Ep. 31: This visual AI could change the way we shop forever
with Josh Lanzet, founder and CEO of Silvr
In this week’s episode I’m joined by Josh Lanzet, founder and CEO of Silvr, a cutting-edge AI platform that’s changing the way we shop for clothing. We dive into the frustrating world of online fashion discovery and explore how Silvr’s “Shazam for clothing” technology is bridging the gap between inspiration and purchase.
Together, we explore how this technology isn’t just revolutionizing shopping but also reshaping our understanding of AI. Josh shares how Silvr’s visual intelligence engine trained on over 500 million images can instantly identify clothing from any visual source, whether it’s a TikTok video, a TV show, or a real-life encounter. Silvr makes it possible to go from seeing something you love to owning it with just a snap or screenshot.
About Josh Lanzet:
Josh Lanzet built Silvr because he was tired of seeing incredible clothing around him—starting with a grey sweatshirt on the show Ozark—with no easy way to identify it and purchase it. After spending thirteen years at Google working with major media companies, Lanzet developed a deep understanding of technology at the intersection of content, commerce, and visual AI. He’s using his passion and experience to build a technology that finally solves fashion’s age-old “where did you get that?” problem.
