AiFi builds autonomous shopping systems for retailers using 100% computer vision. Its products allow retailers to retrofit existing stores, deploy fully assembled portable stores, or install an AI-powered frictionless checkout in new locations.

The platform offers exclusive shopper analytics that map awareness, consideration, and conversion to help retailers optimize operations. Compared with competitors, AiFi provides end-to-end, configurable solutions across multiple formats (retrofitting, portable stores, and frictionless checkout) and emphasizes pure AI-driven visibility and analytics without relying on traditional hardware mixes. The goal is to help retailers modernize operations, increase efficiency, and improve the shopping experience through autonomous, data-driven solutions.
