- The insight behind Dazzle: ~40% of camera roll photos are tasks, not memories
- How an AI assistant learns your taste from photos, then acts on what it sees
- Why she returned to founding after Google and Yahoo, and why she loves every company stage
- Why she’s betting consumer AI will be bigger than enterprise AI
- How Dazzle blends agentic commerce with a human concierge for high-stakes purchases
- Why the web is still built for humans, and what proper agent-commerce protocols would fix
- The Amazon-vs-Walmart split on letting agents shop, from a Walmart board member’s view
- How a ten-engineer team competes with giants through focus
