Lowe’s invests in AI and emerging retail technology as Mylow home improvement virtual advisor goes live.
Lowe’s has launched Mylow, which is designed to help customers navigate the many questions that come with owning a home from project know-how, to how to advise top-rated product searches and more.
This has been developed in collaboration with OpenAI.
“Home improvement is inherently complex and can feel overwhelming even for the most experienced DIYer – that’s why Lowe’s has invested in AI and emerging technologies to create solutions that truly help our customers,” said Lowe’s Chief Digital and Information Officer Seemantini Godbole.
“We’re aiming to deliver the best customer service in retail and Mylow represents an industry leading step forward in helping us do that. This solution will not only help our customers be more informed, but our associates too.”
“The development and introduction of Mylow exemplifies the tech forward vision of the Lowe’s brand,” said Lowe’s Senior Vice President of Technology, Chandhu Nair. “We’re doubling down with emerging technology collaborators like OpenAI to solve problems for our customers and because we want the home improvement experience at Lowe’s to be a cut above.”
Mylow links project insights to product discovery, helping customers find and purchase the right tools and materials for their projects. Customers using it can also refine their local recommendations by providing details like their project budget or zip code. And Mylow also shares friendly “how-to” content so no matter how much experience a DIYer may have, they never have to go it alone.
Currently on desktop and mobile web, it is available for MyLowe’s Rewards loyalty members or by visiting lowes.com/Mylow. Customers can also expect Mylow voice capabilities and availability on the retailer’s app later this year.
