Student Innovation Spotlight
Divine Eyo is a Software Engineering student at Carleton University and the founder of Spequlo, a proudly student built fashion-tech startup building what they call an “agentic fitting room.” Spequlo allows shoppers to virtually try on clothing using AI-powered technology, helping them visualize how outfits will look before purchasing online.
Divine developed Spequlo after noticing how difficult it is to shop for clothing online with confidence especially when it comes to fit, styling, and sizing. As both a developer and a frequent online shopper, I saw an opportunity to combine computer vision, generative AI, and personalization systems to solve a real-world problem that millions of consumers face.
Where is Spequlo today? While working with the Innovation Hub Spequlo is currently piloting integrations with fashion brands while continuing to refine fit and sizing intelligence layer. The long-term vision is to become the infrastructure layer for online fashion powering personalized fitting experiences across retailers.
