01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Skintelligent was a beauty-tech startup founded in 2019 by Eleanor Jones, a former Coca-Cola executive. It developed an AI-enabled skin diagnostic tool: a computer-vision deep-learning model that analyzed a smartphone selfie to detect skin conditions, layered on environmental factors such as UV exposure and air pollution, and then recommended a shortlist of suitable products. The angle was product discovery—narrowing a retailer's long list of products down to those appropriate for the consumer's skin type.
