The AI discovery OS
for commerce.
Built by someone who
has done this before.
visualAI makes merchant products discoverable by AI agents and shoppers simultaneously — trimodal search onsite, AI-ready feeds offsite. 34-claim pending patent. $7.3B TAM by 2031. Raising $750K SAFE at $10M post-money.
$750K SAFE · $10M Post-Money Cap
Open to qualified investors. Proceeds fund product launch (cleanerGPT, catalogGPT), GTM acceleration, and initial hires. No contract. SAFE note format.
The market opportunity.
AI is replacing Google as the first point of product discovery. The merchants who adapt now will own a structural advantage. The infrastructure just went live.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the $886M market that becomes $7.3B by 2031 as AI agents displace traditional search as the primary discovery surface for commerce. ChatGPT already receives 50M+ shopping queries per day. AI-driven traffic converts at 14.2% — five times the Google organic rate. The merchant who shows up in ChatGPT recommendations wins the sale. Right now, most don't show up at all.
The problem.
Three compounding failures in merchant product data and discovery.
79% of ChatGPT shopping prompts surface no products. Raw catalog data — however comprehensive — does not meet the structured data standards AI shopping systems require.
Most Shopify stores run keyword search from 2005. Shoppers describe what they want visually. Search engines cannot match a description like "that relaxed linen shirt in sage" to the right product.
Merchant catalogs are full of keyword-stuffed titles, HTML in description fields, missing attributes, and inconsistent naming inherited from suppliers. Bad data compounds across every downstream system.
The solution.
Three AI products — one proprietary enrichment pipeline — solving all three problems simultaneously.
shopperGPT
SubmittedTrimodal AI search — text, color, and image simultaneously. Drop-in replacement for Shopify native search. Finds what shoppers actually mean, not what they typed.
cleanerGPT
Coming SoonAI data cleaning pipeline. Rewrites keyword-stuffed titles, strips HTML from descriptions, normalizes attributes across your catalog. Pushes clean data back to Shopify automatically.
catalogGPT
Coming SoonAI catalog enrichment + GEO layer. Generates schema.org JSON-LD and distributes compliant feeds to ChatGPT ACP, Google Gemini, Perplexity Shopping, and Shopify UCP simultaneously.
Business model.
Subscription SaaS across three products — shopperGPT, cleanerGPT, and catalogGPT. Monthly and annual billing. Three independent revenue streams on one proprietary infrastructure.
Primary channel — organic discovery + paid acquisition. Shopify partner ecosystem.
Enterprise brands and agencies via outbound sales. Higher ARPU, longer contract terms, 0% platform fee.
Platform expansion — 400K+ WooCommerce merchants in target category, same backend, incremental distribution.
Unit economics.
Built for capital efficiency. Low CAC, high retention on higher tiers, natural expansion via upgrades.
Target LTV:CAC
> 3× at scale. Driven by low-cost Shopify App Store acquisition, high retention on higher-tier plans, and natural expansion via upgrade paths.
Target CAC payback
< 6 months. Shopify App Store CAC is structurally low. Expansion revenue from plan upgrades begins immediately as merchants see ROI.
Target gross margin
70–85%. SaaS gross margins — infrastructure costs amortize as merchant base scales. AI compute cost per merchant decreases with volume.
Expansion revenue
Four upgrade tiers per product + annual billing (15% discount incentivizes annual commitment). Merchants who see ROI upgrade. Higher-tier churn is materially lower than starter-tier.
Use of proceeds.
$750K SAFE funds the transition from pre-revenue to multi-product SaaS with active merchant base.
Complete development and launch of cleanerGPT and catalogGPT on Shopify App Store. Infrastructure is already built — proceeds fund final product and go-to-market.
Shopify App Store optimization, content, and paid acquisition. Outbound sales motion for enterprise API direct channel.
Engineering (AI/ML and platform), Customer Success (1 CS per 2,000 merchants — 80%+ support handled by AI automation). WooCommerce platform integration.
Patent prosecution, trademark registration, accounting, and compliance infrastructure as we move from pre-revenue to multi-product SaaS.
Why now.
The AI commerce infrastructure went live in Q1 2026. This is not a future trend.
AI commerce protocols just went live
Shopify UCP (January 2026, co-developed with Google). Google Catalog Endpoint (March 2026). OpenAI ACP with 1M+ Shopify merchants onboarding. These are production systems querying structured product data today — not future prototypes.
The window is 12 months
AI discovery systems learn from data patterns. Merchants who establish AI-ready catalogs now build compounding advantages that later entrants cannot replicate. The gap widens every week.
No direct competitor
Feed tools handle distribution — no enrichment. AI content tools handle copy — no feed generation. No existing platform combines multi-modal product enrichment with compliant feed generation across all major AI shopping protocols.
Why us.
The moat is real. The founder has done this before.
34-claim pending patent
USPTO Application No. 19/211,109 — 34 claims covering the novel multi-modal search architecture combining text embeddings, color vectors, and image understanding. 10+ years of AI/ML research filed as a comprehensive patent covering the core technology.
350K+ lines of proprietary infrastructure
Built AI-first from day one. Custom embeddings pipeline: text, HSV color vectors, image embeddings, synonym graph, and enrichment pipeline. Not a wrapper on third-party APIs. Not replicable quickly.
Three revenue streams, one build
shopperGPT, cleanerGPT, and catalogGPT all run on the same proprietary enrichment pipeline. Three subscription products with independent pricing power, all leveraging the same infrastructure moat.
Founder with a proven track record
Joe Monastiero founded Intervideo in 1999 — grew WinDVD to 500M+ copies shipped, NASDAQ IPO, acquired by Corel, later by Intel. Serial entrepreneur with 10+ years AI/ML research in computer vision and product understanding. AI-first from day one.
