Looking for a matte black ceiling fan with a light from Minka, modern, about 52 inches wide

Great — you want a matte black, modern Minka Aire ceiling fan with a light around 52", perfect for a medium‑sized room like a bedroom or living area; I’ll look for sleek, contemporary options in that finish and size.

But only with DC motors

Got it — you want fixtures that use DC motors. I’ll look for ceiling fans and other motorized fixtures with DC motors, focusing on the size, style, and finish you prefer; if you tell me the room, I’ll suggest which fan types work best there.

We extract structured filters automatically—no manual toggles.

We use computer vision models — The future of product image search

Input Text or Image

Upload a product photo or describe what you're looking for. Our AI converts both images and natural language into semantic embeddings.

Generate Embeddings

Your input is transformed into high-dimensional vectors that capture visual features, style, and semantic meaning in a unified embedding space.

Find Nearest Matches

Using a machine learning model, we instantly find products with similar embeddings, returning visually and semantically related items with extracted attributes.
