1. ChatGPT AI and E-commerce
2024 by ALESSANDRO HOFFMANN



"ChatGPT AI and E-commerce" is not just a book—it’s like finding a super-intelligent, hyper-enthusiastic sales assistant who also happens to be fluent in the arcane dialect of AI and utterly incapable of misplacing your inventory. In this brilliantly elucidated guide, Alessandro Hoffmann takes you on a whirlwind tour of the strange and wonderful ways artificial intelligence is reshaping e-commerce, as if the internet decided it needed an upgrade and went shopping for brains. Packed with ideas that make chatbots seem like the friendly, all-knowing shopkeepers of the future and personalized shopping assistants feel as intuitive as a cosmic hitchhiker’s towel, this book covers everything from tailor-made product recommendations to automated marketing strategies that somehow understand your customers better than they understand themselves. With case studies that read like tales of retail wizardry and enough actionable insights to make you wonder if Hoffmann is part machine himself, this is the ultimate companion for anyone who wants to not just survive but thrive in the relentless, algorithm-driven carnival of online commerce. Bring your curiosity and prepare to sell like never before.

2. AI for Retail: A Practical Guide to Modernize Your Retail Business with AI and Automation
2023 by Francois Chaubard



In a universe not entirely unlike our own—though perhaps a touch more algorithmically inclined—AI for Retail: A Practical Guide to Modernize Your Retail Business with AI and Automation is the sort of book that might be described as the Hitchhiker’s Guide to Retail, only with fewer towels and more machine learning. Penned by Francois Chaubard, who presumably has spent more time chatting with neural networks than with actual humans, this guide promises to take you on a journey from cluelessness to AI enlightenment. Along the way, you’ll learn how to tame the wild beasts of inventory management, make supply chains behave themselves and maybe even teach e-commerce to stop sulking in the corner and do something useful. Packed with charts, terms that sound suspiciously like the names of alien species and profit-loss analyses that might as well come with a "Don’t Panic" sticker, this book cheerfully nudges you toward an automated retail utopia—or at least one where the robots don’t immediately unionize. If you’re a retail manager, executive, or someone who just fancies a good wrestle with technology, this is your interstellar guide to making AI work for you, ideally without vaporizing your free cash flow in the process.

2018 by Tony Boobier



Advanced Analytics and AI: Impact, Implementation and the Future of Work is the kind of book that takes the bewildering chaos of artificial intelligence, sprinkles it with a hefty dose of cognitive analytics and explains—without too much screaming—how it’s going to change everything you thought you knew about work, life and that strange machine on your desk. Imagine a world where algorithms hand out financial advice with the smug certainty of a slightly tipsy accountant or design your medical treatment plan while humming softly to itself in binary. Tony Boobier takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the next 5 to 10 years, where industries from retail to risk management get dragged kicking and screaming into the AI era. He doesn’t just tell you what’s coming—he hands you the manual, pats you on the back and says, “Good luck!” in the most reassuring way possible.
