THE TECHNOLOGY
One conversation
Multiple layers of intelligence
BESTIE brings together vision, voice, memory and real-world context within a single conversational experience.
BESTIE combines visual input, conversational voice, persistent wardrobe and preference context, and real-world information within a single interaction.
The result is not simply an answer to a prompt. It is a conversation informed by what BESTIE can see, what she knows, and what is happening in the moment.
VISION

BUILT INTO THE PRODUCT
From architecture to a working mobile experience
BESTIE brings these intelligence layers together within a working mobile application. The current product integrates camera-based visual input, conversational voice, wardrobe memory and contextual information within a continuous user experience.
The system has progressed beyond interface design and concept development into real-device implementation. BESTIE has been built and tested on iPhone and deployed through Apple TestFlight for beta testing.
VISUAL INPUT
Camera-based visual input allows BESTIE to interpret the outfit and visual information presented by the user.

CONTEXTUAL REASONING

PERSONAL MEMORY
Relevant preferences and wardrobe context can persist beyond an individual interaction, allowing future conversations to become more personally informed
