Artificial intelligence and LLM technologies are increasingly used in all industries - today the Hifiverse portal activated the AI-Agent function, which helps in choosing Hi-Fi and High-End audio equipment. 90% of the components in the portal catalog now have an activated AI summary function, using a whole bunch of modern LLM solutions, the RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) algorithm and unique Hifiverse developments.

Thus, for almost all acoustic systems, amplifiers, players, vinyl players and other components in the Hifiverse catalog, the user has access not only to an editorial description, photos and technical characteristics, but also an extensive summary-story about product opinions, genre preferences, requirements for other components in the system and much, much more. The function is activated by pressing the “Get AI summary” button with the request “Ask AI to scan specialized sites and forums, evaluate the impressions of using the product, its advantages and disadvantages and get a summary.” Further activation of advanced AI capabilities is planned, including checking the compatibility of specific equipment and selecting complete systems.
