Daniel is joined by Michelle Williams, Data Product Owner at The Very Group, to explore how the UK's leading digital department store is embedding GenAI into its business. Michelle shares the company's pragmatic approach—focusing on efficiency, scalability, and real business value rather than hype. From launching an AI Guild and upskilling teams to using AWS-powered models to automate 40,000+ product descriptions, she breaks down how GenAI is helping The Very Group accelerate its digital transformation.

Tune in to hear about:

  • How The Very Group scaled GenAI from proof of concept to production
  • Lessons from implementing AI-powered product descriptions
  • Why data foundations and internal education were key to success
  • The role of AWS as a collaborative innovation partner
