What is Haftalikaktuel?

Haftalikaktuel is a Turkish platform that uses AI to parse weekly retail catalog images into structured, searchable product data for price comparisons.

How does AI extract data from unstructured catalogs?

It combines YOLO for cropping product regions, then Gemini LLMs to output JSON with names, prices, and attributes — beating traditional OCR on chaotic layouts.

Can this pipeline work for non-Turkish retail catalogs?

Yes, with model retraining; the architecture's flexible for any dense promo image, like US flyers or Indian kirana lists.
