New workflows give developers generative AI and 3D visualization technology to improve online and in-store shopping experiences
NRF — NVIDIA today announced the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for Retail Shopping Assistant. This is a generative AI reference workflow designed to transform your online and in-store shopping experience.
Built on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse™ platforms, this blueprint helps developers create AI-powered digital assistants that work alongside and support human workers. These digital assistants can provide the expertise of a company’s best salespeople, stylists, and designers to improve customer satisfaction and employee efficiency.
Using NVIDIA NeMo™ microservices provided within Blueprints, these highly skilled AI shopping assistants understand text- and image-based prompts, search for multiple products simultaneously, and search for travel words. You can complete complex tasks like creating a robe and answer contextual questions like whether the item is correct. It’s waterproof.
Developers can use the Omniverse platform in conjunction with spatial scanning solutions to enable AI agents to present products in physically accurate virtual environments. For example, a customer looking to buy a sofa can preview how the furniture will look in their living room.
With these advanced capabilities, AI agents can improve the customer experience through highly intelligent and personalized suggestions for complementary products and upgrades, resulting in higher conversion rates, lower product return rates, and average order size. It is designed to increase the number of
“AI agents can improve the shopping experience, turning what can otherwise be impersonal transactions into smarter, more enjoyable interactions,” says NVIDIA’s Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Quick Service Restaurants. said Azita Martin, vice president of AI. “Shoppers everywhere want intelligent product recommendations, personalized interactions, and lightning-fast response times. AI agents built using the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for Retail Shopping Assistants deliver We can provide superior, always-on service to all our customers.”

NVIDIA AI drives business impact and improves customer experience
AI shopping assistants enable retailers to offer more engaging customer interactions 24 hours a day, around the world.
NVIDIA’s Retail Shopping Assistant Blueprint incorporates NVIDIA AI enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM™ Microservices for Meta Llama 3.3 70B and NVIDIA NeMo Retriever for microservice embedding and reranking, for large-scale Deliver AI performance. It also includes NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails safety features and NVIDIA Omniverse for design and visualization capabilities.
The main features of Blueprints are:
Multimodal and multiquery capabilities allow consumers to use text and images in their queries. Integration with large-scale language models (LLMs) brings inference capabilities to AI shopping assistants for natural, human-like interactions. This includes NVIDIA Llama Nemotron LLM, which was announced this week at the CES trade show and is expected to be available later this year. The ability to ingest text and image data from a retailer’s product catalog and deliver accurate, context-aware responses. Your brand value is protected with guardrails that ensure conversations between customers and shopping assistants are safe and on-topic. Cutting-edge simulation tools that help customers visualize products in physically accurate spaces.
Shopping Assistant Blueprints are the latest addition to the growing NVIDIA AI Blueprint repository, many of which were announced at CES earlier this week. This includes a new version of NVIDIA for Video Search and Summarization that helps retailers build video analytics AI agents that can analyze large volumes of live and archived content to increase operational efficiency and safety. Contains AI Blueprints.
Bringing Retail Shopping Assistant to retailers around the world
NVIDIA’s global partner network leverages Shopping Assistant Blueprint’s foundational technology to develop and deploy innovative solutions for the $30 trillion retail industry. According to eMarketer, this industry is expected to grow to $35 trillion by 2028, creating a huge opportunity for transformation and growth.
In addition to SoftServe, NVIDIA partners Dell Technologies and World Wide Technology (WWT) will use this blueprint in early access to make it easier for retailers to adopt AI.
“Retail leaders leveraging AI-powered personalization are creating an unprecedented competitive advantage in today’s digital-first market,” said Adam Dumay, global vice president of retail at WWT. Masu. “Leveraging this new retail shopping assistant blueprint from NVIDIA, we, along with our expert team of data scientists, retail consultants, and AI architects, are investing nearly $1 billion in advanced technology centers and AI proving grounds.
