The Problem

Shopping online is still broken

AI can write poetry and generate art, but it still can't help you find the right laptop. Here's why.

πŸ”

Search β‰  Understanding

Keyword search returns SEO-optimized results, not the best products. You search for "best headphones for commuting" and get sponsored ads.

⭐

Review Overload

4,000 reviews on a product. Which ones matter? Are they fake? What do real users actually think after 6 months? Nobody has time for this.

πŸ’°

Price Opacity

Is this a real deal or a fake markdown? Was it cheaper last week? Will it drop next month? Dynamic pricing exploits you.

πŸ€–

AI Recommendations Are Shallow

"People also bought" isn't intelligence. Current AI shopping tools are just general chatbots with a product search bolted on.

πŸ”’

Walled Gardens

Amazon recommends Amazon products. Google shows who pays. No tool gives you genuinely unbiased, cross-retailer recommendations.

🧠

No Real Understanding

"Gift for my mom who's getting into birdwatching" β€” no AI shopping tool today can reason about this. SAM will.

The Solution

Meet SAM

Shopping Agent Model β€” a domain-specific AI that actually understands products, reviews, prices, and most importantly, what you need.

Intent Understanding

Knows Why You're Shopping

SAM doesn't just match keywords. It understands your context β€” who it's for, how it'll be used, your budget constraints, and what actually matters to you.

Review Synthesis

Reads Every Review So You Don't Have To

Deep analysis of thousands of reviews. Extracts real insights per feature, detects fakes, tracks quality changes over time. Not just star ratings.

Price Intelligence

Knows When to Buy

Historical pricing, cross-retailer comparison, deal quality scoring, and price prediction. Never overpay again.

Smart Comparison

Compares Like an Expert

Beyond specs: real-world performance, total cost of ownership, ecosystem lock-in, future-proofing. The comparison a knowledgeable friend would give you.

Research

Built on Science

SAM isn't just a product β€” it's a research program. We're publishing papers, releasing benchmarks, and advancing the field.

NeurIPS 2026 (Target)

SAM-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for AI Shopping Reasoning

The first standardized benchmark for evaluating AI on shopping tasks. 10,000+ human-annotated scenarios.

ICML 2027 (Target)

SAM-1: A Domain-Specific Foundation Model for Commerce Reasoning

Training methodology, architecture, and evaluation of a purpose-built shopping AI model.

KDD 2027 (Target)

Built in the Open

SAM's models, benchmarks, and datasets are open-source. We believe the best shopping AI should be transparent, auditable, and community-driven.
