Company profile
researched Aug 2026Rosetta.ai (Rosetta AI) is a Taiwan-based software-as-a-service company that builds preference analytics and personalized recommendation systems for e-commerce websites, with an emphasis on fashion, beauty and lifestyle merchants. Its platform analyzes real-time browsing behavior together with machine-generated product attributes to map desired item characteristics to individual shoppers and surface personalized recommendations across a merchant's site.
The product suite is organized around four modules: Rosetta AdMatch, an advertising model that places a merchant's products on non-competing, cross-industry websites to reach new customer segments; Rosetta Engage, interactive recommendation experiences intended to raise checkout conversion; Rosetta Analytics, which uses image-based deep learning to automatically generate product labels and combines them with consumer preference data for merchandising insight; and Rosetta Automation, which coordinates retargeting messages across EDM, SMS and LINE push notifications to avoid duplicate messaging and drive repurchase. The company positions the combined toolset as covering each step of the e-commerce sales cycle, from traffic acquisition through on-site personalization to member retention and marketing automation.
