Another day, another AI survey. One recurring theme is the need for better employee training. LogMeIn reports that 82% of employees say they aren’t well-versed in AI applications, although just 49% of IT leaders feel that way. Similarly, General Assembly found​ that 51% of sales and marketing professionals use AI at work while just 17% have received comprehensive, job-specific AI training.

As AI search results reduce traffic to many brand websites, influencer marketing is emerging as an alternative way to reach consumers. Influencer agency CollAble is taking advantage of the trend by offering a storefront tool, Find.ly, that lets influencers directly sell the products they tout. It connects with affiliate networks to ensure influencers get credit for their sales.

It barely feels like news when industry giants add AI features, since that’s what they’re expected to do. But lots of people use their products, so their announcements are probably of higher interest than most. With that in mind, let’s note that Adobe has just announced general availability of agents for audience creation, journey orchestration, experimentation, journey insights, website optimization and agent support.
