AI Behind the Scenes: Predicting Demand and Improving Efficiency

If you thought those popular toys miraculously appeared on the shelves think again! Retailers are using AI to predict demand order inventory and improve efficiency. Walmart uses AI to shape decisions about holiday inventory while Target forecasts demand and Nordstrom uses AI to optimize delivery routes and personalize search results. These advancements not only make shopping more convenient but they also free up employees' time.

ChatGPT as a Personal Assistant: Making Shopping Simpler

Imagine having a personal assistant who can help you choose the perfect holiday gift or put together a trendy outfit. While we're not there yet generative AI tools like ChatGPT are bridging the gap. Consumers are increasingly using AI powered tools to get personalized product recommendations and try on clothes virtually. Retailers like Walmart and Kohl's are also exploring AI powered features to create customized shopping experiences.

AI isn't just changing the shopping experience; it's also driving sales of high tech products. Retailers like Best Buy are offering AI enabled devices such as smartphones and smart glasses that provide unique features like noise cancellation and voice activated assistants. Microsoft Copilot even automates tasks in programs like Outlook and Excel. While consumer electronics sales have slowed these AI enhanced products are still worth checking out!
