See something you can't live without? Upload a picture, a description, or a combination of both and we'll help you find it! Shimmer, powered by Mixpeek, uses A.I. to understand exactly what you're looking for.
Have you ever seen a product or outfit that you liked but didn't know how to find online? Maybe you want a certain aesthetic, and putting that idea into words isn't really working.
Try typing "green shoulder ties dress flowy bottom" into your favorite apparel store's search bar. If it doesn't return the right results, they're likely not using visual discovery.

With Shimmer, powered by Mixpeek, shoppers can even combine pictures with words to find exactly what they're looking for. Search likes "I want this product, but in a retro style" are possible.
Starting with the science: Amazon published a paper where they introduced visual search via an A/B test and noticed an entire 2% increase in CTR (clickthrough-rate).
For a company that does 1.6m purchases per day [1], that's an instant increase in 32,000 purchases. Per day. This means every store that isn't using this technology is losing out on sales.
You can even select the products you like, and refine them with another search. This takes the images you like and combines them with text to deliver results that overlap in similarity.

Who hunted Shimmer?
Shimmer was hunted by Ethan Steininger. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
