Depict.ai raises $17M to give e-commerce sites Amazon-level product recommendation muscle

Depict.ai has built a product recommendation tool — which it believes can help any retailer sell like Amazon. Depict.ai’s basic premise is that Amazon’s algorithms work so well because they have so much data on their platform about what you, and people similar to you, are buying.

One of the things I don't get about this platform is it is scraping data from all over the web to build recommendations. It's almost like they want to get acquired by one of the major affiliate sites like ShopStyle.
