Problem the AI is intended to solve

The AI is intended to solve the problem of poor quality or inaccurate product photos on the FAS Catalog Platform, which negatively impacts the buying experience for government purchasers and potentially sales for vendors. Currently, manual review of these images is impractical due to the large volume of products, leading to many substandard images remaining on GSA Advantage. By automating the assessment of image quality and accuracy, the AI aims to streamline the review process and improve the overall visual quality of product listings.
