The reliability of the electric grid is critical.

From handling demand surges and evolving power needs to preventing infrastructure failures that can cause wildfires, utility companies have a lot to keep tabs on.

Buzz Solutions — a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups — is helping by using AI to improve how utilities monitor and maintain their infrastructure.

Kaitlyn Albertoli, CEO and cofounder of Buzz Solutions joined the AI Podcast to explain how the company’s vision AI technology helps utilities spot potential problems faster.

Buzz Solutions helps utility companies analyze the massive amounts of inspection data collected by drones and helicopters. The company’s proprietary machine learning algorithms identify potential issues ranging from broken and rusted components to encroaching vegetation and unwelcome wildlife visits — before they cause outages or wildfires.

To help address substation issues, Buzz Solutions built PowerGUARD, a container-based application pipeline that uses AI to analyze video streams from substation cameras in real time. It detects security, safety, fire, smoke and equipment issues, annotates the video, then sends alerts via email or to a dashboard.

PowerGUARD uses the NVIDIA DeepStream software development kit for processing and inference of video streams used in real-time video analytics. DeepStream runs within the NVIDIA Metropolis framework on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform or on cloud-based virtual machines ‌to improve performance, reduce costs and save time.

Albertoli believes AI is just getting started in the utility industry, as it enables workers to take action rather than spend months reviewing images manually. “We are just at the tip of the iceberg of seeing AI enter into the energy sector and start to provide real value,” she said.

Advances in physical AI are enabling organizations to embrace embodied AI across their operations, bringing unprecedented intelligence, automation and productivity to the world’s factories, warehouses and industrial facilities.

Humanoid robots can work alongside human teams, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can navigate complex warehouse environments, and intelligent cameras and visual AI agents can monitor and optimize entire facilities. In these ways, physical AI is becoming integral to today’s industrial operations.

Helping industrial enterprises accelerate the development, testing and deployment of physical AI, the Mega NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for testing multi-robot fleets in digital twins is now available in preview on build.nvidia.com.

At Hannover Messe — a trade show on industrial development running through April 4 in Germany — manufacturing, warehousing and supply chain leaders such as Accenture and Schaeffler are showcasing their adoption of the blueprint to simulate Digit, a humanoid robot from Agility Robotics, and discussing how they use industrial AI and digital twins to optimize facility layouts, material flow and collaboration between humans and robots inside complex production environments.

In addition, NVIDIA  ecosystem partners — including Delta Electronics, Rockwell Automation and Siemens — are announcing further integrations with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA AI technologies at the event.

Digital Twins — the Training Ground for Physical AI

Industrial facility digital twins are physically accurate virtual replicas of real-world facilities that serve as critical testing grounds for simulating and validating physical AI and how robots and autonomous fleets interact, collaborate and tackle complex tasks before  deployment.

Developers can use NVIDIA Omniverse platform technologies and the Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) framework to develop digital twins of their facilities and processes. This simulation-first approach dramatically accelerates development cycles while reducing the costs and risks associated with real-world testing.

Built for a Diversity of Robots and AI Agents

The Mega blueprint equips industrial enterprises with a reference workflow for combining sensor simulation and synthetic data generation to simulate complex human-robot interactions and verify the performance of autonomous systems in industrial digital twins.

Enterprises can use Mega to test various robot brains and policies at scale for mobility, navigation, dexterity and spatial reasoning. This enables fleets comprising different types of robots to work together as a coordinated system.

As robot brains execute their missions in simulation, they perceive the results of their actions through sensor simulation and plan their next action. This cycle continues until the policies are refined and ready for deployment.

Once validated, these policies are deployed to real robots, which continue to learn from their environment — sending sensor information back through the entire loop and creating a continuous learning and improvement cycle.

Transforming Industrial Operations With Visual AI Agents

In addition to AMRs and humanoid robots, advanced visual AI agents extract information from live and recorded video data, enabling new levels of intelligence and automation. These visual AI agents bring real-time contextual awareness to robots and help to improve worker safety, maintain warehouse compliance, support visual inspection and maximize space utilization.

To support developers building visual AI agents, which can be integrated with the Mega blueprint, NVIDIA last year announced an AI Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS). At Hannover Messe, leading partners are featuring how they use the VSS blueprint to improve productivity and operational efficiency.

Accelerating Industrial Digitalization

The industrial world is now experiencing its software-defined moment, with visual AI agents and digital twins as the training ground for physical AI.

Join NVIDIA and its partners at Hannover Messe to discover how AI agents and real-time simulation, powered by NVIDIA’s Three Computer Solution, are reshaping industrial workflows and driving innovation, automation and efficiency in manufacturing.

Read the technical blog to learn more about the Mega blueprint for industrial robot fleets. See the blueprint in action on this interactive demo page.

Video editing workflows are getting a lot more colorful.

Adobe recently announced massive updates to Adobe Premiere Pro (beta) and Adobe Media Encoder, including PC support for 4:2:2 video color editing.

The 4:2:2 color format is a game changer for professional video editors, as it retains nearly as much color information as 4:4:4 while greatly reducing file size. This improves color grading and chroma keying — using color information to isolate a specific range of hues — while maximizing efficiency and quality.

In addition, new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 laptops — built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture — are out now, accelerating 4:2:2 and advanced AI-powered features across video-editing workflows.

Adobe and other industry partners are attending NAB Show — a premier gathering of over 100,000 leaders in the broadcast, media and entertainment industries — running April 5-9 in Las Vegas. Professionals in these fields will come together for education, networking and exploring the latest technologies and trends.

Shed Some Color on 4:2:2

Consumer cameras that are limited to 4:2:0 color compression capture a limited amount of color information. 4:2:0 is acceptable for video playback on browsers, but professional video editors often rely on cameras that capture 4:2:2 color depth with precise color accuracy to ensure higher color fidelity.

Adobe Premiere Pro’s beta with 4:2:2 means video data can now provide double the color information with just a 1.3x increase in raw file size over 4:2:0. This unlocks several key benefits within professional video-production workflows:

Increased Color Accuracy: 10-bit 4:2:2 retains more color information compared with 8-bit 4:2:0, leading to more accurate color representation and better color grading results.

More Flexibility: The extra color data allows for increased flexibility during color correction and grading, enabling more nuanced adjustments and corrections.

Improved Keying: 4:2:2 is particularly beneficial for keying — including green screening — as it enables cleaner, more accurate extraction of the subject from the background, as well as cleaner edges of small keyed objects like hair.

Smaller File Sizes: Compared with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 reduces file sizes without significantly impacting picture quality, offering an optimal balance between quality and storage.

Combining 4:2:2 support with NVIDIA hardware increases creative possibilities.

Advanced Video Editing

Prosumer-grade cameras from most major brands support HEVC and H.264 10-bit 4:2:2 formats to deliver superior image quality, manageable file sizes and the flexibility needed for professional video production.

GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs paired with Microsoft Windows 11 come with GPU-powered decode acceleration in HEVC and H.264 10-bit 4:2:2 formats.

GPU-powered decode enables faster-than-real-time playback without stuttering, the ability to work with original camera media instead of proxies, smoother timeline responsiveness and reduced CPU load — freeing system resources for multi-app workflows and creative tasks.

RTX 50 Series’ 4:2:2 hardware can decode up to six 4K 60 frames-per-second video sources on an RTX 5090-enabled studio PC, enabling smooth multi-camera video-editing workflows on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Video exports are also accelerated with NVIDIA’s ninth-generation encoder and sixth-generation decoder.

In GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, the ninth-generation NVIDIA video encoder, NVENC, offers an 8% BD-BR upgrade in video encoding efficiency when exporting to HEVC on Premiere Pro.

Adobe AI Accelerated

Adobe delivers an impressive array of advanced AI features for idea generation, enabling streamlined processes, improved productivity and opportunities to explore new artistic avenues — all accelerated by NVIDIA RTX GPUs.

For example, Adobe Media Intelligence, a feature in Premiere Pro (beta) and After Effects (beta), uses AI to analyze footage and apply semantic tags to clips. This lets users more easily and quickly find specific footage by describing its content, including objects, locations, camera angles and even transcribed spoken words.

Media Intelligence runs 30% faster on the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU compared with the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU.

In addition, the Enhance Speech feature in Premiere Pro (beta) improves the quality of recorded speech by filtering out unwanted noise and making the audio sound clearer and more professional. Enhance Speech runs 7x faster on GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs compared to the MacBook Pro M4 Max.

Visit Adobe’s Premiere Pro page to download a free trial of the beta and explore the slew of AI-powered features across the Adobe Creative Cloud and Substance 3D apps.

Unleash (AI)nfinite Possibilities

GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 Series laptops deliver the largest-ever generational leap in portable performance for creating, gaming and all things AI.

They can run creative generative AI models such as Flux up to 2x faster in a smaller memory footprint, compared with the previous generation.

The previously mentioned ninth-generation NVIDIA encoders elevate video editing and livestreaming workflows, and come with NVIDIA DLSS 4 technology and up to 24GB of VRAM to tackle massive 3D projects.

NVIDIA Max-Q hardware technologies use AI to optimize every aspect of a laptop — the GPU, CPU, memory, thermals, software, display and more — to deliver incredible performance and battery life in thin and quiet devices.

All GeForce RTX 50 Series laptops include NVIDIA Studio platform optimizations, with over 130 GPU-accelerated content creation apps and exclusive Studio tools including NVIDIA Studio Drivers, tested extensively to enhance performance and maximize stability in popular creative apps.

Adobe will participate in the Creator Lab at NAB Show, offering hands-on training for editors to elevate their skills with Adobe tools.

In the latest MLPerf Inference V5.0 benchmarks, which reflect some of the most challenging inference scenarios, the NVIDIA Blackwell platform set records — and marked NVIDIA’s first MLPerf submission using the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system, a rack-scale solution designed for AI reasoning.

Delivering on the promise of cutting-edge AI takes a new kind of compute infrastructure, called AI factories. Unlike traditional data centers, AI factories do more than store and process data — they manufacture intelligence at scale by transforming raw data into real-time insights. The goal for AI factories is simple: deliver accurate answers to queries quickly, at the lowest cost and to as many users as possible.

The complexity of pulling this off is significant and takes place behind the scenes. As AI models grow to billions and trillions of parameters to deliver smarter replies, the compute required to generate each token increases. This requirement reduces the number of tokens that an AI factory can generate and increases cost per token. Keeping inference throughput high and cost per token low requires rapid innovation across every layer of the technology stack, spanning silicon, network systems and software.

The latest updates to MLPerf Inference, a peer-reviewed industry benchmark of inference performance, include the addition of Llama 3.1 405B, one of the largest and most challenging-to-run open-weight models. The new Llama 2 70B Interactive benchmark features much stricter latency requirements compared with the original Llama 2 70B benchmark, better reflecting the constraints of production deployments in delivering the best possible user experiences.

In addition to the Blackwell platform, the NVIDIA Hopper platform demonstrated exceptional performance across the board, with performance increasing significantly over the last year on Llama 2 70B thanks to full-stack optimizations.

NVIDIA Blackwell Sets New Records

The GB200 NVL72 system — connecting 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to act as a single, massive GPU — delivered up to 30x higher throughput on the Llama 3.1 405B benchmark over the NVIDIA H200 NVL8 submission this round. This feat was achieved through more than triple the performance per GPU and a 9x larger NVIDIA NVLink interconnect domain.

While many companies run MLPerf benchmarks on their hardware to gauge performance, only NVIDIA and its partners submitted and published results on the Llama 3.1 405B benchmark.

Production inference deployments often have latency constraints on two key metrics. The first is time to first token (TTFT), or how long it takes for a user to begin seeing a response to a query given to a large language model. The second is time per output token (TPOT), or how quickly tokens are delivered to the user.

The new Llama 2 70B Interactive benchmark has a 5x shorter TPOT and 4.4x lower TTFT — modeling a more responsive user experience. On this test, NVIDIA’s submission using an NVIDIA DGX B200 system with eight Blackwell GPUs tripled performance over using eight NVIDIA H200 GPUs, setting a high bar for this more challenging version of the Llama 2 70B benchmark.

Combining the Blackwell architecture and its optimized software stack delivers new levels of inference performance, paving the way for AI factories to deliver higher intelligence, increased throughput and faster token rates.

NVIDIA Hopper AI Factory Value Continues Increasing

The NVIDIA Hopper architecture, introduced in 2022, powers many of today’s AI inference factories, and continues to power model training. Through ongoing software optimization, NVIDIA increases the throughput of Hopper-based AI factories, leading to greater value.

On the Llama 2 70B benchmark, first introduced a year ago in MLPerf Inference v4.0, H100 GPU throughput has increased by 1.5x. The H200 GPU, based on the same Hopper GPU architecture with larger and faster GPU memory, extends that increase to 1.6x.

Hopper also ran every benchmark, including the newly added Llama 3.1 405B, Llama 2 70B Interactive and graph neural network tests. This versatility means Hopper can run a wide range of workloads and keep pace as models and usage scenarios grow more challenging.

It Takes an Ecosystem

This MLPerf round, 15 partners submitted stellar results on the NVIDIA platform, including ASUS, Cisco, CoreWeave, Dell Technologies, Fujitsu, Giga Computing, Google Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lambda, Lenovo, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Quanta Cloud Technology, Supermicro, Sustainable Metal Cloud and VMware.

The breadth of submissions reflects the reach of the NVIDIA platform, which is available across all cloud service providers and server makers worldwide.

MLCommons’ work to continuously evolve the MLPerf Inference benchmark suite to keep pace with the latest AI developments and provide the ecosystem with rigorous, peer-reviewed performance data is vital to helping IT decision makers select optimal AI infrastructure.

AI is rapidly transforming how organizations solve complex challenges.

The early stages of enterprise AI adoption focused on using large language models to create chatbots. Now, enterprises are using agentic AI to create intelligent multi-agent systems that reason, act and execute complex tasks with a degree of autonomy.

Jacob Liberman, director of product management at NVIDIA, joined the NVIDIA AI Podcast to explain how agentic AI bridges the gap between powerful AI models and practical enterprise applications.

Enterprises are deploying AI agents to free human workers from time-consuming and error-prone tasks. This allows people to spend more time on high-value work that requires creativity and strategic thinking.

Liberman anticipates it won’t be long before teams of AI agents and human workers collaborate to tackle complex tasks requiring reasoning, intuition and judgement. For example, enterprise software developers will work with AI agents to develop more efficient algorithms. And medical researchers will collaborate with AI agents to design and test new drugs.

NVIDIA AI Blueprints help enterprises build their own AI agents – including many of the use cases listed above.

“Blueprints are reference architectures implemented in code that show you how to take NVIDIA software and apply it to some productive task in an enterprise to solve a real business problem,” Liberman said.

The blueprints are entirely open source. A developer or service provider can deploy a blueprint directly, or customize it by integrating their own technology.

Liberman highlighted the versatility of the AI Blueprint for customer service, for example, which features digital humans.

“The digital human can be made into a bedside digital nurse, a sportscaster or a bank teller with just some verticalization,” he said.

Other popular NVIDIA Blueprints include a video search and summarization agent, an enterprise multimodal PDF chatbot and a generative virtual screening pipeline for drug discovery.

For deeper dives into topics, users can then have an interactive discussion with the AI-powered podcast hosts.

The AI Blueprint for 3D-guided generative AI will give artists finer control over image generation. While AI can generate amazing images from simple text prompts, controlling image composition using only words can be challenging. With this blueprint, creators can use simple 3D objects laid out in a 3D renderer like Blender to guide AI image generation. The artist can create 3D assets by hand or generate them using AI, place them in the scene and set the 3D viewport camera. Then, a prepackaged workflow powered by the FLUX NIM microservice will use the current composition to generate high-quality images that match the 3D scene.

NVIDIA NIM on RTX With Windows Subsystem for Linux

One of the key technologies that enables NIM microservices to run on PCs is Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Microsoft and NVIDIA collaborated to bring CUDA and RTX acceleration to WSL, making it possible to run optimized, containerized microservices on Windows. This allows the same NIM microservice to run anywhere, from PCs and workstations to the data center and cloud.

Get started with NVIDIA NIM on RTX AI PCs at build.nvidia.com.

Project G-Assist Expands PC AI Features With Custom Plug-Ins

As part of Project G-Assist, an experimental version of the System Assistant feature for GeForce RTX desktop users is now available via the NVIDIA App, with laptop support coming soon.

G-Assist helps users control a broad range of PC settings — including optimizing game and system settings, charting frame rates and other key performance statistics, and controlling select peripherals settings such as lighting — all via basic voice or text commands.

G-Assist is built on NVIDIA ACE — the same AI technology suite game developers use to breathe life into non-player characters. Unlike AI tools that use massive cloud-hosted AI models that require online access and paid subscriptions, G-Assist runs locally on a GeForce RTX GPU. This means it’s responsive, free and can run without an internet connection. Manufacturers and software providers are already using ACE to create custom AI Assistants like G-Assist, including MSI’s AI Robot engine, the Streamlabs Intelligent AI Assistant and upcoming capabilities in HP’s Omen Gaming hub.

G-Assist was built for community-driven expansion. Get started with this NVIDIA GitHub repository, including samples and instructions for creating plug-ins that add new functionality. Developers can define functions in simple JSON formats and drop configuration files into a designated directory, allowing G-Assist to automatically load and interpret them. Developers can even submit plug-ins to NVIDIA for review and potential inclusion.

Currently available sample plug-ins include Spotify, to enable hands-free music and volume control, and Google Gemini — allowing G-Assist to invoke a much larger cloud-based AI for more complex conversations, brainstorming sessions and web searches using a free Google AI Studio API key.

In the clip below, you’ll see G-Assist ask Gemini about which Legend to pick in Apex Legends when solo queueing, and whether it’s wise to jump into Nightmare mode at level 25 in Diablo IV:

For even more customization, follow the instructions in the GitHub repository to generate G-Assist plug-ins using a ChatGPT-based “Plug-in Builder.” With this tool, users can write and export code, then integrate it into G-Assist — enabling quick, AI-assisted functionality that responds to text and voice commands.

Watch how a developer used the Plug-in Builder to create a Twitch plug-in for G-Assist to check if a streamer is live:

More details on how to build, share and load plug-ins are available in the NVIDIA GitHub repository.

The reliability of the electric grid is critical.

From handling demand surges and evolving power needs to preventing infrastructure failures that can cause wildfires, utility companies have a lot to keep tabs on.

Buzz Solutions — a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups — is helping by using AI to improve how utilities monitor and maintain their infrastructure.

Kaitlyn Albertoli, CEO and cofounder of Buzz Solutions joined the AI Podcast to explain how the company’s vision AI technology helps utilities spot potential problems faster.

Buzz Solutions helps utility companies analyze the massive amounts of inspection data collected by drones and helicopters. The company’s proprietary machine learning algorithms identify potential issues ranging from broken and rusted components to encroaching vegetation and unwelcome wildlife visits — before they cause outages or wildfires.

To help address substation issues, Buzz Solutions built PowerGUARD, a container-based application pipeline that uses AI to analyze video streams from substation cameras in real time. It detects security, safety, fire, smoke and equipment issues, annotates the video, then sends alerts via email or to a dashboard.

PowerGUARD uses the NVIDIA DeepStream software development kit for processing and inference of video streams used in real-time video analytics. DeepStream runs within the NVIDIA Metropolis framework on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform or on cloud-based virtual machines ‌to improve performance, reduce costs and save time.

Albertoli believes AI is just getting started in the utility industry, as it enables workers to take action rather than spend months reviewing images manually. “We are just at the tip of the iceberg of seeing AI enter into the energy sector and start to provide real value,” she said.

Editor’s note: This post is part of the AI On blog series, which explores the latest techniques and real-world applications of agentic AI, chatbots and copilots. The series also highlights the NVIDIA software and hardware powering advanced AI agents, which form the foundation of AI query engines that gather insights and perform tasks to transform everyday experiences and reshape industries.

Online shopping puts a world of choices at people’s fingertips, making it convenient for them to purchase and receive orders — all from the comfort of their homes.

But too many choices can turn experiences from exciting to exhausting, leaving shoppers struggling to cut through the noise and find exactly what they need.

By tapping into AI agents, retailers can deepen their customer engagement, enhance their offerings and maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly shifting digital marketplace.

Every digital interaction results in new data being captured. This valuable customer data can be used to fuel generative AI and agentic AI tools that provide personalized recommendations and boost online sales. According to NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Retail and Consumer-Packaged Goods report, 64% of respondents investing in AI for digital retail are prioritizing hyper-personalized recommendations.

Smart, Seamless and Personalized: The Future of Customer Experience

AI agents offer a range of benefits that significantly improve the retail customer experience, including:

• Personalized Experiences: Using customer insights and product information, these digital assistants can deliver the expertise of a company’s best sales associate, stylist or designer — providing tailored product recommendations, enhancing decision-making, and boosting conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
• Product Knowledge: AI agents enrich product catalogs with explanatory titles, enhanced descriptions and detailed attributes like size, warranty, sustainability and lifestyle uses. This makes products more discoverable and recommendations more personalized and informative, which increases consumer confidence.
• Omnichannel Support: AI provides seamless integration of online and offline experiences, facilitating smooth transitions between digital and physical retail environments.
• Virtual Try-On Capabilities: Customers can easily visualize products on themselves or in their homes in real time, helping improve product expectations and potentially lowering return rates.
• 24/7 Availability: AI agents offer around-the-clock customer support across time zones and languages.

Real-World Applications of AI Agents in Retail

AI is redefining digital commerce, empowering retailers to deliver richer, more intuitive shopping experiences. From enhancing product catalogs with accurate, high-quality data to improving search relevance and offering personalized shopping assistance, AI agents are transforming how customers discover, engage with and purchase products online.

AI agents for catalog enrichment automatically enhance product information with consumer-focused attributes. These attributes can range from basic details like size, color and material to technical details such as warranty information and compatibility.

They also include contextual attributes, like sustainability, and lifestyle attributes, such as “for hiking.” AI agents can also integrate service attributes — including delivery times and return policies — making items more discoverable and relevant to customers while addressing common concerns to improve purchase results.

Amazon faced the challenge of ensuring complete and accurate product information for shoppers while reducing the effort and time required for sellers to create product listings. To address this, the company implemented generative AI using the NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM library. This technology allows sellers to input a product description or URL, and the system automatically generates a complete, enriched listing. The work helps sellers reach more customers and expand their businesses effectively while making the catalog more responsive and energy efficient.

AI agents for search tap into enriched data to deliver more accurate and contextually relevant search results. By employing semantic understanding and personalization, these agents better match customer queries with the right products, making the overall search experience faster and more intuitive.

Amazon Music has optimized its search capabilities using the Amazon SageMaker platform with NVIDIA Triton Inference Server and the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kit. This includes implementing vector search and transformer-based spell-correction models.

As a result, when users search for music — even with typos or vague terms — they can quickly find what they’re looking for. These optimizations, which make the search bar more effective and user friendly, have led to faster search times and 73% lower costs for Amazon Music.

AI agents for shopping assistants build on the enriched catalog and improved search functionality. They offer personalized recommendations and answer queries in a detailed, relevant, conversational manner, guiding shoppers through their buying journeys with a comprehensive understanding of products and user intent.

SoftServe, a leading IT advisor, has launched the SoftServe Gen AI Shopping Assistant, developed using the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for retail shopping assistants. SoftServe’s shopping assistant offers seamless and engaging shopping experiences by helping customers discover products and access detailed product information quickly and efficiently. One of its standout features is the virtual try-on capability, which allows customers to visualize how clothing and accessories look on them in real time.

Defining the Essential Traits of a Powerful AI Shopping Agent

Highly skilled AI shopping assistants are designed to be multimodal, understanding text- and image-based prompts, voice and more through large language models (LLMs) and vision language models. These AI agents can search for multiple items simultaneously, complete complicated tasks — such as creating a travel wardrobe — and answer contextual questions, like whether a product is waterproof or requires drycleaning.

This high level of sophistication offers experiences akin to engaging with a company’s best sales associate, delivering information to customers in a natural, intuitive way.

The building blocks of a powerful retail shopping agent include:

• Multimodal and Multi-Query Capabilities: These agents can process and respond to queries that combine text and images, making search processes more versatile and user friendly. They can also easily be extended to support other modalities such as voice.
• Integration With LLMs: Advanced LLMs, such as the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron family, bring reasoning capabilities to AI shopping assistants, enabling them to engage in natural, humanlike interactions. NVIDIA NIM microservices provide industry-standard application programming interfaces for simple integration into AI applications, development frameworks and workflows.
• Management of Structured and Unstructured Data: NVIDIA NeMo Retriever microservices provide the ability to ingest, embed and understand retailers’ suites of relevant data sources, such as customer preferences and purchases, product catalog text and image data, and more, helping ensure AI agent responses are relevant, accurate and context-aware.
• Guardrails for Brand Safe, On-Topic Conversations: NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails are implemented to help ensure that conversations with the shopping assistant remain safe and on topic, ultimately protecting brand values and bolstering customer trust.
• State-of-the-Art Simulation Tools: The NVIDIA Omniverse platform and partner simulation technologies can help visualize products in physically accurate spaces. For example, customers looking to buy a couch could preview how the furniture would look in their own living room.

By using these key technologies, retailers can design AI shopping agents that exceed customer expectations, driving higher satisfaction and improved operational efficiency.

Retail organizations that harness AI agents are poised to experience evolving capabilities, such as enhanced predictive analytics for further personalized recommendations.

And integrating AI with augmented- and virtual-reality technologies is expected to create even more immersive and engaging shopping environments — delivering a future where shopping experiences are more immersive, convenient and customer-focused than ever.
