In their own words
Clarifai Visual Search
Clarifai Visual Search lets people locate people, places, objects, topics, and products in images and videos without describing them with words. In ecommerce, shoppers can submit a photo to find similar products, identify purchasable items within rooms or outfits, and receive alternatives when an item is unavailable. Search can rank whole images by visual similarity or use detected regions for localized searches. The API supports semantic similarity retrieval, AI-generated vector embeddings, metadata filters, and combined conditions. One object-search workflow accepts SVG, PNG, JPG, or GIF files up to 800 by 400 pixels. Deployment is available through API, web, or self-hosted arrangements, including shared or dedicated cloud, a customer VPC, on-premise, and edge environments. Clarifai lists object detection, image classification, face recognition, OCR, and custom models. It also lists integrations such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Databricks, Unstructured.io, CrewAI, and Vercel. Clarifai says customer data is private by default, is not used for training unless shared with the Community, and is covered by SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
