Optiwise.ai announced it has raised $2.4 million in seed funding. And the company is the first to offer a comprehensive optimization solution for Walmart sellers. And it uses GenAI to maximize the success of product listings and ads with Walmart-specific strategies. This funding, led by StartupXseed Ventures, will continue Olivia’s growth and development.
Along with the funding, Optiwise.ai introduced Olivia, an interactive AI assistant designed uniquely for the Walmart Marketplace.
GenAI-powered Olivia identifies listing and ad opportunities, answers performance-related questions and provides content suggestions, including keywords, titles, descriptions, and pricing. It also considers holidays and retail events, including the upcoming holiday season.
Olivia learns from a brand’s existing A+ content and seamlessly replicates the content to meet Walmart’s standards, ensuring brands tell a consistent brand story across marketplaces.
Unlike other disjointed platforms that approach sponsored ads and content separately, Optiwise.ai creates an integrated approach by optimizing sponsored ads, organic campaigns, and product listings simultaneously so they work together. The solution ensures that sponsored ads and product listings are optimized end-to-end, including titles, keywords, descriptions, images, prices, and more. It offers personalized recommendations to increase product visibility and conversions.
Olivia extends Optiwise.ai’s capabilities by providing a personal AI assistant that helps first-party suppliers and third-party sellers boost ads and product listings, optimize spend, and grow online and in-store revenue. With GenAI, Olivia automatically identifies issues and opportunities within product listings and ads and can update and publish edits accordingly.
Sellers can ask Olivia for insights into business performance and advice on boosting traffic and conversions. This includes suggestions for keywords, descriptions, or attributes to use and guidance on increasing visibility for products during holiday and retail event windows.
Optiwise.ai’s platform, with Olivia’s help, enables sellers to create a unified brand story across marketplaces by allowing them to repurpose their Amazon A+ content, including content, images, videos, and more, on Walmart with a single click. Rather than manually creating content for Walmart, Olivia uses AI to learn from the A+ content and then recreate it to ensure the product listings are optimized and meet Walmart’s standards.
Consistent with Optiwise.ai’s solutions, Olivia helps sellers ensure compliance with Walmart’s Marketplace guidelines like Item Spec 5.0 which has stricter validation rules and requires specific product attributes. And Olivia automatically identifies attributes that need to be modified and assigns new attributes to ensure compliance, eliminating the need to update every product listing manually and boosting organic visibility.
