Fashion Agent

Fashion Agent that automates sales workflows using your data and tools.

The challenge

Personal styling only ever reaches the top tier of customers, and everyone else browses a grid of single products. Size advice is guesswork, a large share of returns come down to fit rather than taste, and what customers actually keep never reaches the buying team.

The outcome

Azure AI Search filters live stock by size and season, a Microsoft Foundry agent assembles complete looks rather than single items, and Azure Machine Learning predicts size from measurements and return history. VIP clients and unusual briefs pass to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.

01 — Architecture

End-to-end architecture

A shopper describes an occasion, a budget and a taste. The Foundry agent filters live stock by size and season, assembles complete looks rather than single products, and advises fit from measurements and return history. VIP clients and unusual briefs go to a human stylist.

02 — Workflow

Process & decision workflow

How a brief becomes a wearable look — understand, search, style, fit and present, then branch. A confident match is shown with sizes and alternatives, while a VIP client or an unusual request hands across to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.

04 — AI

What the agent consumes

The capabilities the agent applies to every look, and the line it does not cross.

AI capabilities embedded in the agent

  • Preference extraction
  • Visual attribute tagging
  • Outfit composition
  • Size and fit prediction
  • Trend and season awareness
  • Retrieval-augmented generation
  • Stock-aware recommendation
  • Look narration
  • Return-reason classification
  • Multilingual conversation
  • Sell-through analytics
  • Workflow orchestration

AI responsibility boundaries

The agent styles from live stock and published product data, and never claims a fit it cannot support from measurements or return history. It does not comment on body image, hold payment data or apply discounts outside campaign rules. VIP clients and unusual briefs go to a human stylist with the brief already prepared.

05 — Personalization

Personalization & evolving process

The same methodology applies to every agent in the catalog. Tune the brand, the styling template, the fit rules and the value model — the page structure stays identical.

Brand & catalogue profile

Define the brand voice, categories, size systems, markets and seasonal calendar in scope. The personas are the shopper, the personal stylist, the buyer and the merchandising team.

06 — Impact

Key outcomes & business impact

Starting targets for the value case — validate each one against the customer baseline during discovery.

  • Basket size+20%Complete looks rather than single-product baskets.
  • Return rate−15%Evidence-based size advice before the order is placed.
  • Styling capacityPersonal styling extends beyond the VIP client list.
  • Fit evidencePer sizeEvery recommendation cites the data behind it.
