February 27 SGM

2/27 SGM

Pre-Meeting Notes

• I think we want to focus on the concept of discovery and exploration, less than search. Survey kinda showed that
• What way do we want to go? I feel like there’s a couple
  • One is building Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, etc. at scale. But older demographics, is shopping mainly social now (integrated with TikTok), so who would be end user?
  • Another is actually building the API for it: https://www.branch-ai.com/. Work in the backend, call our API, we can do it at scale -Are we closer to product recommendations? Or is it curation and discovery (a la Beli, Pinterest)

Meeting Notes

• Book — was more about the merit of selling the tech
• Focus on one product, or focus on an end tool

• Discussion about how to do multimodal stuff
