About Buy-it.ai

Buy-it.ai unlocks a new customer acquisition channel for retailers by using AI to recognize products in TV, film, and online video, then recreate those scenes as shoppable storefronts.

We cut customer acquisition costs (CAC) for retailers and transform media content into a monetizable commerce layer. Unlike ads that disrupt viewing, our model converts viewer curiosity into measurable shopping behavior driving incremental sales for retailers and opening new, non-interruptive revenue opportunities for media companies.
