SoftServe, a premier IT consulting and digital services provider, introduced the SoftServe Gen AI Retail Shopping Assistant, the newest Generative AI (Gen AI) solution launched at NRF 2025 aiming to invigorate the retail experience. This new offering is built with the latest NVIDIA AI Blueprint for retail shopping assistants, which includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). With visual search and virtual try-on features, personalized recommendations, and seamless omnichannel shopping capabilities, the SoftServe Gen AI Retail Shopping Assistant minimizes costly returns, enhances product discovery, and improves operational efficiency, creating a more enjoyable shopping experience for consumers.
Retailers currently struggle with the inability to guide customers to the right purchase when their vast assortment of clothing and products overwhelm the shopper. This calls for better solutions to streamline product discovery, customize recommendations, and simplify choices to help shoppers navigate large inventories without frustration and decision fatigue. The SoftServe Gen AI Retail Shopping Assistant supports efficient decision-making by using its knowledge base of fashion and the user’s description, initial request, and specific preferences to identify the most suitable items and produce tailored shopping suggestions for every user.

“Today’s retail industry demands smarter solutions for both buyers and sellers,” said Ivan Leshko, EVP North America at SoftServe. “Pairing Gen AI and Conversational AI with virtual fitting technologies increases shopping engagement, removes any guesswork or uncertainty at the checkout, and restores confidence in the buying process for retailers and customers.
