what we took away
In our own words, from the posts the team wrote when we got back.
From whether to how.
Retailers asked how to build AI into personalization, recommendations, search, forecasting and custom software. That is the part most teams are still working out.
Lucio Wainberg
Adoption is broad, and uneven.
Some teams already run agentic workflows, AI content pipelines and personalized experiences. Others are still choosing where to start, and large companies tend to roll out more slowly.
Fernando Suzacq
Not every problem needs AI.
Forecasting, search, personalization and computer vision already have proven approaches. AI can open a new one, but the problem should pick the tool.
Fernando Suzacq
Custom software is back on the table.
Cheaper builds and underused licenses have teams weighing software made for them, especially when they move off legacy systems. SaaS stays, but vendors have to earn their place as platforms.
