AI is becoming the new front door for brand discovery.
The shopping mall is a surprisingly good mental model for consumer AI.
Dalet Labs raised a $7M pre-seed led by Lightspeed to build AI-generated shopping scenes.
> The core idea is that AI should show options before you know what to ask, unlike chatbots and shopping agents that need a clear request before they can help.
> For grounding, a language model builds diffusion prompts only from attributes found in images people liked, which the company says limits hallucinated details in scenes meant to show real products.
> The feed generates its own content: collective user engagement picks which images to remix next, and fresh outputs can become new references, so the image pool grows without photoshoots.
We raised a $7M pre-seed to make shopping fun again.
@daletlabs generates media just for you: like walking into a mall built around your taste. And you can buy everything in-app.
Built by researchers from Google, Runway and MIT. Backed by @lightspeedvp and amazing angels. https://t.co/IiAikIEmur
