Welcome to the premiere episode of DS STREAM AI & DATA Talks! We are excited to launch this new series where we dive into the world of AI-powered transformations in FMCG and retail. Each episode explores real-world implementations, cutting-edge machine learning solutions and robust data engineering strategies that drive efficiency and growth.

In this special first episode, our COO and Board Member Katarzyna Bołtowicz sits down for an in-depth conversation with Magdalena Okrzeja and Jakub Dubowik. Together they unpack how predictive analytics and artificial intelligence are helping retail leaders make smarter, data-driven decisions. Note that this episode is recorded in Polish but includes full English subtitles for our global audience.

In this episode we explore:

  • Key challenges and opportunities facing the modern retail industry.
  • How predictive analytics transforms assortment management and demand planning.
  • Why 95% of AI projects don’t deliver ROI and what separates the successful ones.
  • The "Build vs. Buy" debate: Whether tailored AI beats one‑size‑fits‑all SaaS in retail transformation.
