Q. Could you provide insights into how Perfect Corp. integrates technology-driven experiences seamlessly into the shopping journey, and what benefits do these experiences offer to both brands and consumers?

Perfect Corp. is one of the first companies to recognize the untapped potential for AI and its practical application to address longstanding consumer pain points across the shopping journey. Our seamless integration of AI and AR-powered solutions is transforming how brands and consumers engage with one another and shop for products. Perfect Corp.’s AI and AR solutions have transformed modern beauty retail, enhancing the consumer experience and helping shoppers more easily discover the products that are right for their unique needs and style preferences. For example, Perfect’s hyper-realistic virtual try-on helps customers find their exact makeup shades for their skin tones in seconds and invites them to try before they buy, virtually experiencing jewelry, accessories, makeup, nail color, and hairstyles before making a purchasing decision. Additionally, Perfect Corp.’s AI-powered skin analysis  helps shoppers identify their core skin concerns, which in turn allows brands and retailers to provide personalized product regimen recommendations. This technology proves to create a more impactful and satisfying consumer shopping journey, increasing spend and decreasing return rates.
