Fanatics used OpenAI's Codex to build "Shop the Look", which suggests matching outfits from a catalogue of 1.5 million items

CNBC· 26 Oct

Fanatics sells more than 1.5 million items at any moment and adds upwards of a thousand new products each week, so shoppers' sessions often ran past 30 minutes. Its new Shop the Look feature, built with OpenAI's Codex, suggests matching in-stock items on each product page by team and style. Fanatics says views of recommended items rose 10 percent after launch.

  • If you run an online shop, look at whether your product pages suggest what goes with an item, since a hat or socks next to a jersey is the sort of add-on this feature targets.
  • When you shop online, treat the suggested extras as a nudge, and compare the total before you check out.
