Our take
The search industry has drastically improved since its inception, with advancements such as natural language processing propelling engines’ abilities to provide relevant results. However, search engines still do not process visual information in the way we might expect – and visual searches lag well behind their word-input counterpart. Nyris, founded in 2015, now offers the market-leading turnkey visual search solution, to find products in seconds and save countless wasted hours.
Visual search has seen strong investment from search industry giants, though Nyris is one of the first companies to employ Computer Vision. This allows digital systems to distinguish objects by a range of parameters such as hue and saturation, vastly improving image processing capabilities. Almost all major tech players are working on visual search technologies, but Nyris has found its unique focus in visual search for corporate customers.
With a broad range of uses, from search apps for consumers to warehouse inventory management, Nyris’ technology has a promising future in the industry. They have attracted impressive clients including T Mobile, Metro, and IKEA.
