Use Cases

Five Agents for a Full Beauty Advisory Loop

Deliver personalized consultations that replicate the in-store beauty advisor experience online.

Skin Profile Consultation Agent

Runs a conversational intake — skin type, concerns, climate, current routine — and builds a structured customer profile that grounds every downstream recommendation, replacing static quiz funnels with a real dialogue.

  • Multi-turn skin-type and concern intake
  • Climate and lifestyle-aware adjustments
  • Structured profile saved to customer metafields
  • Re-engages returning customers with updated routines

Shade & Tone Matching (Vision Model)

A vision-language model analyzes an uploaded selfie under normal lighting, extracts undertone and depth, and cross-references your actual variant catalog to recommend the correct foundation, concealer, or powder shade code.

  • Undertone and depth extraction from photo
  • Matches against real in-stock variant SKUs
  • Confidence score shown, not a guess presented as fact
  • Photo discarded immediately after processing

Routine Bundle Builder

Once a profile exists, the agent assembles a complete AM/PM routine — cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, SPF — checking real-time stock and adding the full bundle to a draft cart with one conversational confirmation.

  • Full routine assembly from single profile
  • Real-time inventory check before bundling
  • One-click draft cart handoff
  • Complementary upsell suggestions grounded in semantic similarity

Ingredient & Allergy Safety Check

Cross-references stated allergies or sensitivities (fragrance-free, sulfate-free, pregnancy-safe) against your ingredient metadata before ever recommending a product, flagging conflicts instead of silently ignoring them.

  • Ingredient metadata cross-check per recommendation
  • Explicit conflict flagging, not silent filtering
  • Supports common exclusion categories out of the box
  • Configurable to your specific ingredient taxonomy

Post-Purchase Skincare Coach

Follows up after delivery with usage guidance and check-ins timed to product consumption rate, catching early dissatisfaction and prompting timely replenishment before the customer even thinks to reorder.

  • Usage timing and application guidance follow-ups
  • Consumption-rate-based replenishment prompts
  • Early dissatisfaction detection and escalation
  • Review request routing at the optimal moment

How It Works

From First Message to Draft Cart

01

Conversational Intake

The agent runs a structured skin/hair profile questionnaire through chat, not a static multi-page quiz form.

02

Visual Shade Analysis

If shade matching applies, a vision model processes the uploaded photo and extracts tone data in real time.

03

Semantic Catalog Match

Profile and shade data are matched against your live product catalog via vector search, respecting current stock.

04

Cart Handoff & Follow-Up

Recommendations move to a draft cart for one-click checkout, with post-purchase coaching scheduled automatically.

Trust & Data Privacy

Built for Sensitive Beauty Data

Skin photos and health-adjacent data need stricter handling than a typical product query — here's how we treat it.

Zero Photo Retention

Uploaded shade-match photos are processed in memory and discarded immediately — never stored, never used for model training.

No Medical Claims

Agents are scoped to cosmetic recommendation language only, with disclaimers directing dermatological concerns to a professional.

GDPR / CCPA Aligned

Customer profile data (skin type, concerns) is stored in your own Shopify metafields — never a third-party database outside your control.

Transparent Confidence Scoring

Shade match results show a confidence score rather than presenting an automated guess as certain fact.

FAQ

Solutions FAQs

Answers regarding our vision model shade match pipelines and data handling.

We run custom vision model endpoints that analyze user-uploaded face photos under normal lighting, extracting tone and depth values to match with variant catalog attributes in real time. The result includes a confidence score, and the photo is discarded immediately after processing.
