I don't see Google Cloud's AI Commerce Search in the benchmarks?

It used to be called Vertex AI Search for Commerce (leave it to Google to rename a product every year...) It's clunky, but it's usually the winner in every AB test I've seen when measuring for revenue per visitor on large catalog ecommerce sites.

Agreed. I'm a huge fan of his work and have spent some time in Oak Park as well.

That being said, the most accurate/honest depiction I've seen is a 2-part series on PBS. I think it does a great job of capturing the genius alongside the troubled hubris.

> Wright left Oak Park and separated from Tobin Wright in 1909. Before leaving, he divided the studio and the home, allowing Tobin Wright and the children to live in the studio wing and rent out the house for income. Wright sold the property in 1925 and later owners divided the building into six units and neglected to preserve the historically significant property.

This is a really generous interpretation of what happened... He ran off to Europe with one of their neighbors, and his ex-wife (not divorced yet, though!) was left high and dry with no money and was forced to turn the studio into apartments for income.

Anyone on the front page last night likely agrees that this was a cut and dry data leak...

Is this class action lawsuit territory? How can they just sweep it under the rug like this?

We've been building https://nimstrata.com/ for almost three years now, we put Google's Vertex AI product discovery algorithms on Shopify and Salesforce ecommerce storefronts.

At a high level, Google does not have a product culture, so there is a lot of white space for companies like ours to make adopting Google Cloud APIs much easier for less technical users.

It's also wild how much Agentic AI is creeping into all of our conversations - this space is constantly evolving as we're building.

The internet is having one heck of a day! we focus on ecommerce technology and I can't help but think our customers will be getting nervous pre-BFCM.
