Furniture.com unifies over 60 retail partners and 1.5 million SKUs on the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using Delta Lake, MLflow and Unity Catalog to run its ML lifecycle. Its Find It AI product-discovery tool uses generative AI to create a synthetic image representing shopper intent, then matches it against the product catalog for image-based search. A Collections model uses LLMs to automatically group related products, finding more than 16,000 collections across 50+ partners with no human intervention. Users who interact with Find It AI show a click-through rate 8x higher than baseline and a return rate 3.2x higher than baseline.

Solution
Built on the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Furniture.com runs its entire ML lifecycle on a single platform, using Delta Lake for data processing at scale, MLflow for model experimentation and deployment, and Unity Catalog for granular access control. Its Find It AI product-discovery tool uses generative AI to generate a synthetic image representing shopper intent, then matches that image against the product catalog to deliver personalized, relevant search results. The team also built computer vision models to classify and crop product images into a clean, standardized format, and a Collections model that uses large language models to automatically group related products, such as bedroom or dining sets, even when partners don't explicitly label them. Databricks Apps is also used to share interactive QA tools across the company.
