"What you have as a business and as an e-commerce retailer is your data. That's the one thing you possess that other people don't. Whether it's your inventory levels, SKU information, shipping times... making that machine readable feels like it's going to be really important."

Sunscreen used to be an annual purchase. Now it's a part of the daily routine. That marketing shift opened up the door for total category disruption.
The combination of persistent memory + a sense of time + voice will fundamentally shape a different shopping experience. Excited to see how the team at @shoponscout is re-thinking e-commerce! 🚀
Proud of the team and technology behind @fenolabs ! 🦷

Keywords, filters, and sorting were always a workaround. They exist because software couldn't hold context, so we learned to break what we wanted into fields a database could interpret.
That limit is lifting.
When the interface is capable of understanding the full customer request and an agent can act on it, the entire discovery layer can get rebuilt. We think that's where a lot of the value in consumer commerce is moving and few teams are as far ahead on this as Scout.
We are incredibly proud to be in their corner! 🛍️ linkedin.com/posts/swativaut…
