Arcade

The Tech Week calendar is live. 2,000+ events across San Francisco and Los Angeles, and registration is open now.

I’m excited to announce Raghudeep Gadde as our Head of AI Research at Arcade, where he joins Varun Jampani, our Chief AI Officer. Raghudeep joins us from Amazon, where he spent eight years as a Principal Applied Scientist in Computer Vision across Amazon’s North American Retail and Advertising organizations. He began his tenure within the Hardlines business of North American Retail, and most recently worked within Amazon Advertising, solving complex problems in product image and video transformation, visualization, and realism at massive scale. His work helped shape how customers discover, evaluate, and trust products across Amazon’s ecosystem. Arcade is building the world’s first AI physical product creation platform, where imagination becomes reality. Our platform lets anyone design, purchase, and sell custom, manufacturable products using natural language and generative AI. We believe everyone should have the power to create physical goods as easily as they post online, and we’re building the infrastructure to make that real. Raghudeep’s experience will directly influence how customers see, interact with, and trust the products created on Arcade, and I’m excited to have someone with Raghudeep’s experience and judgment as my partner as we enter our next chapter and reimagine commerce for the AI era.

Story, taste and trust: the key differentiators in consumer AI. Today, we unveil our long-planned expansion, adding home decor to jewelry in our ever-expanding multi-category marketplace.  We’ve added luxury brand partnerships with brands like Christofle, Bitossi Ceramiche, Cabana Magazine, Anastasio Home and Salam Hello in the home decor space, and L&Co. and Noemie in the jewelry space.  We’re deeply honored to have earned their trust training their models so that consumers can customize orders made by them. I’m equally excited to launch in beta an AI agent that I’ve personally co-authored with Stephen Chu and Abel Regalado—the first-ever AI custom design assistant that helps you instantly create real things—just in time to make memorable, unique holiday gifts for friends and family. Our agent, who we’ve nicknamed “Maia” (My AI Assistant), is that personal shopper / best friend who can help design immediately buyable products in real time, enabling anyone to create custom jewelry, gifts, and home decor pieces through conversation. Finally, I can’t thank enough the visionaries who have launched exclusive home decor collections on Arcade, including Brigette Romanek, Kathy Kuo, Dan Rosen, Estelle Bailey-Babenzien, Flynn McGarry, Gabriella Khalil, Lynn Yaeger, and Maca Huneeus. This holiday season, recreate your grandmother's lost necklace. Design barware etched with the coordinates where you met. Create a christening gift engraved with your family's story. Every piece carries the narrative that matters to you. AI and craftsmanship aren't opposites — their partnership is the future of meaningful commerce that is defined by story, taste, and trust.
