Ximilar

Ximilar provides a powerful suite of visual AI tools designed to help businesses recognize, search, and enhance images with artificial intelligence. It offers a versatile platform that combines ready-to-use solutions with the ability to create highly customized AI models tailored to specific business needs. The platform is built to be accessible for everyone, featuring a no-code environment that allows users to build sophisticated computer vision models without writing a single line of code.

How to use Ximilar

Getting started with Ximilar is a straightforward process designed for both developers and non-technical users. The workflow is typically broken down into these steps:

1. Sign Up & Test: Create a free account on the Ximilar App. You can immediately start testing the ready-to-use AI solutions by uploading your own images to see how they perform.
2. Build & Annotate: For custom needs, use the no-code platform to build your own models. This involves uploading your dataset and using the efficient image annotation tools to label your data, which is crucial for training accurate models. Team collaboration features are available for bulk annotation.
3. Combine Models: Ximilar's modular structure allows you to combine pre-trained and custom-built models into complex sequences called 'Flows'. This enables you to create sophisticated image processing pipelines tailored to your specific workflow.
4. Connect via API: Once your models or flows are ready, you can easily integrate them into your website, application, or internal systems using a well-documented REST API. Ximilar provides client libraries in popular languages like Python and PHP to simplify the integration process.

Core Features of Ximilar

• No-Code Computer Vision Platform: An intuitive interface for building, training, and deploying custom image recognition and object detection models without any coding expertise.
• Visual Search: Advanced image similarity search that allows users to find visually similar items in a collection. This includes search-by-image, reverse image search, and product recommendations.
• Image Recognition & Tagging: Automatically categorize images and assign relevant tags. Specialized models are available for fashion, home decor, stock photos, and more, capable of identifying objects, attributes, colors, and styles.
• Collectibles Recognition: A specialized AI solution to identify, classify, and even grade collectibles like trading cards (TCG & Sports Cards), comics, stamps, and coins.
• Object Detection: Detect and locate specific objects within an image, returning their bounding box coordinates. This is useful for everything from quality control to inventory management.
• Image Enhancement Tools: Includes services like AI-powered background removal and image upscaling to improve image quality.
• REST API: A robust and scalable API for integrating all of Ximilar's visual AI capabilities into any application.

Use Cases for Ximilar

Ximilar's technology is applied across numerous industries:

• E-commerce & Fashion: Automating product tagging, providing visual search for better product discovery, offering similar product recommendations, and generating product descriptions.
• Collectibles Marketplaces: Automating the identification and grading of sports and trading cards, helping users quickly find card prices and information.
• Stock Photography: Automatically generating keywords and tags for large image libraries, improving searchability and saving countless hours of manual work.
• Real Estate: Classifying property photos (e.g., kitchen, bedroom, outdoor), detecting furniture, and enhancing property listings.
• Manufacturing: Implementing automated quality control systems by training models to detect defects or anomalies in products on an assembly line.
• MedTech: Assisting in the analysis of medical images, such as X-rays, to identify patterns or anomalies (as demonstrated by customer testimonials).

Advantages of Ximilar

Ximilar stands out with several key benefits:

• Accessibility: The no-code platform democratizes computer vision, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes without needing a dedicated machine learning team.
• All-in-One Solution: It provides a comprehensive suite of tools, from data annotation to model deployment and API integration, all under one roof.
• Cost-Effective: The pricing model is based on usage (API credits), with free training and deployment. This eliminates high upfront costs and makes it a scalable solution.
• Customization & Flexibility: Users can either use pre-built models for quick deployment or build highly specific custom models from scratch. The modular 'Flows' feature adds another layer of flexibility.
• Security & Privacy: Ximilar is GDPR compliant, with data stored on secure servers in the EU. Users retain intellectual property rights to the models they train.

Pricing and Plans

Ximilar operates on a freemium, pay-as-you-go model based on API credits. Different API calls consume a varying number of credits.

• Free Plan: Includes 1,000 API credits per month, allowing users to test the platform and build basic models. No credit card is required.
• Business Plans: Starting from €59/month for 100,000 credits, these plans are designed for businesses that need to automate image processing at a larger scale. Higher-tier business plans offer more credits.
• Professional Plans: Starting from €499/month for 1,000,000 credits, these plans are for companies with large data volumes, offering priority support, regular consultations, and higher limits on tasks and collections.
• Credit Packs: For unexpected traffic spikes, users can purchase extra credit packs that do not expire.

Training models, deployment, and idle time are all free of charge. You only pay for the API calls made in production, making it a highly efficient pricing structure.
