• Macy's formally launches Ask Macy's, an AI conversational shopping assistant powered by Google Gemini, with early beta data showing revenue per visit nearly 5x higher among users.
• Allbirds agrees to sell its assets and IP to American Exchange Group for just $39 million, a fraction of the $4 billion-plus valuation it once commanded.
