Angara

Client Overview

Founded in 2005 by Ankur and Aditi Daga—backed by a 300-year gemstone legacy—Angara is a D2C, vertically integrated jeweler that controls everything from sourcing stones to crafting final pieces. While its online customization tools are robust, the brand saw a gap: customers still missed the one-to-one guidance of an in-store expert.

The Challenge: Too Many Choices, Not Enough Help

Imagine wanting to buy the most important ring of your life, but feeling like you need to be a gem expert to do it. That was the problem many of Angara’s customers faced. They knew the feeling they wanted the ring to have—maybe “timeless,” “adventurous,” or “delicate”—but they didn’t know the technical words to find it.

This gap between emotion and technology often led to:

  • Confusion: Customers felt overwhelmed by thousands of ring options.
  • Frustration: Trying to match their vision to website filters was difficult.
  • Doubt: Without expert guidance, they were afraid of making an expensive mistake.

The Solution: A Personal Jeweler, Available 24/7

Auriga IT built an AI assistant that changes the conversation entirely. It works in a few simple steps:

  1. It Starts With Your Love Story Instead of showing you a generic catalog, the AI assistant begins with a simple invitation: “Tell me your story.” You can chat with it like a person, sharing details about how you met and what makes your partner unique.
  2. It Creates Your Ring’s “Personality Profile” As you talk, the AI cleverly identifies the key themes and feelings of your relationship. It uses these ideas—like “strength,” “elegance,” or “a love for nature”—to build a unique profile for the kind of ring that would be a perfect fit.
  3. You Swipe Through a Personal Catalog Based on your story, the AI presents a curated collection of rings in an easy-to-use format. You simply swipe right on the designs you like and swipe left on those you don’t. This quick, visual feedback helps the AI instantly learn your style preferences without more conversation.
  4. It Becomes Your Design Partner The AI takes your “liked” rings and explains why each one is a great match for your story. For example, it might say, “Since you mentioned your ten-year journey together, I suggest this durable platinum band, which represents strength and lasting love.
  5. You Can Customize It Live Found a ring you almost love? Just ask to tweak it. You can say things like, “Show me that in rose gold,” or “Can I see a slightly bigger diamond?” The AI will update the design for you instantly, making you the co-creator of your ring.
