Stitch Fixing leaning heavily on AI

Stitch Fix has integrated generative AI into its core operations to enhance the personalization of its styling services. 

From the beginning, Stitch Fix has utilized data science, but recent advancements in AI have taken its capabilities to new heights.

Understanding Client Preferences: Stitch Fix uses embeddings from large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 to interpret client feedback. This enables stylists to efficiently curate selections from a vast inventory.

Generating Engaging Content: Generative AI aids in producing compelling advertisement copy and detailed product descriptions. GPT-3 generates ad headlines and descriptions that are then reviewed by copywriters.

Efficient Outfit Recommendations: The Outfit Creation Model (OCM) uses generative AI to suggest outfit combinations tailored to individual clients. By analyzing real-time inventory and past purchases, OCM generates millions of new outfit suggestions daily.

Our thoughts: Stitch Fix’s innovative use of generative AI sets a new standard in the fashion industry. By leveraging AI to enhance personalization and redefine customer experience, Stitch Fix is leading the charge and setting the bar for others to follow.
