Transform Retail Engagement with Dayhuff’s GuidedAI SnapMatch Assistant

Updated: Aug 11

# Transforming Retail with IBM WatsonX Orchestrate or AWS Amazon Q Developer


Visual search is revolutionizing the retail landscape. It allows shoppers to find products using a photo instead of typing out words. With The Dayhuff Group’s GuidedAI SnapMatch Assistant, retailers can harness this powerful feature right within their chat interface. This integration is seamless, built into their online stores using IBM WatsonX Orchestrate or AWS Amazon Q Developer.


This innovative assistant enables customers to snap a picture of any product, initiate a chat, and instantly discover visually similar or exact matches from the retailer’s inventory. This process drives engagement, personalization, and conversions like never before.


🔍 How SnapMatch Assistant Works


  • Image Upload via Chat: Customers can upload a photo of a product. This could be from social media, a magazine, or something they saw in-store. They do this directly into a guided chat experience.

  • AI-Powered Image Analysis: GuidedAI, powered by WatsonX or Amazon Q, analyzes the photo using machine learning and computer vision. It detects attributes like color, texture, pattern, and brand elements.

  • Real-Time Product Matching: The assistant searches the retailer’s catalog using visual AI. It returns exact or similar items based on the image’s features.

  • Conversational Results Delivery: In an intuitive chat flow, customers receive personalized recommendations. These include pricing, availability, reviews, and promotional information.


💡 Benefits of Guided Visual Search in Retail


1. Improved Product Discovery

SnapMatch helps customers find what they want—even if they don’t know the product name. A simple photo leads directly to a curated list of similar products.


2. Elevated Customer Experience

By engaging customers in natural conversation and reducing friction in search, SnapMatch delivers a more intuitive and enjoyable shopping journey.


3. Hyper-Personalization

4. Seamless Online-Offline Bridge

5. Higher Conversion Rates

Shoppers using visual search often have clear purchase intent. SnapMatch streamlines their journey and shortens the path to checkout.


6. Frictionless Navigation

No more clumsy keyword guessing or endless filtering—just snap, match, and buy.
