Recently, WEIMOB INC (2013.HK) has commenced the beta testing of its "AI Fitting" solution. It is reported that this AI application is built upon Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen large model and targets e-commerce retail merchants, with the goal of helping apparel brands and retailers utilize AI technology to provide consumers with a "what you see is what you get" immersive shopping experience.
Currently, for retail e-commerce brands, especially in the apparel industry, "high return rates" and "low conversion rates" are core problems that have long plagued merchant profitability. Traditional online shopping lacks a fitting experience, leading to frequent issues such as non-standard sizing and products not matching their descriptions. Weimob's AI Fitting feature directly addresses this pain point.
Some brand merchants participating in the beta test indicated that end consumers only need to upload a personal photo on the brand's mall to receive real-time clothing outfit suggestions. This is expected to not only help resolve consumer pain points in clothing purchase decisions but also assist merchants in improving conversion efficiency and reducing return rates, thereby achieving better performance growth.
"Amid the global wave of AI technology rapidly moving from the model layer to the application layer, retail e-commerce is becoming a core testing ground and a high-value frontier. AI applications hold immense value in vertical industry scenarios," said Xiao Feng, Vice President of Technology at Weimob Group. "By providing a highly realistic 'virtual try-on' experience, the AI Fitting capability is expected to positively impact the resolution of pain points in key business processes for retail brands."
It is understood that the core capabilities of Weimob's "AI Fitting" solution are powered by Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen model and integrate Weimob's self-developed clothing product recognition model and deep industry know-how. It possesses combined capabilities such as "recreating realistic try-on effects" and "intelligent outfit recommendations." Weimob also plans to empower its B2B retail clients with this AI Fitting solution, with future plans to integrate its shopping assistant Agent with the AI Fitting capability. The AI shopping assistant can gain insights into user needs and provide intelligent recommendations based on season, material, and dressing style, realizing a "what you see is what you get" consumption experience.
Over the past two years, Weimob Group has continuously iterated its AI application capabilities around its core scenarios in the vertical retail e-commerce industry, aiming to enhance retail clients' operational efficiency and performance growth by deeply exploring the value of AI applications. Industry analysis suggests that positioned in the high-potential, high-growth track of AI applications for the next decade, Weimob, by continuously expanding AI application scenarios—this "golden shovel"—is poised to welcome a new round of value revaluation while helping its clients succeed.
