Omnichannel in Retail: Why Leaders Are Deploying AI Across Customer Touchpoints

Over the past decade, customer expectations in retail have completely changed. What began as a basic need for convenience has now become a demand for seamless, personalized, and real-time experiences across every touchpoint. And if you are a retail leader, you would have probably witnessed this shift through distinct phases. While Omnichannel 1.0 was focused on showing up across platforms, Omnichannel 2.0 prioritized consistency and integration.

WebMMU: Multimodal and Multilingual Evaluation of Agent Reasoning on Web

Welcome to the AI research bites. This series of short and informative talks showcases cutting-edge research work from ServiceNow AI Research team. The AI Research Bites are open to all, especially those interested in keeping up with the fast-paced AI research community. Modern web agents can read, but few can see holistically. Despite rapid progress in multimodal LLMs, today's models falter when asked to visually ground UI elements, reason over DOM structures, or edit complex layouts across diverse languages and domains. WebMMU is our attempt to course-correct.

Data Governance and Ethics in Transportation AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data are fundamentally reshaping transportation, from smart traffic management and logistics optimization to predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles. However, while the technology evolves at a rapid pace, the non-technical aspects of implementation, such as governance, ethics, privacy, and transparency, often lag behind. To build systems that are not only intelligent but also trustworthy, we must develop frameworks that prioritize secure data sharing, privacy preservation, and explainable AI (XAI).

Enginears Podcast: Redefining Developer Productivity in the AI Era

Developer productivity is top of mind for all engineering organizations. As AI accelerates software development, leaders face a fundamental question: Are we truly building faster, or just building more? And more importantly, are we building the right things, and building them well? In this new era, speed alone isn’t enough. High-impact teams must ensure their work aligns with customer value and is delivered with exceptional quality.

Taking AI Apps From Prototype to Production

At this year’s AWS Summit in New York, agentic AI took center stage with Amazon’s launch of Bedrock AgentCore — a powerful step toward turning AI prototypes into scalable, production-ready applications. From low-code workflows to turnkey infrastructure, a new generation of tools is enabling teams of all skill levels to build, deploy, and monitor AI agents faster than ever.

How to Create Playwright Scripts for Website Monitoring with Chrome, ChatGPT & Sematext

Let’s say you want to make sure your website works as expected. You do not want to check if it just loads. You also want to check if important buttons or features are there and working. Oh, and you don’t want to just do it once. You want to keep an eye on this pretty much all the time. And, of course, you don’t want to keep checking manually if anything broke – you want to be notified, alerted when (not if) things break. You can do this by creating a Browser Monitor.

What's Driving Traffic in Rural America - Broadband, Wireless & DCI for AI

s consumers continue to shift away from traditional cable broadcasting towards streaming video services such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+, this will continue to drive the demand for robust middle mile solutions. This growth in data traffic demands not only enhance rural provider’s Internet infrastructure but also fortify their needs for data center interconnectivity (DCI) to metropolitan hubs. In this context, rural markets require connectivity solutions that can support 100G and even 400G connections to efficiently handle rising bandwidth needs tied to cloud applications and content delivery networks.
