In today’s competitive and fragmented global furniture market, precision, speed, and user experience are critical factors in determining which suppliers rise above the rest. For B2B buyers, the process of sourcing the right dining chair isn’t just about choosing a product – it’s about finding a piece that fits perfectly within a larger context: aesthetic harmony, price competitiveness, material requirements, sustainability expectations, and market trends.

Recognizing the complexity of this challenge, ASKT has launched a powerful new digital assistant tailored specifically for professional furniture buyers: Sunbin AI Agent. This intelligent tool brings a fresh perspective to product sourcing by leveraging visual recognition and conversational intelligence to help buyers make confident, efficient decisions.


A New Standard in Furniture Intelligence

ASKT has always believed that B2B buyers deserve more than just a product catalog. They need a partner who understands the nuances of their markets and the subtle demands of their clients. With this in mind, Sunbin AI Agent was developed as a visual sourcing and decision-support tool that bridges the gap between creativity, market insight, and technical product detail.

What sets Sunbin AI Agent apart is its ability to not only answer questions but to proactively assist buyers in discovering the most suitable chairs based on images, preferences, or project needs. Whether you're a wholesaler in Germany, a sourcing manager in the Netherlands, or a platform operator in the UK, this tool is built to help you find the right product faster, and with more confidence.


Dialogue-Based, Buyer-Oriented Assistance

One of the most powerful features of Sunbin AI Agent is its conversational interface. Buyers can engage in natural dialogue with the AI, asking:

  • “Can you recommend dining chairs that go with walnut tables?”

  • “Do you have something similar to this chair I saw on Wayfair?”

  • “Which chairs are trending in the German market this year?”

The AI doesn't just give a "yes or no" answer — it explains why a certain chair is a good match. It might mention fabric durability, base compatibility, comfort level, market fit, or sustainability attributes. This helps buyers build both commercial and technical confidence in their selections.


Visual Sourcing: Search by Image

At the heart of Sunbin AI Agent is a breakthrough feature: search by image. This goes beyond basic text filtering. Here’s how buyers can leverage this capability:

  1. Table-Based Matching Buyers can upload a photo of a dining table, and the AI will suggest compatible chair models – considering style, proportion, materials, and color tone.

    Example: A buyer uploads a picture of an oak dining table with industrial legs. The AI recommends a chair with a matte black metal frame and olive-green fabric – a look that aligns with modern industrial interiors.

  2. Competitive Product Matching Found a chair on a competitor’s website? Upload the image. Sunbin AI Agent will analyze it and suggest an ASKT equivalent with similar dimensions, appearance, and materials – often with a competitive edge on price or sustainability.

    Example: A product manager uploads a screenshot from an online marketplace. Sunbin AI finds a visual match in the ASKT catalog and provides a downloadable product sheet.

  3. Home Scene Analysis For projects involving residential layout planning, the AI can analyze family environment photos and recommend chairs, barstools, or lounge seating that complement the space.

    Example: A buyer uploads a photo of a Nordic-style kitchen with light wood and white cabinets. The AI suggests a curved-back light beige chair with slim oak legs to keep the aesthetic clean and warm.

  4. Showroom/Exhibition Booth Matching For professional buyers setting up showrooms or retail spaces, uploading booth photos allows the AI to detect design language and recommend seating solutions to match the intended display ambiance.

    Example: An importer shares a booth rendering with a high-gloss marble table and gold accents. The AI recommends chairs with soft velvet upholstery and brass-plated legs to elevate the visual appeal.


Beyond Recommendations: Knowledge at Your Fingertips

What makes Sunbin AI Agent truly buyer-centric is its ability to explain product USPs (unique selling points) in technical, market-relevant language. If you ask about:

  • Fabric durability: It will explain the Martindale rating.

  • Sustainability: It will highlight recycled materials and low-VOC finishes.

  • Functionality: It can explain swivel features, ergonomic aspects, or compatibility with different floor types.

This transforms the AI from a mere chatbot into a knowledgeable assistant that helps sales teams and product managers alike.


Market Insight and Trend Adaptation


One of the key concerns for buyers today is how to stay aligned with consumer preferences in a rapidly evolving market. Sunbin AI Agent is trained on real sales data and regional insights, helping buyers understand which styles, colors, and formats are trending.

This means a buyer sourcing for the Netherlands might get different product suggestions than one sourcing for Slovenia – not just based on visuals, but on regional preferences.


A Tool Built With Empathy


Sunbin AI Agent is more than technology. It reflects ASKT’s understanding of the buyer's daily challenges: tight deadlines, unclear specs from clients, and the overwhelming number of options on the market. By combining image recognition with domain knowledge, the tool simplifies complexity without oversimplifying the choices.

The goal is not to replace the buyer, but to empower them – to give them more clarity, better options, and faster decisions.
