RetailClub was different. Plenty of conferences talk about bringing retailers and technology leaders together. This week actually did it. Between conversations at the SpangleAI booth, lead by Michael Relich, Dave Finnegan, & Karen Moon to Breakthru meetings, dinners, and getting on stage with some of the best in the industry, I probably learned as much as I talked (IYKYK 😅 ). One thing became very clear: Retailers don't need more AI. They need AI that understands their business and actually does something. The conversations have moved past "how do we use AI?" Now it's: How does this help me understand my customer? How does it improve discovery? How does it convert intent? And most importantly, how do I measure whether any of this is actually working? And trusted partnerships through this adoption process? Non-negotiable. Was honored to discuss this at the incredible and more relevant than ever Vendors in Partnership Connect event alongside Billy May, Ryan Holm, Sarah Veit Wallis & Matt Eichner. AI shouldn't be another dashboard for a retailer to stare at. It should know your brand, spot the demand you have a right to win (more and more of it showing up through AI discovery), and build the experience that converts it. Then it should learn from every interaction and get sharper against the outcome you actually care about. That's what we're building at Spangle: the industry-specific answer to winning AI discovery. Your brain. Our platform. Always on. Huge thank you to Krystina Gustafson & the RetailClub team and everyone who made this what it was. Founding class was a hell of a time. Now back to work & see you at Shoptalk Fall 🤘 . #AIdiscovery #retail #ecommerce #AI Maju Kuruvilla✨ Karen Moon Cynthia Augustine
