00:04:00.358 --> 00:04:02.043 What else is there to talk about these days? 73 00:04:02.514 --> 00:04:05.091 and one of the things that we really wanted to start by asking you is, 74 00:04:05.092 --> 00:04:09.897 there's a lot of consideration around how retailers and, and brands have to 75 00:04:09.908 --> 00:04:12.243 align their product data, particularly 76 00:04:12.244 --> 00:04:14.829 around discovery by all the AI systems. 77 00:04:15.194 --> 00:04:15.849 And it… 78 00:04:15.862 --> 00:04:18.638 there's a lot of data involved, updating a lot of product schemas and things. 79 00:04:18.645 --> 00:04:22.760 So I, I guess that there's sort of a joint goal of both the retail and 80 00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:24.461 the brands want to be surfaced by AI. 81 00:04:24.469 --> 00:04:28.593 So I wanted to ask, what do you think needs to happen first for, for retailers 82 00:04:28.593 --> 00:04:29.975 and brands to agree on how to do that? 83 00:04:30.551 --> 00:04:30.848 Yeah. 84 00:04:30.871 --> 00:04:31.512 No, I hear you. 85 00:04:31.518 --> 00:04:34.101 It's, it's a common thing that we're actually in the middle of dealing 86 00:04:34.101 --> 00:04:35.105 with with most of our clients. 87 00:04:35.157 --> 00:04:38.936 I would say, first off though, the, honestly, the goal has changed, right? 88 00:04:38.953 --> 00:04:41.243 So it used to be always about search, right? 89 00:04:41.276 --> 00:04:41.631 Right. 90 00:04:41.631 --> 00:04:41.641 Right. 91 00:04:41.876 --> 00:04:42.198 And 92 00:04:42.198 --> 00:04:43.500 now it's selection. 93 00:04:43.656 --> 00:04:46.808 So it's what do you have to do to get your product recommended and 94 00:04:46.808 --> 00:04:50.005 selected by the machine, by the AI? 95 00:04:50.215 --> 00:04:53.112 And so the whole conversation has shifted, right? 96 00:04:53.114 --> 00:04:54.497 Originally, it was traditional search. 97 00:04:54.499 --> 00:04:55.623 Obviously, we all know that's dead. 98 00:04:55.714 --> 00:04:58.227 But it went to AEO to disaster. 99 00:04:58.321 --> 00:04:59.503 Have you tried lately? 100 00:04:59.595 --> 00:04:59.921 Yeah. 101 00:04:59.923 --> 00:05:01.158 I just, it's a nightmare. 102 00:05:01.158 --> 00:05:04.074 And anyone who's-- It was funny 'cause I, I was talking about this a year 103 00:05:04.074 --> 00:05:06.885 ago, and people were still in denial that traditional search is dead. 104 00:05:06.966 --> 00:05:07.013 Yeah. 105 00:05:07.089 --> 00:05:09.993 Here we are a year later- and we're.. .and we're not even talking about search. 106 00:05:10.011 --> 00:05:11.256 We're talking about selection. 107 00:05:11.256 --> 00:05:11.267 Mm-hmm. 108 00:05:11.905 --> 00:05:16.211 And so I think what's happening now is you have brands and retailers discussing, 109 00:05:16.223 --> 00:05:20.163 "Okay, let's share data. Let's talk about the data that we can build to 110 00:05:20.165 --> 00:05:23.773 move us towards selection," because we're both at the same, same agenda. 111 00:05:23.792 --> 00:05:26.121 Both sides of the equation want a purchase, right? 112 00:05:26.132 --> 00:05:26.349 Mm-hmm. 113 00:05:26.538 --> 00:05:30.141 to be selecting the right product that allows there not to be a return. 114 00:05:30.328 --> 00:05:35.678 And so I think what, what that means is really for brands, the first stage 115 00:05:35.679 --> 00:05:39.514 of just having the basics done around the product data layer just becomes 116 00:05:39.515 --> 00:05:41.161 more increasingly important, right? 117 00:05:41.161 --> 00:05:41.171 Right. 118 00:05:41.177 --> 00:05:41.309 Right. 119 00:05:41.374 --> 00:05:43.491 Not just to get searched or discovered. 120 00:05:43.501 --> 00:05:48.505 It's really because the-- you really need the AI to understand the differentiation 121 00:05:48.553 --> 00:05:50.579 of your product versus other products. 122 00:05:50.955 --> 00:05:55.073 And then you need the data from the retailer to inform what the 123 00:05:55.073 --> 00:05:57.655 human is searching for, the needs, what are they really clicking 124 00:05:57.657 --> 00:05:59.047 on, all of that jazz, right? 125 00:05:59.241 --> 00:05:59.453 Yeah. 126 00:05:59.467 --> 00:06:03.982 So it's about the combination of the enough information behind the 127 00:06:03.982 --> 00:06:07.709 products from the brand side to inform sort of a differentiation. 128 00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:09.062 It's not just price. 129 00:06:09.076 --> 00:06:11.406 It's not just attributes anymore, right? 130 00:06:11.422 --> 00:06:15.268 It's a lot more that's required- Right … to move, to be able to get to a selection. 131 00:06:15.303 --> 00:06:17.334 And, and there's a sense there's the more detail, the better. 132 00:06:17.392 --> 00:06:17.804 Yes. 133 00:06:18.163 --> 00:06:18.549 Yes. 134 00:06:18.603 --> 00:06:18.983 Absolutely. 135 00:06:18.987 --> 00:06:21.584 And it's not just about have the detail. 136 00:06:21.609 --> 00:06:26.388 It's also consistent data, that detail that basically the AI can trust, right? 137 00:06:26.707 --> 00:06:29.681 And context, like so much context around the brand that like, 138 00:06:30.089 --> 00:06:33.590 a lot… ChatGPT does not know the difference between Ralph Lauren Purple 139 00:06:33.591 --> 00:06:35.858 Label, Blue Label, Right … double RL. 140 00:06:35.872 --> 00:06:39.061 Like, it has no under- concept of the house. 141 00:06:39.395 --> 00:06:42.330 There's that… it's not on the website, right? 142 00:06:42.356 --> 00:06:44.116 It's definitely, not on reddit. 143 00:06:45.036 --> 00:06:45.329 I know. 144 00:06:45.445 --> 00:06:49.222 No, absolutely, and it's- it's usually scrapping from the same places, right? 145 00:06:49.397 --> 00:06:49.746 Yeah. 146 00:06:49.827 --> 00:06:53.654 A- and I think it's this thing, too, around it's not, the- it's 147 00:06:53.654 --> 00:06:56.366 not just marketers that need to- brand marketers that need to be 148 00:06:56.366 --> 00:06:57.857 speaking to the retailers anymore. 149 00:06:57.861 --> 00:06:59.479 Like,
