Building an AI-Powered Truth Engine for Online Commerce

Building an AI-Powered Truth Engine for Online Commerce

With online commerce, trust is the foundation of success. Customers demand transparency, authenticity and reliability when making purchasing decisions. Any lack of trust in a platform can lead to its doom. EVAV understands this and has carefully considered this problem. It's a critical element in the emergence of onchain shopping finance, also known as ShopFi. 

EVAV’s AI-powered real world asset (RWA) truth engine is a transformative tool. It’s designed to ensure authenticity, streamline trust and enhance customer confidence. It’s crucial that trust and transparency are the heart of the EVAV’s hypercommerce ideals - so here’s how it works. 

Why ShopFi Needs a Truth Engine

Online commerce is plagued by eroding trust:

  • Supply chain opacity: Customers often have no insight into where products come from or how they’re made.
  • Counterfeiting: Fake luxury goods, electronics and collectibles flood online marketplaces.
  • Misleading Claims: Exaggerated product descriptions, greenwashing and unverified reviews mislead shoppers.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring products meet safety and ethical standards is complex.

EVAV’s AI-powered real-world asset (RWA) truth engine can address these issues. Providing verifiable, transparent data fosters trust, enabling more informed purchasing decisions.

Truth and Trust About Physical Items

EVAV can verify and validate the authenticity and origin of items sold through its app. These assets can include physical products like clothing, luxury goods and electronics. By leveraging AI, blockchain and data analytics, EVAV ensures what customers see online is real. This can combat fraud, counterfeiting and misinformation.

The “truth” in this context refers to verified data about a product’s journey. The engine scans receipts created from the purchase of physical items. This way, buyers can have confidence in an item's origin. For online commerce, this translates to greater trust, reduced returns and an edge over other marketplaces. 

Benefits for Online Commerce

  • Increased Trust: Transparent product information builds customer loyalty and reduces returns.
  • Competitive Advantage: A truth engine sets the EVAV platform apart in a crowded market.
  • Fraud Reduction: AI and blockchain minimize counterfeiting and supply chain fraud.
  • Sustainability: Items with verifiable history and permanance will attract high-quality consumers.

A Real-World Example

Imagine a luxury handbag owner who wants to unlock an item’s value. The owner uses the EVAV app to upload her Gmail receipts. This includes one showing she purchased the bag from a high-end retailer, creating a blockchain-verified record of the bag. AI then cross-references the information to confirm it’s not a counterfeit. 

The owner then  sees the bag listed in EVAV’s marketplace. Information regarding the bag is also automatically included. A thumbnail image, its leather sourcing in Italy and assembly in France all show up on the EVAV listing. Potential buyers of the item can have confidence that purchasing the item is worth it. The value of the item is unlocked via a bidding process on the app. When the handbag owner feels an appropriate bid is placed, she can easily ship the item using EVAV’s shipping oracle. The oracle will complete the transaction when the item is delivered to the buyer.

Conclusion

EVAV’s AI-powered RWA truth engine is a game-changer for online commerce. It offers a solution to trust and transparency challenges current marketplaces contend with. By combining AI, blockchain and existing market data, businesses can verify product authenticity. This will streamline the future of commerce, and empower EVAV members with reliable information. 

While building such a system requires investment and collaboration, there’s a huge payoff here. This results in stronger customer trust, reduced fraud and a competitive edge. EVAV users can start small with their own “stores” on the app. They then can witness items thrive - and be worth real value to owners - in an emerging era where truth is the ultimate currency.
