Lets say you are looking for a stock photo of a dog to use in your landing page like this one: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-110687501/stock-photo-dog-ab...

Google Image Search API does not let you search multiple Stock Photo providers for photos. We are using APIs from multiple vendors to fetch the stock photos.

Secondly, our AI is geared towards stock photos. You can start searching for "dog" in aiphotosearch.com, then like a couple of photos that are closest to the one you are looking for and then refine results. We train a model that "understands" what you liked vs discarded and uses that to bring more results.
