About this Product
AI Image / Visual Search turns a photo into a query. Instead of guessing keywords, your shoppers upload an image — or snap one on mobile — and the extension returns the closest matching products from your catalog, ranked by visual similarity. It is purpose-built for fashion, furniture, and lifestyle merchants where look, shape, color, and pattern drive discovery far more than SKU text.
This is not an instant Adobe Commerce Marketplace download. It is a build-to-order extension: ECOSIRE builds the module against your Magento version, theme, and catalog structure, then installs and configures it on your environment. Technically it ships as a proper module under app/code/Ecosire/VisualSearch, wired with di.xml dependency injection, a custom service contract (ImageSearchInterface) so your storefront, REST, and GraphQL layers all call one stable API, and an admin ACL resource so only authorized roles touch configuration.
Under the hood, product images are converted to AI visual embeddings (vectors) during a backgrounded cron-driven indexing job, with an observer on catalog_product_save_after keeping the index fresh as the catalog changes. Pattern recognition and auto product tagging from visual cues enrich faceting. At query time, an uploaded image is embedded and matched against the index; a configurable similarity threshold controls how strict results are. A plugin/interceptor injects the visual-search entry point into your existing search and PDP without core edits.
Works on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce (we adapt to Commerce-only features like Live Search where it makes sense). You get a clean upgrade path, documented config, and ECOSIRE support after go-live.
What you get
- Custom Magento 2 module delivered under app/code/Ecosire/VisualSearch, version-matched to your install
- Installation and configuration on your Magento environment (staging first, then production)
- Admin configuration section with similarity threshold, indexing controls, and ACL setup
- REST and GraphQL endpoints documented for headless/PWA storefront integration
- Initial catalog image embedding/index build plus the cron job that maintains it
- Storefront integration into your theme (upload widget, mobile camera capture, results rendering)
- Technical handover doc covering architecture, config, reindex commands, and upgrade notes
- Post-launch support window for bug fixes and Magento minor-version compatibility
Who this is for
Fashion & apparel merchant
Sells visually-driven products where shoppers struggle to name a print, cut, or color. Wants 'find me something that looks like this' so customers discover lookalikes and reduce zero-result searches.
Furniture & home decor retailer
Has large catalogs where style and form matter more than SKU text. Needs shoppers to upload an inspiration photo and surface matching sofas, lamps, or rugs by shape and pattern.
Lifestyle / multi-brand store owner
Runs a broad catalog where keyword search underperforms on aesthetic intent. Wants AI visual search plus auto-tagging to improve discovery and on-site conversion without rebuilding their search stack.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Image / Visual Search
How long until the extension is live on my store?
Because this is build-to-order, ECOSIRE builds the module against your exact Magento version, theme, and catalog before installing. Typical delivery is roughly one working week depending on catalog size, embedding model choice, and integration depth (standard Luma/theme vs. headless PWA via GraphQL). We confirm a firm timeline after a short scoping call, install on staging first, then promote to production.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
Every build includes a post-launch support window for bug fixes and compatibility with Magento minor releases. Because the module is isolated under app/code/Ecosire/VisualSearch with no core edits, Magento patches and most upgrades apply cleanly. ECOSIRE offers continued support and feature work after the initial window; we keep the service contract and admin config stable so updates don't break your storefront.
Does it work on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?
Yes. The module is built on standard Magento 2 architecture (service contracts, di.xml, plugins, observers, ACL) so it runs on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. On Adobe Commerce we can align the visual results with Live Search/Catalog Service where it adds value, but the core visual matching does not depend on Commerce-only features.
Where do the AI embeddings run, and does my catalog data leave my server?
We scope this with you. The embedding step can call an external AI provider (vectors only, not raw customer data) or run against a self-hosted model, depending on your data-residency and cost requirements. Product images are embedded during a cron-driven background job; queries embed the uploaded image and match it against your local vector index. We document exactly what is sent where before build.
Will it slow down catalog saves or storefront performance?
No. Image embedding runs in a cron-driven background indexing job, not inline with catalog saves. An observer on catalog_product_save_after only flags changed products for re-embedding. At query time the storefront calls the service contract, which performs a fast nearest-neighbor lookup against the prebuilt index, so visual search adds minimal latency to the page.
