The Future of Shopping? AI + Actual Humans.

AI has changed how consumers shop by speeding up research. But one thing hasn’t changed: shoppers still trust people more than AI.

Levanta’s new Affiliate 3.0 Consumer Report reveals a major shift in how shoppers blend AI tools with human influence. Consumers use AI to explore options, but when it comes time to buy, they still turn to creators, communities, and real experiences to validate their decisions.

The data shows:

  • Only 10% of shoppers buy through AI-recommended links

  • 87% discover products through creators, blogs, or communities they trust

  • Human sources like reviews and creators rank higher in trust than AI recommendations

The most effective brands are combining AI discovery with authentic human influence to drive measurable conversions.

Affiliate marketing isn’t being replaced by AI, it’s being amplified by it.

FRESH AI NEWS

Google tests merging AI Overviews with AI Mode 🌀

Google is trying out a new feature that combines quick AI-made summaries with chat, all in one place 🧠

  • On mobile, when you get an AI Overview in search results, you’ll get a button to “Dive deeper in AI Mode,” letting you transition straight into conversational mode 📄

  • The test is available worldwide on mobile. Google says it might help with asking complicated questions more easily 🌐

  • You don't have to pick between a "quick summary" and "chat mode" right away. You begin with a summary and can explore more if you want 🔄

  • The same AI backbone behind existing Overviews and AI Mode continues to power this merged experience ⚙️

Why You Should Care: This could be the next step in how we search online. Instead of just getting links and short descriptions, we might have conversations with AI that give quick answers and let us explore more without extra typing or using different tools. If it works, it could make search engines feel more like helpful assistants rather than just search bars.

Meta taps Alan Dye to lead new studio 🎨 

Meta has hired Alan Dye, former head of Apple's user interface design, to lead a new creative team, highlighting its commitment to enhancing the design of AI-powered devices, software, and wearables 👇

  • Alan Dye, who led UI design at Apple since 2015, is leaving Apple to join Meta as Chief Design Officer, effective December 31 🔄

  • At Meta, Dye will head a new creative team in Reality Labs, focusing on combining hardware, software, and AI in different devices 🏗️

  • The studio’s mission includes refining design and user experience for smart glasses, VR/AR headsets, and other AI-driven hardware 🎯

  • Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the studio aims to “treat intelligence as a new design material,” blending design, fashion and technology 🤝

  • Apple has tapped long-time designer Steve Lemay to succeed Dye as head of UI design at Apple 🚪

Why You Should Care: Meta emphasizes design as crucial for its next AI wearables, with a former Apple designer spearheading improvements. For success in VR/AR and smart glasses, design may be as vital as AI capabilities.

Snowflake adds Anthropic AI in $200M move 💸 

Anthropic and Snowflake signed a $200M multi-year deal to integrate Claude LLMs into Snowflake's platform, enabling enterprises to use AI on their data 💼

  • Snowflake expands its collaboration with Anthropic under a new $200 M deal 🤝

  • Anthropic's Claude models will be integrated into Snowflake's AI Data Cloud, available to over 12,600 enterprise customers 📥

  • Customers can now use natural language, code, or SQL to run complex data queries and analyses, powered by Claude + Snowflake 🧮

  • The deal supports building custom AI agents within Snowflake’s governed environment, enabling agentic workflows over sensitive enterprise data 🛠️

  • Since Claude operates within Snowflake's infrastructure, data remains in the customer's environment, enhancing security for regulated industries 🔐

Why You Should Care: This moves enterprise-grade AI from experiments to real business workflows by integrating powerful LLMs into data clouds, allowing companies to safely leverage AI on sensitive data.

SUMMARISE MEETING WITH AI

Turn ChatGPT into Meeting AI 🎙️

Transform the ChatGPT desktop app into your meeting assistant to record conversations, generate transcripts, and create actionable summaries without using tools like Fireflies, Otter, or meeting bots

Here’s how to get started 👇️ 

  1. Download the app on Mac or Windows, log in with a Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan, and make sure recording access is enabled in your system settings.

  2. Whether you’re in a Zoom call, classroom lecture, or planning session, click the microphone icon in the app. ChatGPT will listen silently in the background while you focus on the conversation. (Always get consent before recording.)

  3. Once you're done, click “Stop,” then pass the recording to ChatGPT. It automatically generates a transcript, then breaks everything down into takeaways, decisions, deadlines, blockers, and next steps

  4. Ask ChatGPT to transform your notes into any format you need. Try prompts like: “Turn this meeting into a project handoff brief for my manager.” or “Extract only the decisions and who owns them.”

Pro Tip: After brainstorming, use the recording tool to have ChatGPT transform chaotic ideas into organized roadmaps, naming suggestions, pitch scripts, or product feature lists. It's like having a second brain that remembers everything
