SAN DIEGO, DEMOfall, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Retrevo today unveiled
the first dedicated search engine for consumer electronics research,
purchases and support. Using Retrevo, consumers will find complete coverage
for twelve categories, including cell phones, smartphones, cameras,
camcorders, home audio and home video, portable audio and portable video,
printers and wireless networking (WiFi). On stage at DEMOfall, Retrevo will
demonstrate how it uses artificial intelligence to map the entire online
knowledgebase for consumer electronics products and provide useful and
accurate information to consumers.
"While there is a seemingly insatiable consumer appetite for new
consumer electronic products, the information needed to buy the right
product and integrate it into the home is often scattered about the Web and
difficult to find. Retrevo does a great job addressing this problem; its
unique focus and innovative technology are among the reasons I invited them
to present at DEMOfall," said Chris Shipley, executive producer, DEMO
Conferences.
Retrevo uses proprietary algorithms to crawl, collect, analyze and
classify all known information for consumer electronics products. The
company's machine learning technology performs deep content analysis,
classification and retrieval, so consumers get the right answers right
away.
"New gadgets and products appear daily that promise to make our work
more productive and our lives more entertaining -- but with unlimited
choice comes the daunting effort to find the right product, get it to work
with every other one we own and keep it up and running," said Vipin Jain,
CEO, Retrevo. "As self-professed gadget geeks, we set out to create a
comprehensive consumer electronics research site that would address the
full lifecycle of the products we buy, install, connect to other devices
and ultimately fix or replace."
"Consumer electronics is a $130 billion market in the United States
alone, but no company offers a single site to support consumers throughout
the lifecycle of these products," said Ammar Hanafi, general partner, Alloy
Ventures -- an investor in Retrevo. "We see a clear opportunity for Retrevo
to become the primary online destination for consumer electronics research
as it helps people complete their search for the best products, information
and support on the Web."
