by
Zalando
Context

Zalando worked with OpenAI to develop the Zalando Assistant, an AI-powered tool powered by GPT-4o mini that provides personalized content recommendations and streamlines product discovery across 25 markets in over 20 languages. They enhanced their evaluation framework with component-specific evaluations and improved few-shot prompting, and migrated from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4o mini for better multilingual and instruction-following capabilities.

Results

A 23% increase in product clicks; over 40% increase in products added to the wishlist; 5% decrease in "unhelpful" recommendations; scaled availability to 25 markets and 20+ languages; 12x traffic scaling without significant cost increase.
