In the universe where tech and attractiveness meet, Estée Lauder Companies and Microsoft made a big step. They shared news about growing their partnership, looking at how creative AI can change the high-end beauty sector. Both the companies have together created the new AI Innovation Lab where they will develop solutions to create closer consumer connections and increase speed to market with local relevancy

It is not only to make stuff look attractive. It also means building a stronger relationship with customers, making the journey from idea to marketplace faster, and confirming that items are suitable for local areas. Imagine a chatbot capable of searching through a large database to assist in starting campaigns that connect well with local people. Or artificial intelligence applications able to forecast upcoming trends in skincare or cosmetics.

Jane Lauder from ELC and Shelley Bransten of Microsoft both highlight how generative AI can change the beauty business a lot. It can make experiences for customers that are more tailored to them, and help create products that are new and also good for the environment; there are so many opportunities. Let us also remember the Voice-Enabled Makeup Assistant, an innovative application created by Estee Lauder and Microsoft to help people who cannot see have access to beauty. This application shows how technology can truly change lives for the better.

The collaboration between ELC and Microsoft started in 2017, has always focused on moving beyond limits. With their new project, they are not just following current styles; they are creating them. The AI Innovation Lab is ready to change the understanding of potential in the beauty sector, aiming for greater inclusivity, increased creativity, and better alignment with consumer desires.
