About Superfish
We are technology enthusiasts, mathematicians, and engineers who have been working for
several years on visual search technology. Our core technology uses images (as opposed
to keywords) as search queries. Our vision is that visual search will one day allow people
to use any picture at any time from any place as a search query. We are a venture-backed
startup with headquarters in Silicon Valley and engineering and R&D in Israel.
About WindowShopper
Released in March, 2010, WindowShopper is our first product. It is a browser
add-on that uses our visual search technology to help consumers find deals and
other visually-similar items instantly while shopping. The product works on
almost any product and on hundreds of shopping sites including Amazon.com,
Best Buy, eBay, Macy’s, and Overstock.com. Our current index covers over 60
million products.
Other Implementations
We have several partner websites who use our technology to provide a visual search experience
and for normalizing images. While our current implementations revolve around shopping and products,
our algorithms can work on any type of image. If you have an idea of how you can use our technology,
please contact us at info@superfish.com.
