YouChatChannel - Applied AI Engineering in Action

I'm the founder of YouChatChannel, an AI platform that allows you to have interactive conversations with YouTube channels through advanced AI assistants.

YouChatChannel transforms passive content consumption into an engaging, interactive experience. The platform analyzes video content through transcripts and creates specialized AI assistants (LLMs) that can answer questions, explain concepts, and provide insights based on the channel's content.

This project exemplifies how I approach AI engineering challenges: building systems that deliver real value while maintaining technical excellence behind the scenes.

E-commerce Image Similarity Engine: From Concept to Conversion

Business Problem: A major e-commerce retailer struggled with product discovery across their catalog of thousands of items, limiting cross-selling opportunities.

My Engineering Solution: I engineered a complete visual similarity system using a proven 3-step methodology: 1. Efficient image acquisition pipeline handling thousands of product images 2. Optimized embedding generation with CLIP/ResNet models for maximum accuracy 3. High-performance similarity search using FAISS vector indexing.

Business Impact: Inmediately customer support was able to offer similar products to customers reaching out, generating new sales or speeding up the customer support response time and reducing tedious work.
Next application will be to compare current products with new catalogs from suppliers to identify valuable opportunities.

Read this blogpost to see how this inmediate high ROI problem was solved.
Could your business benefit from similar AI-powered product discovery? Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific needs.
