Product Affordance Intelligence
Extract functional affordances from product images and videos. Understand what products enable users to do — from grip patterns to interaction zones — to power smarter search and recommendations.
E-commerce platforms, product catalog managers, and merchandising teams managing 100K+ SKU catalogs
Traditional product search relies on keyword tags and basic visual features, missing the functional attributes that drive purchase decisions — what a product lets you do, how it fits into your life

Why Mixpeek
Goes beyond visual similarity to functional understanding. Multi-tier extraction captures both appearance and affordance, enabling intent-based product discovery that increases conversion rates.
Overview
Product affordance intelligence moves product search beyond keywords and visual similarity to functional understanding. By analyzing how products are used — grip patterns, interaction zones, environmental context — Mixpeek enables shoppers to find products that match their intent, not just their description.
Challenges This Solves
Keyword-Dependent Discovery
Product search relies on manually curated tags that miss functional attributes
Impact: Shoppers who search by intent ("comfortable for all-day wear") get irrelevant results, reducing conversion by 20-30%
Visual Similarity Gaps
Products that look similar may have vastly different functional affordances
Impact: Recommendation engines surface visually similar but functionally wrong products, driving returns
Catalog Scale
Manual affordance tagging is impractical for catalogs exceeding 100K SKUs
Impact: New products sit untagged for days, missing launch-window sales
