What is the core technology behind this AI shopping agent?

The answer is straightforward: a deep integration of computer vision and natural language processing (NLP). Bunnings’ AI assistant is not just a simple chatbot; it combines Google Cloud’s Vision AI and Vertex AI, allowing customers to use voice or text to describe their needs via a mobile app or in-store device, such as “I need a drill that can drill into concrete walls.” The system then instantly analyzes product inventory, location, and price, and even provides personalized recommendations based on past purchase history. The amount of data processed behind this system is staggering—Bunnings’ product catalog covers over 100,000 SKUs, and the AI can complete search and matching within 3 seconds.
