CommerceClarity, an Italian AI platform that helps enterprise retailers and brands like Prada structure and enrich their product-catalogue data, acquired Barcelona-based startup Katalogo.ai in its first acquisition, 18 months after founding and six months after raising €2.7M. Katalogo.ai built AI styling agents that analyze a retailer's catalogue to generate curated outfit and product recommendations, complementary technology that CommerceClarity's CEO said attacks the same product-data problem from the merchant side while his company focused on enterprise infrastructure. Katalogo.ai founder Luca Cozzolino, a former Shopify and Zalando product leader, joins as chief product officer, and the deal coincides with CommerceClarity's first expansion outside Italy into the UK.
