Your category has a leader. AI may have a different one in mind. In strollers, Baby Trend and Graco dominate retail search. Ask ChatGPT or Amazon Rufus for a recommendation and UPPAbaby leads the conversation. In coffee, a brand is capturing nearly 4x its organic ecommerce traffic share in AI impressions. In TVs, the brands that drive over 32% of organic ecommerce traffic account for just 5% of AI impressions. This isn't a quirk. It's a structural shift in how consumers discover brands. And the brands winning in AI aren't the ones with the most traffic, they're the ones with the best content ecosystem. Most brands don't know which side of the line they're on.

More than half of U.S. consumers have used AI to shop. For brands, the question is no longer whether AI matters, it's whether their products are part of the conversation. Stackline surveyed 1,500 verified retail shoppers to understand how AI is reshaping the purchase journey, and the numbers are hard to ignore. AI isn't just a discovery channel, it's a conversion channel. And it's one where established brand loyalty doesn't automatically carry weight. We put together the full data and a playbook for what brands need to do now. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gXXZsRGR

AI-powered shopping tools are no longer emerging. Rufus, ChatGPT and more are actively shaping purchase decisions right now, and most brands don't have a strategy for it. The gap between brands that show up in AI recommendations and those that don't is growing. Closing it requires more than good content. It requires visibility intelligence, competitive benchmarking, and execution across the right levers. Stackline VP Noah Johnson is joining Cleveland Research Company's Thought Leader Webinar series to share what's actually working. The AI Shopping Playbook: Turn AI Visibility into a Competitive Advantage April 14, 2026 11am PST Noah will walk through a practical playbook for brands looking to strengthen their position — covering content strategy, PDP optimization, and retail media and review strategy.

U.S. shoppers ask 179 million shopping questions on ChatGPT and Amazon Rufus every week. If your products aren't showing up in those answers, you're losing sales you can't measure. Until now. AI Visibility opportunities identifies exactly which high-intent shopping questions your products should be winning (but aren't) and translates each gap into a projected dollar impact. For every product, you can see: - The specific questions where you're missing from AI recommendations - Projected impressions you could earn if optimized - Projected retail sales tied to each opportunity Conversational shopping is no longer a trend to watch. It's already a primary channel for product discovery, and visibility in AI recommendations is becoming as critical as ranking on a search results page.

AI isn’t just about faster workflows, it’s about fundamentally changing how teams operate. Last month, Stackline’s AI Advisor helped clients save over 100,000 hours by automating the work that slows teams down, from research and analysis to forecasting and strategic planning. Instead of spending time building reports, teams are moving directly from request → insight → action, with AI delivering real-time answers, recommendations, and even executive-ready outputs. This is what modern commerce looks like: Less manual work Faster decisions More time focused on growth As AI continues to reshape how brands compete, the advantage won’t come from access to data, it will come from how quickly you can turn it into action.
