SOORT

The Swiss AI shopping concierge for responsible consumption

 

SOORT is developing an AI-based shopping concierge that helps consumers to shop more consciously and conserve resources. The platform shows user-based new, used, rentable and, in future, repairable options, with verified stores, a transparent database and full EU AI Act compliance.

 

Goal: Simplify responsible consumer behavior by making sustainable decisions faster and more attractive.

 

 

Strongly anchored in the Zurich innovation system

 

SOORT is part of the SME & Startup AI program of the Canton of Zurich and works directly with the Swiss Data Science Center (ETH/EPFL). This roundtable gives selected companies access to scientific excellence, the development of AI prototypes and an in-depth exchange on responsible AI.

 

In addition, SOORT is actively supported by Innovation Zurich and is part of the regional ecosystem around the Zurich AI hub.
