Building AI Outfit Detection
Most fashion apps rely on manual tagging. You upload a jacket, and you have to tell it: 'This is a jacket. It's black. It's outerwear.' That's tedious. We wanted fitted to understand clothing the way you do: instantly. So we built an AI system using OpenAI's Vision API that analyzes outfit photos in real-time. Upload a Pinterest link or any screenshot, and within seconds, our AI detects every piece: 'oversized black outerwear, fitted white top, baggy brown bottom, sturdy tan shoes.' Then it matches those descriptions to your actual closet. The technical challenge wasn't just detection. It was building a smart matching algorithm that understands 'light blue' could match your 'denim' jeans, or 'oversized hoodie' is similar to your 'black fleece.' We're still refining it, but the early results are promising: 85% accurate detection, 70% useful closet matches.
