Ralph Lauren Launches 'Ask Ralph,' an AI Stylist for Shoppable Looks

The chat assistant debuts in the U.S. app with Polo-only recommendations in a cautious pilot.

Overview

  • Powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, the chat recommends complete, shoppable outfits in response to natural-language prompts.
  • Suggestions are drawn from live inventory for in-stock buying and guided by the brand’s archive and styling philosophy.
  • The release marks Ralph Lauren’s first consumer-facing AI product after about a year of development and months of beta testing with staff and customers.
  • Access starts with U.S. app users and Polo-label items, with planned expansion to other lines, voice features, broader platforms and profile-based personalization.
  • Early previews at the SoHo Prince Street store showed a commercially focused experience designed to reduce off-brand responses and hallucinations.
