guy doing visual search for furniture today.
no https://t.co/DjSVPHn9Aw.
no @SyteAI .
no @ViSenze .
no cylindo.
he just sat there, manually scrolling through 10,000 products trying to match a photo.
like a psychopath.
Every other visual AI vendor solves one thing. Search, or background removal, or 3D. @youzu_ai puts all six into a single API: visual search, room visualization, auto-tagging, background removal, swap, and 3D. One integration. The full decision layer.
70% of shoppers abandon because they can't describe what they're looking for. Youzu Lens lets them search with any image - snap, find, buy. Visual search that actually works. https://t.co/K1VryA8GWk
Most e-commerce returns happen because shoppers can't picture the product before buying. Visual intelligence changes that. Let them see exactly how it looks in their own space before checkout. That's the gap @youzu_ai was built to close.
