???? ENCORE: ALL-IN-ONE AI SHOPPING ASSISTANT FOR DISCOVERING SECONDHAND GEMS ?? ?? The future of online shopping is looking promising. If, like me, you love digging for fashion gems on secondhand platforms, here is some good news.? Encore (YC F24) a new AI shopping assistant backed by Y Combinator, is entering the game with a first focus on secondhand fashion, helping users discover and find gems across all major resale platforms (Depop, eBay, Grailed, Poshmark, and more). This strategy makes total sense as: ?? Over 60% of fashion buyers shop on resale websites (according to a recent BOF/McKinsey report), and searching across multiple platforms is incredibly time-consuming. ?? Generalist AI shopping platforms, like ShopwithGoogle and Perplexity Shopping, offer average results for secondhand searches. ?? Daydream, which raised $50M earlier this year for its impressive AI-powered search and discovery platform covering the largest catalogue of brands, currently in beta, hasn’t integrated secondhand yet. Encore offers a conversational search engine that goes beyond shopping assistance. It provides inspiration, lets us follow product influencers, delivers unbiased reviews, shares styling tips, tracks trends, and even finds items inspired by TV shows, movies, or social media. Hopefully, Off-price integration is next, as 75% of fashion shoppers purchase Off-price items. Great job to the Encore team for redefining how we shop! ?I love the name, by the way. https://lnkd.in/gZndrarq #thefutureoffashion #aishopping #secondhand
