About this episode

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, A&M’s David Schneidman and Truett Horne joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

  • Walmart’s new corporate AI guidelines
  • Amazon’s new AI for product imagery
  • HomeGoods calling it quits on e-commerce
  • Kroger’s sustainable media push

There’s all that, plus Mom’s favorite Tinder date, Bush Beans, and whether David is full on original recipe or extra crispy.
