Berry's Jewellers Leads in AI Preparedness
Berry’s Jewellers is leading the jewelry sector in AI readiness, achieving a score of 96 in a study that evaluated how well retailers allow AI agents to access, understand, and purchase products. The research, which examined 200 UK and US retailers across 20 sectors, found that jewelers overall scored 79, outperforming many other categories, and highlighted the growing importance of AI assistants for shoppers, especially during peak events like Black Friday. The analysis revealed that while most jewelers allow AI agents onto their sites, many still lack detailed product information such as delivery, returns, and barcode data, limiting the agents' ability to fully serve customers. Improving these data points could further enhance AI-driven shopping experiences and give retailers a competitive edge as the proportion of shoppers using AI tools continues to rise.
