Ex-Con Founder Launches AI-Powered Job Platform for Former Prisoners
Richard Bronson, a former partner at Stratton Oakmont who served prison time for securities fraud, has launched Commissary Club, an employment-focused social media platform for ex-convicts. The platform uses AI to assist users with job and housing searches, benefits access, and community building. Bronson's experience of being 'radioactive' to employers post-release inspired the venture. The site offers free initial applications and then charges a fee for additional ones. Commissary Club was selected for TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield 200 at Disrupt 2026. The startup is a two-person team with co-founder Roman Kissin, a former CTO of LexisNexis.
Walmart's AI assistant Sparky drives CX gains and sales growth
Walmart U.S. President and CEO David Guggina highlighted at the Goldman Sachs Global Consumer and Retail Conference how AI is reshaping Walmart's operations and customer experience. AI-driven efficiencies have led to faster delivery and cost savings, reinvested into competitive pricing and CX. The retailer's homegrown AI assistant Sparky, now central to its experience improvements, saw weekly engagement grow 60% quarter over quarter and visual search capabilities led to a 57% spike in conversion. Sparky also drives 40% higher average order values. Walmart also benefits from external AI agents like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, which deep link to Walmart, resulting in high conversion rates. This contrasts with Amazon's blocking of such agents. Guggina hinted at integrating Sparky into other areas like Vizio TVs.
