🔍 Behind the Scenes: Building the Gozdos Matching Algorithm with AI

At Gozdos, our mission is simple: to make quality hair care accessible, convenient, and personalized—anywhere, anytime. But making that vision a reality takes more than just a booking platform. It takes intelligence, adaptability, and technology that understands your unique needs.

That’s why we’re excited to share that we are currently developing a smart matching algorithm that uses AI to connect clients with the right hairdressers—based on location, availability, and personal preferences.

💡 What We're Building

When someone books a hair appointment, it's not just about finding someone nearby—it's about finding the right stylist who fits their needs, schedule, and style. Our AI-driven algorithm will take into account:

• Location proximity — to find professionals who are truly nearby and available to travel.

• Availability and timing — syncing calendars in real-time to show only the slots that work for both parties.

• Style preferences and hair type — using insights from customer profiles and past reviews to recommend hairdressers with the right skills.

Think of it as a personalized concierge that knows your style and connects you with the perfect hair professional every time.

🧠 Led by AI Research Expertise

This cutting-edge feature is being spearheaded by our Co-Founder and CTO, Dr. Lydia Asrat, who holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and has deep expertise in Artificial Intelligence.

Lydia is currently leading research into the most effective AI models for dynamic, real-time matching in service marketplaces. Her work focuses on how machine learning can adapt to a user’s preferences over time and how to build fairness and transparency into the recommendation engine.

Here’s what Lydia shared about the vision:

“We want the Gozdos experience to feel effortless. The AI we’re building will not only consider what users say they want—but also learn from what they actually do, improving over time to deliver better, more relevant matches.”

🔜 What’s Next?

We’re in active development and testing stages, and we can’t wait to roll out a beta version of our smart matching feature soon. If you're a customer or a stylist already on our waitlist, you'll be among the first to try it out.

We believe this technology will be a game changer—not just for hair care, but for how people experience service delivery in everyday life.

Stay tuned as we continue building the future of personalized beauty services.
