How should a supplements and health store in the GCC use AI?

On the volume work that nobody has time for and that customers notice when it is missing: descriptions, alt text, translations, and the reply to the question you have answered four hundred times.

Where it repays the effort

Where it does not repay the effort is judgement — what to stock, what to charge, which customer to keep. Those need context the model does not have and cannot be told quickly enough to matter.
