I get asked all the time why we "pointed our big AI guns" to the world of Commerce and Consumer Retail, fully focusing on it since our inception. The answer is simple: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗦 (𝟮𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆) 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆! No one would have believed us when we predicted the appetite of retailers for adopting a brand new disruptive technology back in 2021. Fast forward, 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

We believe that a lot of industries will copy our commerce playbook on how to productionize AI strategy effectively. I'm so excited about the future of Augmented Intelligence (AI) that we are co-creating with our tremendous retail partners.
