The problem
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
Environment provisioning, session management and resource monitoring, designed for security, multi-tenancy and concurrent workloads.
A WhatsApp-based job platform (Altur), Harambee Youth Accelerator's move from a mobisite to WhatsApp, and eButler's WhatsApp ordering with payments through Flash.
What was built
Fashionly grounds recommendations in the user's wardrobe, builds outfits from existing items and recommends products only where a genuine wardrobe gap exists. Khanya, a LangGraph stylist with about 15 typed tools, handles wardrobe access, catalogue search, saved looks and human-stylist bookings.
