How GenAI in retail is helping businesses reinvent processes

In this episode, Jim and Kevin examine the ongoing impact of AI in retail and AI in consumer products. Kevin covers three key use cases playing out across the sector, including Generative AI (GenAI) for product innovation, customer service AI to drive productivity and effectiveness, and AI shopping assistants to transform the customer experience. They also discuss how businesses are using GenAI in retail to drive demand-driven decision-making, optimize pricing and promotions, and reinvent end-to-end processes for greater value. Tune in to uncover key AI trends shaping 2025 and the future of the retail industry as a whole.

 

AI offers the promise of ultimately doing more with less, lowering costs and enabling personalization at scale and much more granular decision-making.
