Aurelio Useche, CEO of Relevium Technologies stated: "Initially announced on September 7, 2017, Relevium has been looking at how to integrate AI and machine learning in the e-commerce space." Mr. Useche continued: "The team quickly found out that the biggest hurdle was to have enough data in order to gain insight on consumer behaviour. Tagspire solves this issue as all user data is generated in the Tagspire ecosystem and then pushed out to platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. The team at Relevium believes that the Tagspire platform is a perfect candidate for blockchain integration as a network token and an ICO."

Karim Hijazi, President and Founder of Quantomic LLC stated: "I created Tagspire when witnessing the rise of visual platforms like Pinterest, Instagram and Snapchat; where immense amounts of time and creativity were being spent producing content. However, effective monetization of that content was still nascent."

Mr. Hijazi went on to state: "With Tagspire, the goal was to create a truly immersive, fun and social marketplace platform that would appeal not only to entrepreneurial consumers, but also to influencers and brands alike. I believe that user-generated content leveraged appropriately and effectively will be the next big disruptor in retail; not to mention the unparalleled intelligence that could be gleaned from it."

What is Tagspire?

Tagspire is a virtual retail and visual commerce platform, the purpose of which is to deliver high fidelity marketing intelligence to brands, harvested from user-generated content. Presently, Tagspire can be used on iOS, Android and as a WebApp and browser extension. When images are captured and pushed to social media, users earn a commission on any sales made from items/objects that are tagged in their photos or videos.

Tagspire is a sales engine inside an Instagram-like environment capitalizing on discovery and the "impulse purchase" facilitated by a familiar face. Auto-tagging functionalities are currently being deployed and the artificial intelligence engine - using Google TensorFlow - can recognize over 35,000,000 retail products ranging from apparel to electronics and cosmetics. The Tagspire technology is in constant evolution and can already auto-generate tags on static images as well as in video clips. Tagspire currently connects to such retailers as: Best Buy, Avon, Target and American Eagle. A full list of currently connect retails can be found at tagspire.com/retailers.

To illustrate the power of the technology, click here to watch a short video illustrating the Tagspire mobile app. The technology identifies an Apple iPhone in a photo taken by the app, and then auto-tags the product in the image, linking it to the apple.com purchase page. Using the power of Google TensorFlow machine learning, the Tagspire neural network has been trained to identify an "Apple iPhone Red Product" and then link it automatically, in this case, to the buy page on apple.com. The final post is embedded here (make sure to roll your mouse over, or tap the tag icon to see a preview of the buy page).

Tagspire is currently operational and is available in the Apple iTunes Store for iOS (click here), as well as for Android (click here) in the Google Play Store.
