AI is shifting ecommerce from manual, broad marketing to fully autonomous, hyper-personalized systems…and if you don’t get onboard soon, you could be left behind.

Liam Millward, co-founder and CEO at Instant, returns to Limited Supply for a deep dive into how AI is completely reshaping ecommerce, retention marketing, and the way modern brands operate.

They also discuss:

  • Why AI-first brands are moving faster than legacy companies
  • The evolution from ChatGPT interfaces to autonomous agents
  • How retention marketing is becoming as important as acquisition
  • This episode is packed with practical insights for founders, marketers, ecommerce operators, and anyone trying to understand where AI is taking business next.
