Ecom Retailers: When will personalisation on your sites match Spotify’s? Spotify is the No1 music streaming service because of personalisation. There are 751 million users, each Spotify profile is completely unique, that’s 751 versions of Spotify. Reasons why people love it: ✅ You easily discover new music (Discover Weekly, Release Radar) ✅ You get relevant, exciting recommendations (Daily Mix) ✅ You feel seen and understood (Spotify Wrapped) Spotify axed traditional recommendations (collaborative filtering: past user behavior and similarity) in 2014, in 2026 they use Advanced AI. Today your personalised profile is based on sequential user interactions (skips, plays, saves and search queries in real-time) creating a fingerprint of your habits. A Spotify-like online shopping experience would look like this... AI Personalised Discovery Feeds. After every click your shoppers would see: 🚀 A series of next best items 🚀 The feed of next best items adapting in real time and in session 🚀 Personalisation based on their interests and context (clicks, favorites, add to bag) This is powered by Albatross AI. Here is a retailer who's already made the shift - https://lnkd.in/e6tzZa_P To find out more message me. #Ecommerce #AIpersonalization #RetailInnovation

Looking forward to speaking on the main stage at GenAI Zürich. From generative models → to real-time perception models While LLMs have unlocked the creation of content, discovery has become increasingly complex. Most recommendation systems remain fundamentally static and backward-looking, while user intent is non-stationary and evolves continuously within a session. This calls for a different class of models - spanning sequential learning, online inference, and real-time feedback loops at scale - moving from predicting what users liked → to understanding what they want now. See you there!

Excited to see our Principal Applied Scientist Dr Jan Malte Lichtenberg speaking at GetYourGuide’s AI event in Berlin 🇩🇪 Turning research into production systems is where real impact happens. Stay tuned.

>2.5x engagement lift is not incremental improvement. It's a paradigm shift. Following yesterday's announcement with Wallapop, I sat down with Forbes to discuss the broader shift in product discovery, and how we’re bringing users back in control. Back in November, we introduced a new technology paradigm. Just three months later, it’s live at scale: helping millions of users discover tens of millions of products in real time. Grateful to David Prosser for the conversation and to Forbes for the continued coverage. Full interview (Forbes) → https://lnkd.in/eV8thpP5 Wallapop announcement (Business Insider) → https://lnkd.in/eauP-qMq This is another important milestone for Albatross AI. Huge thanks to our team, to Wallapop for a truly great partnership, and to redalpine, MMC Ventures, and daphni who believed in our vision from day one. We’re just getting started.

We’re excited to see Albatross AI announce a strategic partnership with Wallapop, bringing adaptive, in-session AI discovery to one of Europe’s leading C2C marketplaces 🙌 Wallapop becomes one of the first consumer-to-consumer platforms globally to move beyond static, history-based recommendations toward real-time perception - technology that understands user intent as it unfolds. What does that mean in practice? If a user starts browsing a second-hand sofa and then shifts to rugs and floor lamps, discovery adapts instantly - understanding the move from evaluating one item to furnishing a space. Instead of showing more sofas, the system surfaces complementary, style-matched listings across categories, including items the user didn’t explicitly search for. 🛋️ 🪑 🖼️ This is the shift from AI that predicts based on the past… to AI that understands the present. The numbers in early production have been outstanding: • +118.9% increase in user engagement • +104.8% increase in favourites & interactions • +46.9% increase in purchase intentions Read more on the partnership via Forbes: https://lnkd.in/eXey3s5S We backed the Albatross team because we believe personalisation has seen surprisingly little true innovation over the last decade. Generative AI transformed content creation. Real-time perception is transforming how content is discovered. This partnership with Wallapop is one of the earliest large-scale commercial deployments of adaptive AI discovery in recommerce - and a powerful validation of that vision.

the next frontier of AI? it’s perception 🔍 Our portfolio company Albatross AI has signed a strategic partnership with Wallapop, one of Europe’s leading C2C marketplaces, to power real-time, in-session AI discovery across its platform. If a buyer shifts from browsing sofas to furnishing a living room, discovery adapts instantly. New categories. New context. New “hidden gem” listings. Early production results: +118.9% user engagement +104.8% favorites & interactions +46.9% purchase intentions redalpine led Albatross’ €3M formation round in 2024, backing Kevin Kahn, Matteo Ruffini and Johan Boissard to build a next-generation discovery layer for marketplaces and eCommerce. What makes this milestone particularly exciting is the environment: high listing velocity, millions of unique items, constantly shifting supply. A real stress test for adaptive AI. Congratulations to Kevin Kahn and the entire Albatross AI team on this major step - and to Dr. Oliver Pabst and Marc Moesser for supporting the journey from day one. Read on in Forbes about why AI perception, not just generation, could define the next frontier of intelligent systems - link in the comments.

Imagine what AI could do if it truly understood what you’re looking for… That’s exactly what Albatross AI is building. And now, they’re doing it at scale with Wallapop: Spain’s leading C2C marketplace for conscious commerce, where users generate billions in sales each year. Now imagine applying real-time adaptive AI to that scale. The early production results of this new partnership already speak for themselves: 📈 +118.9% increase in user engagement ⭐ +104.8% increase in favorites & interactions 🛒 +46.9% increase in purchase intentions In marketplaces where every item is unique and inventory shifts constantly, discovery is incredibly complex and traditional recommendations can’t keep up. Albatross changes that with real-time, in-session AI that adapts to user intent as it happens. Buyers find the right items faster, sellers gain stronger visibility, and the marketplace becomes more liquid and efficient. At Wallapop’s scale, these improvements go far beyond product metrics. They compound across billions in annual transactions, driving more conversions, more circulation of goods, and a stronger ecosystem for millions of users. This partnership is one of the first large-scale deployments of adaptive AI discovery in commerce and proof that AI can drive real structural economic impact. Huge congratulations to Kevin Kahn, Matteo Ruffini, Johan Boissard, and the entire Albatross team 🚀
