Joe Monastiero

Serial entrepreneur with a proven track record across consumer software, media, and AI. Founded Intervideo in 1999 — grew WinDVD to over 500 million copies shipped, took the company public on NASDAQ, and was acquired by Corel. Later acquired by Intel.

Spent more than a decade in AI/ML research focused on computer vision and multimodal product understanding. Now applying that depth to build visualAI: the AI-native product discovery platform that every e-commerce merchant needs but that nobody has built yet.

AI-first from day one — no legacy headcount, no legacy stack, no compromise on what the AI commerce era demands.

34-Claim Pending Patent

USPTO Application No. 19/211,109 — 34 claims covering visualAI's multi-modal product discovery system. The patent covers the combination of text embeddings, color vector search, and visual image understanding into a unified trimodal search architecture — the core of shopperGPT.

This represents 10+ years of AI/ML research in computer vision and product understanding, distilled into a filed patent covering the novel technical architecture that enables simultaneous text, color, and image-based product retrieval at scale.

Mission

The AI commerce infrastructure layer doesn't exist yet. Merchants are invisible to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. The onsite search experience on most storefronts is a keyword box from 2005. We're building the platform that fixes both — simultaneously, for every merchant, at every scale.
