WATCH: Why interactive video platform Toch is now betting big on live commerce

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment

  • “Crunching millions of data has made Toch set a course towards live commerce while engaging audience on videos. Live commerce is a term used to denote shopping while watching the content live and the transaction takes place in any live streaming app. For example, if a viewer is watching Avengers on an app, then he can choose to natively buy Avengers merchandise.
  • But did you know that all these key highlights were not curated by a human? It was done through an algorithm that under defined conditions learned what the audience wanted and went ahead to package videos accordingly.”

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment

“Capital One is now joining the slim ranks of organizations that might be described as “AI first.” It has built up two larger machine learning teams, in its Credit Cards line of business and at the enterprise level, as well as smaller teams in other lines of business. Today, the company is applying AI and machine learning to almost every facet of our business, whether customer-facing, such as enhancing fraud protection, or for internal processes, such as improving call center operations.”
