Introducing Our New "AI Search" Feature

We've added an "AI" label to the search bar on our homepage and other pages, so you can now use our new AI Search feature.

With AI Search, you can type what you're looking for into the search bar using natural, conversational language. The AI will generate an answer based on relevant articles and display it at the top of the results page. You'll also see the source articles used to create the response, so you can get a quick summary and then dive into the full articles for more details.

For example, if you search for "How does UV protection work?", an "AI-generated answer" will appear on the results page, along with links to related articles and suggestions for further questions. This makes it easier to find the information you want without having to come up with the perfect keywords.

(*Please note that AI-generated answers are provided for reference purposes. For the most accurate information, please consult the original source articles.)

Here at fashion tech news, we will continue working to enhance our features and content to give our readers the best possible experience.

If you have any questions, please see the FAQ at the bottom of the page or reach out via our CONTACT form.
