西雅圖姐妹花創業:用AI攻佔Z世代社交商務市場!

社交商務初創公司Nectar Social利用AI連結品牌與年輕消費者

隨著一切變得愈來愈虛擬,年輕消費者渴望實體接觸和個人互動——或至少是實際互動的感覺。

我的16歲女兒向我解釋,他們想要的類似於我成長時代的商場文化,與朋友一起漫遊商店,並與銷售員互動。

「這就是人際連接,」她說,「如果你與某人建立了實際的關係,你購買某樣東西的可能性就會高得多。」

Nectar Social是一家新成立的西雅圖地區初創公司,旨在填補年輕消費者的這一空白,專注於Z世代和Alpha世代。

該公司於2023年中成立,由姐妹Misbah Uraizee和Farah Uraizee創辦,利用最新的人工智能技術幫助品牌在社交媒體平台上接觸消費者,並通過個性化的對話來建立這些聯繫。

兩位創辦人曾在多家科技公司工作,同時在Meta擔任產品管理和工程職位。他們正利用這些經驗來獲取社交媒體互動的洞察。

資金與增長

Nectar Social在推出後不久便籌集到200萬美元的前種子輪資金,由西雅圖的Flying Fish Ventures主導。

目前,Nectar在華盛頓州貝爾維尤設有工程辦公室,並在紐約市建立第二個銷售和市場營銷中心。現在的員工人數為15人,還有六個空缺職位。Nectar仍在保密模式下運作,但已與多個品牌合作。

創辦人表示,傳統的通過數字廣告、電子郵件和短信接觸消費者的方法既昂貴又不有效。

Misbah Uraizee表示,現在的重點是「社交商務」,她將其定義為品牌出現在消費者使用的社交媒體平台上,幫助他們發現產品、提供建議、娛樂他們,並建立能夠促成銷售的關係。

她說,購買可能會在第一次對話後直接進行,或者可能是一個月後,「因為這位消費者非常喜歡你……他們已經建立了關係。」

但如果你和一台機器交談,這還算是真實的聯繫嗎?至少我的女兒說是的。

她和她的同齡人厭倦了獨自瀏覽充滿無數選擇的網站,最終訂購的商品不合適,也與預期不符。她表示,如果AI助手能夠簡化這個過程,那將會促進忠誠度。

社交平台作為商店

Nectar的創始人正試圖說服公司這是未來的趨勢。

Farah Uraizee表示:「如果品牌不適應這種新一波的消費者行為,他們將失去接觸整整一代人的機會。」她指出,社交平台現在正成為商店。

位於上海的SuperOrdinary,估值達8億美元,可能在營銷方法上最接近Nectar。其他相關公司還包括Algolia、Rebuy和Loup。

Nectar的領導者表示,他們通過提供數據來證明社交商務的努力正在產生結果,從而區分自己。

Misbah Uraizee補充道:「如果你看看目前市場上為這些企業提供的工具和平台,存在一個巨大的鴻溝,試圖將社交商務與互動連接起來,並衡量其投資回報。」她強調,「這是我們的核心論點。」

這位16歲的少女對購物者的體驗充滿期待。

她說:「如果你能安裝一些東西,讓青少年或Z世代普遍對產品和公司感到滿意並感到連接——很多衣物在快時尚中感覺非常無人情味——這對我這一代人來說是更具吸引力的。」

這篇報導不僅揭示了Nectar Social如何利用先進的AI技術來改變消費者購物體驗,也反映了當代年輕人對品牌互動的期待。隨著社交媒體日益成為商務的核心,品牌必須適應這一變化,否則將面臨失去新一代消費者的風險。這樣的趨勢不僅是商業的演變,也是人際互動和消費行為的深刻轉變,值得各界持續關注和研究。

Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections. Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a male model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hairstyle, he is standing confidently, hands in his pockets, looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a simple, light beige crew-neck sweater and dark trousers.
He is positioned between two decorated Christmas trees. The tree to his left is adorned with gold and white ornaments and warm lights, with wrapped red and gold gifts visible at its base. The tree to his right is decorated with red and gold ornaments. The background shows a warm, indoor setting, likely a home, with soft lighting, creating a festive and inviting atmosphere. The overall impression is one of relaxed holiday cheer. Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie.
