Smartshopper.ai

The User initiates the chat and Messenger welcomes the user
The user asks for a product. The Messenger replies with few matching products.
The user asks for more options based on a different attribute i.e. color

Inspiration

Facebook Marketplace has tons of products, well categorized but the user has to go through a lot of products and involves a lot of time to get the one that matches their taste & purchase criteria and even after finding the product they are unsure on the product experience

What it does

Smartshopper.ai is an AI assistant powered by Augmented reality that helps you find products you are looking for by by simply answering few questions to our AI messenger chatbot and get recommendations based on your purchase requirements & creates an augmented reality experience of the product at your living room or wherever u want to place it to give u a much more realistic experience of the product so that you can make quick & informed shopping decisions

How we built it

We built a Node.js app integrating with the Facebook messenger platform to interact with the customer needs using machine learning NLP engine developed in python (in the backend), get products from the Marketplace/or any third party vendor. We also developed an augmented reality version of the product developed using Spark AR

Challenges we ran into

To understand/ integrate facebook messenger and spark AR to create the AR experience
Use of Machine learning NLP to understand user needs in a real-time conversation
