Semantic visual search for wedding inspiration discovery using OpenAI CLIP embeddings and TypeSense vector indexing for instant, tag-free image retrieval.
CyberMind Works built an AI-powered semantic image search engine for Uthsav, a modern wedding planning platform that simplifies how Indian wedding customers discover vendors and inspiration. The key challenge was enabling users to search visually across thousands of wedding images (decoration styles, photography references, bridal looks, stage setups) without relying on manual tagging or keyword-based search.
Built using OpenAI CLIP embeddings for semantic understanding and TypeSense vector indexing for lightning-fast retrieval, the system enables users to search using natural language queries like "royal mandap" or "minimal pastel theme" and receive instant, relevant image results. The platform eliminates the need for manual image tagging while delivering intent-based matching that understands concepts beyond exact keywords.
This case study explores the technical architecture, vector search implementation, and engineering decisions that enable Uthsav to deliver instant, tag-free visual discovery at scale for wedding inspiration.
CyberMind Works created a production-grade vector-based semantic image search engine where both images and text queries are converted into embeddings and matched based on similarity. The system combines:
This approach creates a Pinterest-style inspiration discovery experience where users can type naturally ("simple white floral theme") and the system matches the concept, not exact words. The result is instant results, higher relevance, and zero manual tagging overhead.
A streamlined architecture combining CLIP embeddings with TypeSense vector indexing for lightning-fast semantic search.

How a user query becomes ranked image results in milliseconds.
When images are uploaded to the platform:
When a user searches (e.g., 'elegant wedding decorations'):
TypeSense performs high-speed matching:
The system returns:
A direct comparison between traditional keyword search and our AI-powered semantic approach.
A focused stack optimized for semantic search performance and scalability.
The AI image search engine significantly improved user experience and business metrics.
More accurate inspiration discovery with semantic matching
Lightning-fast retrieval experience with TypeSense
Users browse more, discover more, spend more time
Better discovery for vendors through intent-based queries
This engagement showcases CyberMind Works' ability to deliver production-ready AI image search systems built for real-world visual discovery challenges. The Uthsav AI image search feature demonstrates how OpenAI CLIP embeddings, TypeSense vector indexing, and semantic similarity matching can create a premium inspiration discovery experience for wedding planning.
By combining multi-modal embeddings that understand both images and text with fast vector search and intent-based matching, the platform enables users to search using natural language queries like "royal mandap" or "minimal pastel theme" and receive instant, relevant results. This eliminates manual tagging overhead while delivering higher relevance than traditional keyword search.
Designed for scale and performance, the system handles thousands of images with in-memory indexing, supports evolving visual content, and maintains instant retrieval speeds without compromising search quality or user experience. The result is a Pinterest-style inspiration discovery experience that makes wedding planning smoother and more exciting for users.
