Episode 328 - This AI Shift Feels Different… And It’s Moving FAST
Scott is with Brett Bohannon to talk about the fast-moving shift from basic AI chat tools to agent-driven Amazon workflows. They discuss Claude, OpenClaw, MCP servers, APIs, and how sellers can connect private catalog data, public marketplace data, and advertising insights into one AI-powered operating system.
Brett shares how he uses AI agents to reduce repetitive Amazon tasks, audit catalogs, connect tools like Keepa and Data Dive, and build workflow automations for ads, inventory, and listing optimization.
They also shed light on what this means for Amazon software, why unique data still matters, and how sellers can start using AI to solve specific operational problems instead of chasing every new tool.
