At Curalate, we're fascinated by the future of computer vision and machine learning. Those technologies have made serious strides over the past few years and the future looks incredibly bright. Curalate is doing its part to define how artificial intelligence meets commerce with Intelligent Product Tagging -- technology that can analyze an image and use machine learning to identify the products depicted within that image. For example: If you have a photo of a woman wearing a floral dress, our technology can identify that dress, then visually match it with the corresponding product in a brand's catalog -- making the image shoppable. We expect to start introducing this tool to clients in 2017, but it's actually a much longer-term research effort for Curalate's talented product development team.
