Stitch Fix uses GPT-3 to automatically generate advertising headline copy for its Facebook and Instagram ads, with human copywriters reviewing and editing each headline before publication. Every advertisement displayed on Facebook and Instagram is generated by this AI system.
Details
The system first uses Stitch Fix's 'Latent Style' algorithm and word embeddings to identify which style keywords (such as 'effortless,' 'classic,' or 'boho') best match each outfit image used in an ad. Those keywords are then fed into GPT-3 using few-shot learning to generate multiple headline candidates. Human copywriters review the outputs for brand alignment. Stitch Fix's engineering blog described that traditional copywriting for every new ad asset was time-consuming and did not always produce unique copy.
