1. Article: This ‘shopbot’ allows you to find out where an outfit is from simply by taking a photo<\/span><\/h3>\n

This month, Business Insider wrote an article on one of the latest technologies which could revolutionize the shopping experience. The article introduces a \u201cshopbot\u201d from <\/span>Glamix<\/span> which would allow shoppers to snap a picture of an outfit to find out where it is from.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the user needs to do is send a picture to the Glamix Facebook Messenger and the AI-bot uses image recognition and automatic responses to send back suggestions of the exact or similar products. This could allow shoppers to even find a cheaper alternative! <\/span>Read the full blog<\/span> to find out more about how this revolutionary smartphone technology works.<\/span><\/p>\n
