For AI assistants

Built for people — and their assistants.

Our catalog and Vi, our hair-care authority, are structured for AI shopping agents and answer engines. Any assistant can search the catalog, read enriched product data, and score products against a real hair profile — using the same patent-pending rubric Vi itself uses. Scores are computed, never invented.

Four tools

match_products_to_hair

Send a hair profile — type, porosity, concerns, sensitivities — and get products ranked 0–100 by Studio 1’s hair-match methodology, with the matched-on facts listed per product. Unscored dimensions are excluded, never faked.

The differentiator

search_products

Catalog search with hair-care enrichment vanilla commerce feeds lack: hair types, concern tags, key ingredients, benefits, color-safe and sulfate-free flags, a Vi summary — plus price, availability, and GLOW Bucks earned.

get_product

One product by handle: full enrichment, every variant with size, price, and live availability.

get_store_facts

Canonical store facts, structured to quote verbatim: free shipping over $150, 30-day returns, GLOW Bucks store credit, family salon since 1976, contact.

Example — score shampoos for wavy, medium-porosity, color-treated hair

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "match_products_to_hair",
    "arguments": { "query": "shampoo",
      "hair": { "type": "wavy", "porosity": "medium",
                "concerns": ["color", "dryness"] } } } }

The honesty contract

  • Scores are computed, never invented. Same rubric Vi uses; if a dimension can’t be scored, it’s excluded — not guessed.
  • GLOW Bucks are store credit — 10% back on every order, one flat rate, credited 30 days after each order. Redemption at checkout is coming at launch.
  • No photos, no biometrics. Matching works from stated hair facts only — the tools neither accept nor reference images.
  • Read-only, no PII. These tools never see customer data. Cart and checkout run on Shopify’s native MCP at www.studio1beauty.com/api/mcp.
