AI shopping // New York, United States
Daydream runs a conversational fashion-shopping service that accepts natural-language requests and images to find products across participating brands. Shoppers refine recommendations with follow-up requests, and personalisation draws on their preferences; purchases are completed through partner merchants rather than from stock owned by Daydream.
Its development offers a test of whether conversational discovery can improve fashion search while leaving transactions with existing retailers.
Daydream announced $50 million in seed funding in 2024, co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Index Ventures with participation from Google Ventures and True Ventures.
