In case, you were wondering, I’ve put in my share of footwork around the Moscone Center over the past month. After making it through two days of Dreamforce, I went back for a return trip through TechCrunch Disrupt. My main focus was on ecommerce, but I also popped in for some more general conversations around AI and the state of venture capital perspectives in the midst of bubble talk taking over.
Here’s a recap of what came out of that trip, along with some other recent work highlights:
- What Phia co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni said at TechCrunch Disrupt
- How Home Depot is using AI
- Walmart’s new AI features for its app ahead of the holiday season
- What holiday shopping forecasts show for ecommerce
- October Ecommerce Stock Index results
- Pinterest’s new AI assistant for visual discovery
- Who offers free shipping and how much it matters in 2025
