Hey there! Welcome back to byte by ewiz commerce, a weekly AI digest specially curated for eCommerce growth leaders where we research, create, and share the most interesting, insightful stories from the world of AI to help you make faster and smarter eCommerce decisions.
We've all been there. Late-night scrolling, hopping from one tab to another, drowning in a sea of choices, only to end up more confused than when we started. "Will this be too dressy for brunch?" or "Is neon still in?" - the questions are endless.
Now, imagine a world where your digital shopping assistant isn't just an algorithm but feels like a confidante. Someone who gets your style, keeps up with Vogue, and is always ready with advice. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, it's about to become a reality.
Constantly pushing boundaries, Zalando is gearing up to introduce its fashion assistant, and guess what? It's powered by ChatGPT.
The beauty of ChatGPT lies in its ability to generate natural and engaging responses. It learns from each interaction, ensuring that the responses are accurate and resonate with the user's mood and tone. As Robert Gentz, Zalando's CEO, mentioned, this is just the beginning. The focus is on understanding customer interactions to offer the best possible shopping experience.
Tian Su, VP Personalization and Recommendation at Zalando, shares, “We are excited to be experimenting with ChatGPT to help our valued customers discover even more fashion they will love. This is just the beginning; we are eager to explore the potential that ChatGPT can bring to their shopping journey.”
1️⃣ Tailored Just for You: This isn't your run-of-the-mill product recommendation. It's like chatting with your fashion-savvy best friend who remembers every outfit you've ever loved.
For instance, ask "What should I wear for a wedding in Santorini in July?" and get a curated list of outfit recommendations tailored just for you. The future updates will even suggest accessories, shoes, and more to complete your look!
2️⃣ On-the-Spot Style Tips: Ever wished for a stylist on speed dial? From the perfect shoes for that summer dress to whether you should go boho or classic for the beach wedding, it's got you covered.
3️⃣ Always Learning & Evolving: The more you interact, the more it gets you. It's like that friend who knows you need a shopping spree after a tough week, even before you say it.
Zalando's new gem is set to offer more than just shopping advice. Think styling hacks, exclusive deals tailored for you, and the latest runway reports. It's like having the fashion world in your pocket.

The integration of ChatGPT in online shopping is a testament to the potential of AI to enhance user experience. It's not just about algorithms and data; it's about creating a seamless, personalized, and enjoyable shopping journey. As Zalando's CEO, Robert Gentz, aptly put it, this is just the beginning of a transformative journey in online retail.
Zalando envisions the fashion assistant as a trusted companion for its customers, ensuring privacy and AI protection. Future developments might include personalized fashion and beauty advice, outfit creation, and more.
