		</div><p>Facebook has bought an AI furniture shopping startup called GrokStyle, as the social network continues to broaden its technology with greater focus on artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>The San Francisco-based company, which was founded in 2015, developed technology that allows consumers to take a photo of furniture and uses AI to identify similar products available online.</p>
<p>Ikea is one of GrokStyle’s notable clients, who integrated the feature in their AR app.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/C26394E1-3793-47F9-B062-2EED7ED8BCB8.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-125775" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/C26394E1-3793-47F9-B062-2EED7ED8BCB8.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="635" /></a></p>
<p>“We are excited to welcome GrokStyle to Facebook,” a Facebook spokeswoman said.</p>
<p>“Their team and technology will contribute to our AI capabilities.”</p>
<p>According to the startup’s LinkedIn page, between two and ten people work at GrokStyle.</p>
<p>Facebook has acquired a number of AI specialist startups over the years.</p>
<p>In 2018, it bought out London-based Bloomsbury AI, which builds tools to help tackle fake news.</p>
