Ralph Lauren Rolls Out 'Ask Ralph' AI Stylist on U.S. App

Built with Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI, the tool serves shoppable Polo outfits from live stock.

Overview

  • Ask Ralph begins U.S. rollout today within the Ralph Lauren mobile app on iOS and Android.
  • The chat assistant interprets open-ended prompts and returns visually laid-out, head-to-toe looks that can be purchased immediately.
  • Recommendations draw exclusively from live Men’s and Women’s Polo Ralph Lauren inventory at launch to ensure items are in stock.
  • Ralph Lauren developed the experience with Microsoft, training it on brand archives and refining it through months of employee, designer and customer testing.
  • The company plans incremental updates including deeper personalization, additional labels and wider platform and geographic availability, while observers note uncertainty about customer uptake and potential brand dilution.
