Hypotenuse AI is a Singapore-born generative AI startup that provides an end-to-end platform for ecommerce product data and content. The platform uses AI agents to enrich product attributes, generate SEO-optimized product descriptions and blog articles, and standardize product imagery, helping brands get accurate, on-brand content to market much faster. It is designed specifically for ecommerce catalogs, from mid-sized brands to large retailers with thousands or millions of SKUs.
Founded in 2020 by Joshua Wong and Low Lin Hui, Hypotenuse AI emerged from Y Combinator’s S20 batch as an AI copywriting tool focused on product descriptions. Over time, it expanded into a broader AI content and product data platform that now powers SEO blogs, marketing copy, image generation, bulk translations, and catalog enrichment. The company has been recognized in media such as TechCrunch, Forbes, TechRadar, and Tech in Asia, and its founders were named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia for Media, Marketing & Advertising.
Today, Hypotenuse AI positions itself as an AI agent platform for ecommerce brands, combining product information management–style capabilities (enrichment, tagging, categorization) with content generation and image editing. Integrations with platforms like Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Salsify, Webflow, and WordPress enable teams to push content directly into their existing workflows without manual copying and pasting. Its HypoChat assistant, HypoArt image generator, blog writer, and bulk content tools are geared toward marketers, merchandisers, and ecommerce operations teams.
The company serves a global customer base from hubs in Singapore and Mountain View, California, including notable brands such as Billabong, Crunchyroll, Tobi, Living Spaces, Arhaus, and Freshly. With a strong focus on enterprise-grade privacy, SOC 2 compliance, and support for 30+ languages, Hypotenuse AI is competing with horizontal AI-writing tools by offering a more vertically focused solution tailored to ecommerce product data, content operations, and marketplace visibility.
