The problem
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
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.
Integrated the installer management system into Multichoice's payment process so installers are paid accurately and on time.
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.
