Wayfair and Google Cloud have announced a broadened partnership aimed at greatly enhancing the online retailer's product offerings using Google's cutting-edge Gemini models on Vertex AI, while also boosting employee collaboration by implementing Google Workspace for its thousands of employees globally. Through the implementation of Google's AI technologies, Wayfair has already experienced enhancements in employee productivity and reductions in operational expenses.

"At Wayfair, we believe gen AI is the key to unlocking the next generation of retail experiences," said Fiona Tan, Chief Technology Officer at Wayfair. "With Google Cloud, we've been able to efficiently scale and enrich our product catalogs, enabling us to support a more seamless and engaging shopping experience for our customers."

Along with enhancing its catalog, Wayfair is using Gemini for Google Workspace to boost employee productivity and provide improved experiences for them. Wayfair has effectively utilized Gemini in Gmail, Google Docs, and other platforms to assist employees in organizing and collaborating on tasks such as composing and replying to emails, summarizing and editing documents, creating presentation templates, and more. Wayfair is also achieving success with Gems, which are tailored variations of Gemini designed to assist with tasks or gain in-depth knowledge in new fields. With Gemini for Workspace and Gems, Wayfair has experienced an increase in employee productivity, better collaboration, and enhancements in creativity throughout the organization.
