Google’s discovery AI personalisations will be able to recognise patterns in consumer behaviour, such as, clicks and cart purchases in order to determine a shoppers taste overtime.
AI technology can deal with more data than ever before, and trends in consumer behaviour are going to be picked up by AI algorithms faster than humans could ever do.
Google AI technology has proved this with Med-PaLM 2 and Google Deepmind.
David Cost, vice president of eCommerce and marketing at Rainbow Shops states, “For a retailer of our size, working with a commerce platform that unlocks agility and flexibility for all parts of our business is critical.
Shopify, and their partnership with Google Cloud results speak for themselves with search volume up by 48%.”
