👀 NANO BANANA PRO CHRISTMAS EDITION for SELLERS

Jay Margoliot, an AI expert who happens to be speaking at BDSS 13 Virtual in January, has a little gift for you this holiday season.

He created the perfect Nano Banana Pro prompt that Christmasifies any product photo in less than one minute.

If you sell gifts or seasonal products, you already know how much a holiday-themed image can influence buying behavior (a 20-50% CTR boost in many cases).

And since we are already deep in the holiday peak, every upgrade counts.

For 10 years he paid designers for every Christmas version of every listing image. It took time, money, and endless back and forth.

This week everything changed.

He built one simple prompt for Nano Banana Pro and it turns a regular photo into a clean and realistic Christmas version.

He tested it on lifestyle shots, kid images, and product photos, and the results were better than anything he ever paid for (it shocked him how good it was).

Since it helped him so much, he wants to share it with you as a small holiday gift.

He also recorded a short demo video (below) that shows exactly how to use it. I highly recommend watching it, especially the surprise at the end.

Enjoy the magic

🤖  ALEXA+ GOES AGENTIC and AUTONOMOUS

Amazon completely rebuilt Alexa from the ground up using generative AI, transforming it from a voice-command tool into an autonomous agent that can actually complete tasks for you without constant prompting.

How It Works:

  • Multi-Model Orchestration: Alexa+ combines multiple large language models working together through Amazon Bedrock, evaluating different AI providers in real-time to handle requests from start to finish

  • Nova Act Visual Agent: When websites don't have APIs, Alexa+ can now "see" web pages and interact with them like a human, navigating sites, filling forms, clicking buttons, and completing transactions

  • Cross-Device Integration: Amazon coordinated efforts across AWS, Devices & Services, and their AGI teams to create a system that works seamlessly across tens of thousands of connected devices and services

What It Means for You:

Instead of giving Alexa a series of commands, you'll be able to make a single request and let the AI handle the entire workflow. Think: "Book me a hotel in Miami for next weekend" and Alexa+ navigates booking sites, compares options, fills out forms, and completes the reservation autonomously.

The Bigger Vision: Amazon calls it "ambient assistance." Alexa+ running quietly in the background, coordinating services across your digital life without you having to orchestrate every step.

This represents Amazon's push toward truly autonomous AI assistants that don't just respond to commands but proactively execute complex, multi-step tasks on your behalf.

 🛠️ BDSN SOFTWARE TOOL of the DAY 🛠️

Searchable’s Free AI Visibility Report is a lightweight way for e-commerce brands to see how often they show up in AI-driven answers and how they stack up against competitors.

The report analyzes how frequently your brand is mentioned across major AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for a curated set of industry-relevant prompts.

It then benchmarks your presence against key competitors so you can see who “owns” AI-generated recommendations in your category.​

You get an AI Visibility Score that shows the percentage of prompts where your brand appears, plus trend data over the last 7 days so you can see whether visibility is rising or slipping.

The report also surfaces “Share of Voice” in AI answers, highlighting how your mentions compare to rival brands and who leads the conversation.​

As shoppers increasingly ask AI tools what to buy, being visible inside those answers becomes as important as ranking on Google.

The report helps e-commerce marketers understand where they’re already winning in AI search, where competitors are dominating, and where to focus content and AEO/SEO efforts to capture more AI-driven demand.

STEPS:

  • Go to Searchable and sign up for the trial

  • Enter your domain and run a visibility report

  • Analyze how people are finding your business

  • Use the Searchable Agent to form a strategy

Sample Prompt: Analyze my top 3 competitors (XYZ) and identify their customer acquisition strategies across search, content, and brand positioning.

Show me the gaps in their approach and recommend specific tactics [my brand] can use to capture more clicks and revenue from [XYZ customer type] in the UK and US markets.

  • Start making optimizations and create content
