AI for Retail
Blueprint [Webinar]

Plan Smarter. Respond Faster. Deliver Better Shopping Experiences.

Retail is a balancing act. Every decision about assortment, inventory, and promotion affects the rest of the business.

Your teams need to anticipate demand, protect margins, and deliver a consistent shopping experience. Yet too much of their time goes toward gathering information, reconciling reports, and coordinating across departments.

AI can help change that.

From investigating supply chain exceptions and guiding shoppers, AI gives retail teams more capacity to make informed decisions and follow through.

In this webinar, presented by Google Cloud, Mike Kaput (Chief Content Officer, SmarterX) and Taylor Radey (Director of Research) will explore how retail professionals can use AI to make smarter merchandising decisions, improve inventory planning, and deliver better shopping experiences.

You’ll learn where AI can deliver practical value today and how to build your team’s ability to use it.

What You’ll Learn

• What’s changing in retail: How generative AI and AI agents can support decisions and connect steps across workflows—and what that means for your team.
• Where to start: Practical use cases across merchandising, supply chain, e-commerce, marketing, and store operations.
• What’s working: Examples of retail brands using AI to save time, respond faster, or deliver better customer experiences.
• Which tools to explore: How to match AI capabilities to your needs, from everyday assistance to more advanced applications.
• How to take action: A step-by-step approach to choosing a use case, building skills, measuring results, and expanding adoption responsibly.

You’ll leave with a clearer view of where AI fits in your business and practical steps to put it to work.
