Amazon Dash Buttons are small devices that allow you to order products at the touch of a button, but each of the buttons is limited to a single product. What if you don't want to order the same thing every time, but want to get whatever merchandise or product your favourite Instagram influencer is promoting today instead? The Dashing Buttonsolves this by downloading the latest pictures posted by your favourite Instagram influencers. Using computer vision it finds keywords related to what is visible in the image, and uses those keywords to find a matching product on Amazon.
