This October, we shipped major AI updates designed to help you sell more during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the entire holiday season—all for half the price of a single ChatGPT subscription.
Here's everything new that's live now to help you crush Q4.
Why These Updates Matter Right Now
Black Friday is weeks away. You need to:
- Find retail partners before holiday buying decisions lock in
- Create tons of content for holiday campaigns
- Monitor what's working for competitors in real-time
- Move fast while juggling a million tasks
That's exactly what these October updates solve. We've made your AI Business Partner proactive, action-oriented, and mobile—so you can prep for the busiest sales season without burning out.
Update #1: Your AI Now Works While You Sleep (Automated Intelligence)

How it works:
- Daily competitor tracking - See what competitors are launching, posting, and promoting for Black Friday
- Holiday trend detection - Spot emerging trends before they peak so you can capitalize early
- Retail buyer prospecting - Build lists of potential wholesale partners automatically
- Content opportunity alerts - Get notified about viral content and successful ad strategies in your industry
Why this matters for Black Friday: You can't afford to miss what's working in your market right now. While you're fulfilling orders and prepping inventory, your AI is watching competitors, tracking trends, and finding opportunities. You wake up to fresh intelligence every day.
It's like having a market research team working overnight—included with your membership.
Update #2: Find Wholesale Buyers Automatically (AI Retailer Outreach)

This is your shot to get into retail before the holiday rush—all included with your membership.
Update #3: Real-Time AI Chat with Approve/Deny Controls
What's new: Upgraded to live, real-time chat with human-in-the-loop controls. Your AI shows its work as it happens, and you can approve or stop any action before it executes.
How it works:

- Manual stop button - Change direction mid-task if priorities shift
- Seamless reconnection - Switch devices without losing progress
Why this matters for Black Friday: You need speed but also quality. When your AI drafts 20 retailer emails or rewrites product descriptions for SEO, you want to review before they go live. Real-time chat with approval controls gives you both automation and oversight.
