Legacy retailers like Target and Walmart are upping artificial-intelligence efforts to get the desired products into the customer's hands easier, cheaper, and faster. The better-than-expected earnings for some firms -- along with the uneven performance of others -- demonstrates the potential that AI has to transform the retail industry and the treacherous road ahead to get there. Walmart, for instance, is rolling out new technology in thousands of its stores, with the goal of eliminating the "mundane" tasks done by store associates so they can spend more time with customers. "Pretty much everything that we focus on is just making things that you know and do today a lot easier," John Crecelius, Walmart's senior vice president of central operations, told Business Insider. "What makes this exciting and fun is the ecosystem you create. It's the art of the possible when you have several pieces of technology in the same store gathering data and interacting with each other."

Get your Nordstrom cards out, people. There is a sale going on right now at the beloved retailer, and it's good. I literally shopped the entire sale online, so I can confirm: this is a must-shop event (my bank account is shaking).

People attend Shoptalk, a retail and technology conference in Las Vegas. If you weren't at Shoptalk in Las Vegas last week, you missed a great conference. Shoptalk has evolved into a must-attend retail event with more than 8,000 attendees and growing, a destination where retailers and brands go to learn and collaborate and where networking opportunities are key. The conference included content on the latest retail trends around technology, data, and wins and losses in the online vs brick-and-mortar battle. Here are my key takeaways from the conference.

I love shopping at a Nordstrom store, but hate shopping on the Nordstrom website. Unless I know exactly what I want, like my favorite shade of lipstick, I have a time trying to find what I might want. Take a search for a blue dress. Nordstrom served up nearly 3,000 options and after narrowing it down to casual styles, I had a mere 1,000 to go through. Included in that search were jumpsuits (sorry, not a dress), plus sizes and maternity dresses.

Ever since I entered college and learned the word'fashion' did not mean shopping at retailers such as Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle (the early-mid 2000s were a weird time, okay?), I became obsessed with Nordstrom. The clothes, the bags, the shoes, the makeup--it was all too perfect. Then I discovered the customer service was better than all of those departments combined, and I never looked back. After shopping at Nordstrom for years, in store and online, I know pretty much just about everything that is sold at the store. But is it helpful for you?

First off, people have been using conversation to drive sales and make customers happy since humans first began trading. From asking the store owner about which wine you should buy to messaging a boutique on Instagram to find if they still have that custom necklace left, conversation has always been -- and always will be -- a core part of commerce. Today, conversations can be automated, and it is this automated experience that we are referring to when we use the term "Conversational Commerce". Conversational experiences can add value to every part of the customer journey, ranging from when a customer makes their first order to answering a product-related question instantly. Conversational commerce is possible on any platform that supports chat or voice bots (Facebook Messenger, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Business Chat, SMS, WeChat, LINE, Telegram, etc).

I don't know about you, but I may pop a gasket if I see one more article on Artificial Intelligence highlighting job losses and illustrated with creepy robots poised to take over our work and world as we know it. Is this the future we are building for ourselves and our children? The future is less about Artificial Intelligence and more about Augmented Intelligence. There is a subtle but significant difference. Augmented Intelligence focuses on Intelligent Technology that exists to serve and make us better at the things we care about in our work and personal life.
