Kohl’s Deploys Full AI Stylist for Back-to-School: Rivals Report Spending Lifts Past 375%
Kohl's rolled out a full-service AI shopping assistant on Tuesday — styling advice, gift ideas, photo search, product comparison, and order support folded into a single chat — just as back-to-school shopping enters its busiest window. The launch gives the struggling department store chain an AI tool built on the same Google Cloud platform that lifted spending 4.75 times per visit at Macy's after its March 2026 deployment.
