New AI-powered martech releases: Dec. 14

Let’s do some good with ugly holiday sweaters and AI: The Food Group agency has set up a site for people to “knit” a holiday sweater by adding their favorite foods and beverages to a genAI prompt. For every sweater submitted, The Food Group will donate 10 meals to Feeding America. They want to donate 50,000 meals this month, so go here to contribute. (At right, my sweater made of egg nog, mom’s homemade cookies, plum pudding and fruit cake.)
