THE YES is a retail app and platform that focuses on women's fashion and clothing. Its algorithms analyze user data in order to optimize product personalization. [1] [2] THE YES has headquarters in New York City and Silicon Valley, California. [3]
On June 10, 2022, THE YES was acquired by Pinterest, Inc. [4]
THE YES was founded in 2018 by former Stitch Fix COO Julie Bornstein and Amit Aggarwal, formerly of Bloomreach. [5] [6] The app began development in 2018 and was released in May 2020. [7]
At launch, THE YES was the first app to use Apple's App Clips in iOS 14. [8]
Although THE YES originally started out as an app, in 2021 the company also launched the same functionality on their website. [9]
In 2025, cofounder Julie Bornstein launched Daydream, an AI-powered fashion shopping platform. [10] [11]
The Yes uses AI technology to curate a feed of fashion product recommendations based on a user's individual preferences. Upon downloading the app, users will be asked a series of questions to determine their aesthetic preferences. [12] [13] These include questions about preferred brands, colors, styles, and sizes. [14] Users can also vote "yes" or "no" to signify whether they like a product being shown. [15] [16] The platform's algorithms tailor recommendations based on this information. [17]
In 2021, The Yes started allowing users to invite friends to view their liked items and provide feedback via emojis. [18]
The Yes has more than 250 brands, [19] 40 of which are plus-size. [20] The Yes has brands such as Prada, Ralph Lauren, Levi's, Bottega Veneta, and Zara. [21]
The Yes offers price matching and price filtering, but does not use traditional shopping filters. [22]
