Solution
Lowe’s built a three-part retail AI platform that combines customer-facing assistants, associate tools, computer vision, and digital twins on NVIDIA technology. Mylow runs inside the Lowe’s app and website, where OpenAI models fine-tuned on Lowe’s proprietary data use retrieval-augmented generation and NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails to answer home-improvement questions with project steps, product recommendations, and real-time inventory context. The same engine powers Mylow Companion for store associates. At the physical layer, Lowe’s runs GPUs and micro-data centers built on Dell PowerEdge XR servers across stores so computer vision can spot when customers need help and alert nearby staff in real time. For planning and merchandising, NVIDIA Omniverse, OpenUSD, RTX workstations, the USD Search API, and Hyper3D.ai’s Rodin support digital twins of 1,750+ stores, AI-assisted 3D asset creation, and scenario testing for localized planograms before physical changes are made.
Data flow
Customer and associate questions flow into Mylow and Mylow Companion, which use guarded RAG responses tied to Lowe’s product and inventory data, while in-store camera and edge systems drive computer-vision alerts, and the resulting operational data feeds Omniverse-based digital twins for merchandising and layout optimization.
