Zipline Launches Exclusive AI Insights Beta Program to Empower the Frontline with Real-Time Intelligence
SAN FRANCISCO , CA, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2025 / / -- Zipline, the leading platform for retail communication, execution, and training today announced the launch of its Exclusive AI Insights Beta Program at its annual user conference, Summer Camp. This cutting-edge initiative brings powerful intelligence to the frontlines, harnessing AI to decode signals from millions of daily actions across tasking, messaging, training, and compliance, transforming them into actionable insights. Retail is fast-paced, complex, and constantly shifting. Store teams work across languages, shifts, and geographies, and frontline managers are under pressure to do more with less. In this dynamic environment, operational noise is high and clarity is rare. Zipline's AI Insights Beta addresses this head-on by surfacing what matters most, when it matters most. 'As we continue to evolve our platform, intelligence is quickly proving to be a force multiplier for our customers,' said Meagan Sobol, Senior VP of Product. 'By analyzing real-world usage data, we uncover recurring patterns which help us understand how the best operators communicate, execute tasks, and adapt to change. Those insights inform our ability to solve the unique complexities of retail, giving Zipline a clear competitive edge. We're already seeing promising results from early beta participants, and we can't wait to share more.' Insights from the Frontlines The beta program is already revealing breakthrough patterns that were previously invisible to most retailers. These insights include: - Which types of content drive action versus which stall workflows - Where engagement most strongly correlates with successful outcomes -How to proactively identify execution blockers before they impact the business By connecting frontline behaviors to measurable outcomes, Zipline is helping retailers translate engagement into revenue impact, operational efficiency, and time savings at scale. This level of visibility and insight into real-world performance is shaping a new standard for how retail brands drive execution, and it's a key reason why Zipline stands apart in the market. 'We're seeing how intelligence can reduce inefficiencies, increase speed-to-action, and ultimately drive revenue at scale,' said Nerea Ruiz de Gauna de Santiago, Lead Data Scientist. 'It's incredibly rewarding to watch our models identify signals that aren't obvious to humans, and to do so in ways that drive measurable impact.' Expanding the Beta, Raising the Bar Because of the strong early outcomes, Zipline is expanding the AI Insights Beta to more customers. This expansion reflects Zipline's commitment to rigorously validating new capabilities before releasing them to the broader market. This dedication to product excellence is one reason Zipline continues to lead the industry with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 89, which is well above the industry benchmark. 'We believe great products come from great partnerships,' said Meagan Sobol, Senior VP of Product. 'By inviting customers into the development process, we not only deliver better outcomes, we also build tools that feel intuitive, powerful, and built for the way frontline teams actually work.'

TikTok Launches ‘Summer Camp' Activities for Youngsters
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Not sure what to do with the kids this summer break? TikTok's looking to help, with a new 'Summer Camp' set of in-app activities that'll guide viewers through a range of hands-on projects, which they can share with others in the app. So it's not an actual camp, but more a virtual conference for youngsters. As explained by TikTok: 'Starting on June 24, we're inviting teens and their families to discover what they love, explore new interests, and build lasting memories through creativity and learning. #TikTokSummercamp offers four hands-on, family-fun activities inspired by our community and guided by beloved creators serving as this year's camp counselors.' As you can see in this overview, how it works is, TikTok has recruited various creators to lead a range of activities in the app. TikTok provides a supply list for each, then users can follow along with the tutorial videos, and share their progress and/or end results with others using the relevant hashtag. The four activities on offer are: Slime creation Creating a miniature beach scene Building a telescope Making firefly lanterns And TikTok's also using it as a stealth means to help parents talk to their kids about online safety: 'These activities aren't just fun projects, they give families a reason to gather around the table, share some laughs, and celebrate small wins together. They also create natural moments for families to discuss their online experiences and set healthy digital boundaries.' So it's not just about converting TikTok into Nick Jnr. for interactive entertainment, TikTok's also framing this as a means to get the conversation started about how to avoid trouble online. Though I don't know that either is an ideal approach for parents. Really, despite TikTok noting 'teens' as the target audience, the activities here seem more geared towards under 10s, maybe young teens at best. And as such, I don't know that I'd want those kids to be aware of TikTok and what's on offer in the app, let alone be using it. Indeed, TikTok isn't even available to users under 13, though previous analysis has shown that up to a third of the app's U.S. user base is under 14. Which is a problem, considering the content available in the app, and the potentially harmful rabbit holes that TikTok's algorithm can take you down. And while the aim of this initiative is to facilitate parents collaborating with their kids, so it's not aimed at kids directly, I'm still not sure that I'd be super keen to be opening that door so wide at such a young age. But maybe you really like the concept, maybe your son/daughter really wants to make slime, and this could provide a more social experience, as opposed to having them isolated and grinding through Roblox activities. It could be a thing, but I don't know… You can learn more about TikTok's Summer Camp here.
