    Retail Store IQ and the Frontier Store: When a Store Begins to Think

    𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑰𝑸 began as an insight from Manas, who framed it as a way to measure how intelligently a store uses sensors, data, and AI Agents to understand its environment and act with purpose. He also introduced the 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 concept, a retail-specific evolution of Microsoft’s Frontier Firm model that describes stores operating with near-sentient awareness and autonomy. Our conversations quickly moved from idea to possibility, raising questions about what it means for a store to perceive, model, decide, and coordinate humans, robots, and agents in real time. The more we explored it, the clearer it became that retail is entering a new era. A store that senses. A store that reasons. A store with an IQ.

    When Memories Live Only in Your Head, And AI Helps Set Them Free

    For someone who remembers life in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, but has no photos to prove what those moments looked like, AI becomes a kind of memory collaborator. Link to Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/gdXN7fje. This is an AI Generate Audio TLDR of the Blog Post

    The Hidden Revolution Inside Retail: How Agentic Commerce Upends Everything We Know

    I have been thinking a lot about what happens when shoppers are no longer people but agents that negotiate, compare, and decide on our behalf. This new world of hashtag#AgenticCommerce changes everything from product data to content to pricing to market behavior.  This is an AI-Generated AUDIO TLDR of my blog post at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-watching-knowing-new-era-observational-shish-shridhar-jirlc

    From Dashboards to Dialogues: How Conversational Interfaces Are Transforming How We Work With Data

    It's not just dashboards anymore but storyboards that could be podcasts you listen to. Data now talks back. From chat-enabled insights to hashtag#AI-narrated podcasts, conversational interfaces are transforming how organizations use and act on data.This is an AI-Generated AUDIO TLDR of my blog post at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-watching-knowing-new-era-observational-shish-shridhar-jirlc

    Turning Stores into Smart Media Ecosystems: The Power of Multi-Agent AI

    Retailers have become data-rich but insight-poor. They know who their shoppers are, what they buy, when they buy, and even how they move through stores — yet much of this intelligence sits trapped in silos across loyalty programs, digital media, and in-store analytics systems. Retail Media Networks (RMNs), built to monetize this data, often still operate as fragmented systems — digital screens on one end, campaign dashboards on another, disconnected from the physical reality of the shopper journey. The result? Missed moments, wasted impressions, and under-optimized ad yield. The opportunity? To build self-optimizing media ecosystems powered by Multi-Agentic AI, where specialized autonomous agents, each with distinct intelligence, data, and expertise, collaborate seamlessly toward a shared retail goal.

    From Watching to Knowing: The New Era of Observational Intelligence

    We’re entering an era where computervision, digitaltwins, and AI models don’t just see, they understand. By combining sensorfusion, agenticAI, and continuous observability, physical environments, from factories to stores, can now learn, optimize, and even self-correct in real time. This shift from human observation to AI-driven process intelligence is transforming how we discover inefficiencies, design workflows, and drive continuous improvement.
