Kalan Peace, founder of Caeliai.

Who I am

I work at the intersection of machine learning, visual understanding, and the way people discover products online. My current focus is making AI shopping systems more measurable and more useful for ecommerce brands.

Caeliai publishes research on how AI systems perceive, recommend, and route people to products, then turns those observations into practical visibility work for brands.
