AI Imaging in Marketplaces: From pilot to operational infrastructure
Most AI imaging pilots don't fail because the model isn't good enough. They fail because the system around it never changed.
In this 25-minute session, Photoroom's Head of Imaging Jeff Strauss and Head of Sales & Partnerships Michelle Belcic will walk through what it actually takes to move AI imaging from a one-off experiment to a reliable operational capability, drawing on real deployments at Mercari, Decathlon, and Valuence Japan.
You'll leave with:
A clear framework for diagnosing why AI imaging stalls in your organization
The three failure modes that show up most often, and how to address them
Real numbers from enterprise and marketplace deployments that have made the shift
A view of what infrastructure-grade AI imaging looks like in practice
