Gemini picks the best packing material for each product
momo.com used Gemini to choose packaging and reported about 5% fewer cartons a day
Problem
An online retailer ships a very wide range of products, and choosing the right carton or packing material for each one affects both packaging cost and waste.
Approach
momo worked with Google Cloud and used Gemini to judge product characteristics and select the most suitable packing material.
Results
Takeaway
Packaging is a small, measurable decision made at very high volume, which makes it easy to check against cost. The figures come from a Google Cloud-side column, not from momo.
