A&F Co.'s CDTO described the AI Stylist at NRF 2024 as a fundamentally different way for customers to find products, using questions and natural-language prompts rather than keywords. The feature was confirmed active in the Abercrombie brand app and was also described on A&F Co.'s official corporate blog. The CDTO noted that even when shoppers do not purchase, the conversational interactions generate valuable intent data about what customers are looking for. At NRF 2026, Desai continued to discuss the shift from keyword to conversational search as a core strategy, suggesting continued investment in this direction.
