AI personalization promises a segment of one — but most implementations fail in pilot purgatory. Meeky and Matt break down the ROI math, the creepy line, and what it really takes to personalize without killing user trust.
Show Notes
Meeky and Matt dig into AI-driven personalization: the marketing promise, the real implementation gap, and why a segment of one sounds great until it gets creepy. Over Meeky's Sweet Baby Jesus Porter and Matt's White River Saison, they break down why ROI stats are often misleading, why pilot purgatory happens, and what it really takes to personalize without tanking user trust.
