Autonomous A/B Tests

AutoCorp unveils a D2C t-shirt selling AI, Instacart rolls out UI updates to better surface deals, Tile launches a cat tracking product

Good morning! Black Mirror is officially returning to Netflix in June, and the creator says that the sixth season will include elements that he's "previously sworn blind the show would never do". Here we go 🍿

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

AutoCorp launched an "autonomous company" that claims to let AI create its own ads, branding, and product designs for a D2C t-shirt company. The AI develops a thesis for a t-shirt brand, and generates company assets and style guides. As customers make requests, the AI updates its thesis and product designs based on sales revenue 💵

So far this looks like a cool front-end, but lacks legs until the developers connect it to APIs for ads, fulfilment, and custom t-shirt creation. Nonetheless, as a growth PM who does a lot of A/B testing, this type of concept applied to product is very interesting 🔥
