Description
The Yes uses AI technology to curate a feed of fashion product recommendations based on a user's individual preferences.

Users can also vote "yes" or "no" to signify whether they like a product being shown. The platform's algorithms tailor recommendations based on this information.In 2021, The Yes started allowing users to invite friends to view their liked items and provide feedback via emojis.
