The holiday rush has started: How OluKai and Sonos gear up for the season with AI

For most direct-to-consumer and retail brands, the holiday season is the busiest time of year. Not only does this season represent a massive revenue opportunity, but demand surges stress-test systems and staffing. Deploying an AI agent makes it possible for companies to get ahead of the rush, scale up, deliver a better customer experience, and drive sales.
