  • Everyone is talking about conversational AI. Far fewer are talking about what it actually takes to make it work in ecommerce. This week's Ecommerce AI Pulse Newsletter explores where conversational AI is delivering results today and why the biggest differentiator isn't the AI model. It's the data, integrations, and implementation strategy behind it. If you're evaluating conversational AI for your ecommerce experience, this guide separates the hype from what's actually working.

Their reflections speak to the power of visibility, belonging, resilience, and the importance of creating workplaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to show up as their authentic selves.

  • AI may grab the headlines. Context will determine the winners.

    Black Friday 2025 may be remembered as the moment AI’s impact on commerce became measurable. In his latest Fortune article – Algolia's Chief Ecosystem Officer Piyush Patel highlights a notable shift: AI-driven traffic increased 805% year-over-year on Black Friday, while AI-assisted shoppers converted 38% more frequently than traditional shoppers. While the attention will go to AI – the competitive advantage came from something else: context, relevance & real-time retrieval. As AI increasingly intermediates interactions between consumers & brands – competitive advantage will be determined less by access to models & more by access to context. The companies that outperformed were not necessarily those with the most advanced AI capabilities – but the ones with the strongest foundations: • High-quality, retrieval-ready data • Relevance infrastructure that understands intent • The ability to deliver accurate, contextual responses in real time In an AI-mediated world – retrieval becomes strategic. AI can only act on information it can access, understand & trust. Organizations that consistently provide the right context at the right moment will outperform those that cannot – regardless of the model they use. And this isn’t just a retail phenomenon. Media, hospitality, healthcare, travel & every customer-facing industry will face the same reality as AI agents increasingly act on behalf of consumers. The winners of the next decade won’t be determined by who adopts AI first. They will be determined by who provides AI with the best context.
