Episode Details

Tell us about your journey. What led you to co-found BetterBasket, and what did you see in the grocery industry that made you believe there was an opportunity to build something different?

Grocery has always been a business of tight margins and complex decisions. Where do you see AI having the biggest impact today across pricing, promotions, and assortment—and where are grocers still leaving opportunity on the table?

BetterBasket brings together AI optimization and competitive data. How does better intelligence actually change the decisions a grocery operator can make, and can you give us an example of what that looks like in practice?

As AI becomes embedded in more grocery decisions, how do you see the role of the merchant or operator changing? Is AI primarily about automating decisions, or is the bigger opportunity helping people make smarter decisions faster?

Looking ahead, what are you most excited about for the future of grocery and AI? And if there’s one idea or takeaway you’d like listeners to leave this conversation with, what would it be?
