Visual search is a feature. Youzu is the layer.
Syte and ViSenze pioneered visual search. Youzu treats visual search as one surface — fed by the same intelligence layer that powers rooms, recs, 3D, and merchandising.
Syte and ViSenze are well-established visual search vendors, especially in fashion. They solve image-to-product matching well, but stop there. Youzu unifies catalogue intelligence, visual search, room scenes, smart recommendations, and 3D — one ingest, one API, every surface.
