Facebook has purchased an artificial intelligence startup that could change the way you browse Marketplace, according to Bloomberg. The social network has acquired a company called GrokStyle, which created a visual search technology that enables you to take a photo of a real-world object and use it to look for similar items online. It's the same technology powering the Ikea Place app's visual search function -- TechCrunch says it was so impressive that the Swedish company wanted to roll it out as one of its app's features "on first sight."
