Descartar um celular, notebook ou tablet vai muito além de jogar o aparelho fora. Fotos, mensagens, documentos e até dados bancários podem continuar armazenados e acabar nas mãos erradas se o dispositivo não for preparado corretamente. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, Fernanda Santos conversa sobre como proteger suas informações antes de se desfazer de eletrônicos antigos, evitando golpes, fraudes e prejuízos. A entrevista é com Fernando Rodrigues, gerente de Relações Institucionais da ABREE, que explica os erros mais comuns no descarte, o passo a passo para apagar dados com segurança e como encontrar pontos oficiais de coleta. Durante a conversa, ele também fala sobre o impacto ambiental do descarte incorreto e o papel das empresas e dos consumidores na construção de um ciclo mais sustentável.

In this forward‑thinking episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, we explore one of the most critical shifts in today's work ecosystem — the transformation of flexible workspaces and commercial real estate. Joined by three world‑class experts, we unpack how hybrid work patterns, decentralization, and employee choice are reshaping physical workspace design, real estate strategy, and organizational performance. Together, they reveal how flexibility isn't a fleeting trend — it's a structural shift affecting people, productivity, cities, and companies worldwide. 

To follow on from our recent discussions regarding the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in the nonprofit sector, this episode explores the critical technical and privacy distinctions between public and enterprise AI tools. The CISA Incident and the AI Privacy GapLast week, news outlets including Politico reported that the interim director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Madhu Gottumukkala, mistakenly uploaded sensitive government contracting documents into a public version of ChatGPT. This triggered automated security warnings designed to prevent the unintentional disclosure of government material.This incident highlights that anyone can mistakenly upload sensitive data to a public tool. Even the head of CISA.Key Differences Between Public and Enterprise AI:Data Privacy: Enterprise versions (like Microsoft Copilot for 365 or Gemini for Workspace) keep your prompts and data within your organizational "cloud boundary." Your information is not used to train the underlying public models.AI Search and Permissions: With Enterprise AI, the tool can surface any document a user has permission to see. This makes cleaning up your SharePoint or Google Drive permissions essential to avoid sensitive files being inadvertently surfaced via AI search. Pay attention to files that have been shared with "anyone with this link" because Copilot and Gemini will view that as granting permission to anyone searching. Finally, spend time on staff training on how to save and share files so that permissions will need less clean up going forward. Commercial Protections: Enterprise licenses include copyright indemnity that are absent in public versions.Security: Enterprise licenses give IT management and administrative controls which are essential to securing your nonprofit's valuable data. Resources:Trump's acting cyber chief uploaded sensitive files into a public version of ChatGPT from Politico by John Sakellariadis, published Jan 27, 2026. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/27/cisa-madhu-gottumukkala-chatgpt-00749361"The interim head of the country's cyber defense agency uploaded sensitive contracting documents into a public version of ChatGPT last summer, ... The material included CISA contracting documents marked 'for official use only,' a government designation for information that is considered sensitive and not for public release."Microsoft Copilot vs. ChatGPT: Data Protection Explained from Community IT."If you are using Copilot with a 365 subscription, your prompts and data are not used to train the underlying large language model. It keeps your data within your enterprise cloud boundary... This protection only applies when you are signed in to an eligible work or school account."Upcoming Webinar: Verifying Your AI SecurityJoin Community IT CTO Matt Eshleman on February 25th to learn how to distinguish between public and enterprise accounts.

For their latest company interview, Lord Lee and Alex Newman sit down with Lawrence Hutchings, who joined Workspace as CEO in November 2024.That conversation, which was taped on 9 January, was to be one of Hutchings' last in the role. Ten days after the recording, and amid mounting activist pressure from shareholder Saba Capital, Workspace abruptly announced Hutchings would be replaced as CEO by Charlie Green, co-founder of the Office Group.Despite this, we are publishing the conversation below, together with some of John's initial thoughts. Commenting on his own appointment, Green said "the strategy in place is clear and provides the right platform to rebuild occupancy and drive income growth over time." Presumably that means a degree of continuity.Let us know your thoughts on the move, or if you have any questions or any suggestions for future guests, by emailing alex.newman@ft.comListen to more podcasts from Investors' Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTubeTimestamps0:09 Intro5:52 Background on Workspace11:45 Short term rental market16:06 Creative industries 19:54 Occupancy levels24:07 John's views on Workspace28:25 Lessons from other property sub-sectors29:48 Asset disposal programme 39:36 Saba Capital43:20 The optimism scale47:14 Update on John's portfolioInvestors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.

In this solo episode, Darin breaks down one of the most misunderstood drivers of behavior change: environment. We've been taught that success comes down to discipline, motivation, and willpower, but neuroscience tells a very different story. Darin explains how modern environments hijack the brain's reward system, override conscious choice, and quietly shape habits before we even realize it. This episode is a practical, science-backed roadmap for redesigning your surroundings so healthy behaviors become automatic and self-sabotaging patterns lose their grip.     What You'll Learn Why willpower is a weak and unreliable backup system How your environment shapes behavior before conscious choice The neuroscience behind cues, habits, and automatic behavior Why modern food and tech are engineered to hijack dopamine How stress amplifies cravings and impulsive behavior The link between cortisol, dopamine, and habit formation Why changing your environment works better than "trying harder" How visual cues influence food choices and cravings Why phones, notifications, and color overstimulate the brain Simple ways to design a SuperLife environment that supports your goals     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen NAD⁺ supplements and why verification matters 00:02:18 – Introducing today's topic: environment vs willpower 00:02:42 – Why willpower has been misunderstood 00:03:18 – Willpower as a weak backup system 00:03:32 – How surroundings shape habits automatically 00:03:53 – The neuroscience of behavior change 00:04:01 – Dopamine hijacking in modern life 00:04:14 – Designing environments that make good habits automatic 00:05:06 – Why this topic matters more than ever 00:05:46 – External cues and automatic brain responses 00:06:18 – Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and habit loops 00:06:55 – Nudge theory and environmental design 00:07:31 – Why willpower shouldn't lead behavior change 00:07:55 – Food cues, stress, and cravings 00:08:20 – Phones, notifications, and dopamine overload 00:09:05 – Reward prediction and cue-driven behavior 00:10:02 – Redesigning environments to reduce addiction 00:10:34 – Stress hormones and habit reinforcement 00:11:30 – Sponsor: Our Place non-toxic cookware 00:13:34 – Stress, scrolling, and lost time 00:14:26 – Junk food, stress, and compulsive eating 00:15:12 – How environmental cues shift food desire 00:15:28 – Engineered foods and reward circuits 00:16:09 – Tech cues, stress, and attention hijacking 00:17:06 – Practical solutions: designing a SuperLife environment 00:17:48 – Kitchen setup and visual food cues 00:18:41 – Workspace design and single-purpose zones 00:19:08 – Reducing digital dopamine triggers 00:19:32 – Using grayscale mode on your phone 00:20:32 – Social environment and behavior modeling 00:21:21 – Community, support, and the SuperLife Patreon 00:22:18 – Bringing nature into your home 00:23:19 – Environment influences habits more than willpower 00:23:52 – Why inaction keeps you stuck 00:24:13 – Changing your environment to change your life 00:24:26 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

Apple has introduced Creator Studio, a subscription-based suite that embeds AI-assisted features directly into familiar productivity and creative tools while maintaining strict control over interfaces and user experience. Alongside this launch, Apple confirmed a multiyear partnership with Google to use Gemini and Google Cloud as foundational AI infrastructure, reportedly involving annual payments of around $1 billion. The approach reinforces Apple's strategy of treating AI models as interchangeable components while retaining authority at the application layer, shifting responsibility for governance and oversight away from the platform and toward downstream users and advisors.Google, meanwhile, expanded Gemini through a new Personal Intelligence feature that can reason across Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube data for consumer accounts. Available initially to paid subscribers and requiring explicit consent, the capability highlights Google's advantage in contextual data rather than model novelty. By keeping the feature out of Workspace for now, Google appears to be setting user expectations in consumer environments before enterprise deployment, a move that may influence how business users evaluate AI-enabled decision support in the future.Pax8 disclosed a data leak affecting approximately 1,800 MSP partners after an internal spreadsheet was mistakenly shared with a limited number of recipients. While no personally identifiable information was exposed, the data included licensing and commercial details that could be used for competitive intelligence or targeted attacks. The incident coincides with Pax8's rapid international expansion, new regional offices, and growing reliance by MSPs on its marketplace for procurement and security tooling, including the recent addition of Cork Cyber's risk intelligence platform.Taken together with renewed attention on AI governance, the Secure by Design initiative, and guidance on when to apply GenAI versus traditional code, the episode underscores a widening gap between automation and authority. Surveys show a majority of IT leaders now prioritize AI governance, reflecting concern over accountability, data flows, and failure handling. For MSPs and IT service providers, these developments reinforce the need to clearly define who has the power to approve, pause, or override AI-driven systems and platform dependencies, as clients increasingly expect service providers to explain and manage outcomes they may not fully control. Four things to know today Apple's Creator Studio and Google Partnership Show a Strategy Built on Control, Not AI OwnershipAs Gemini Reasons Across Gmail, Search, and YouTube, Google Redefines AI Advantage Around Context            Pax8 Data Leak, Rapid Expansion, and Marketplace Growth Expose Risk Shift to MSPsAI Governance, Secure by Design, and GenAI Adoption Reveal a Growing Authority Gap for MSPs This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/

When leaders talk about workplace design, they often focus on the physical space. But the environments that shape how people think, collaborate, and perform are just as much about processes, expectations, and unspoken norms. If we want every brain to thrive at work, we have to examine the systems that quietly determine who gets supported — and who's left to adapt. My special guest today is Nikki Drader-Mazza, and she's simplifying how to design workspaces where every brain thrives. This conversation challenges how we think about neurodiversity, inclusion, and what it actually takes to build workplaces that work for more people — not just the non-neurodiverse majority. Here's how. My special guest today is Nikki Drader-Mazza and she's simplifying how to design workspaces where every brain thrives.  We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What we really mean by neurodiversity and the newer term "neurodistinct" — and why the language we use matters more than we might think. Why "workspace design" isn't just about the physical office, and which parts of the work ecosystem most influence whether every brain can thrive. Why it's critical to examine the assumptions baked into systems designed for the non-neurodistinct population — and the risk of leaving those systems unchallenged. Why stigma around accommodations still exists, and how leaders can begin to dismantle it in meaningful ways. …and ultimately, the first assumption or system leaders and HR teams should take a hard look at when designing workplaces where every brain can thrive.

After the holiday season chaos, many families experience an annual reset into a slower winter, leading to occasional bouts of boredom. But what if boredom isn't something to fix, but something to welcome? Mother of three, author, and founder of The Workspace for Children Lizzie Assa talks with Raising Us host Elise Hu about how to encourage raising confident, resilient kids through boredom and lulls.

Fluent Fiction - Korean: New Year, New Desk: Jinsu's Journey to a Perfect Workspace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-01-11-23-34-01-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 진수는 그의 아파트에서 창밖을 바라보고 있었다.En: Jinsu was looking out the window from his apartment.Ko: 겨울 하늘은 흐리고 사람들은 두꺼운 외투와 스카프로 무장하고 있었다.En: The winter sky was overcast, and people were bundled up in thick coats and scarves.Ko: 오늘은 설날 전야, 진수는 새로운 책상을 사려고 결심했다.En: It was New Year's Eve, and Jinsu had decided to buy a new desk.Ko: 그는 프리랜서 그래픽 디자이너로 일하고 있었고, 그의 집을 작업 공간으로 사용하고 있었다.En: He was working as a freelance graphic designer and using his home as a workspace.Ko: 진수는 자신의 책상이 너무 작고 어수선해서 새로운 해를 맞이하는 데 개선이 필요하다고 느꼈다.En: Jinsu felt that his desk was too small and cluttered, and he needed an upgrade to welcome the new year.Ko: 진수는 그의 친구 민지와 해진과 함께 쇼핑몰을 향했다.En: Jinsu headed to the shopping mall with his friends Minji and Haejin.Ko: 예상대로 몰은 사람들로 가득 찼다.En: As expected, the mall was crowded with people.Ko: 모두가 세일을 찾아 다니고 있었다.En: Everyone was searching for sales.Ko: "사람이 정말 많군," 민지가 말했다.En: "It's really crowded," Minji said.Ko: "그래도 같이 와줘서 고마워," 진수가 대답했다.En: "Thanks for coming with me anyway," Jinsu replied.Ko: 가구 매장에 도착하자, 진수는 수많은 책상들을 보고 잠시 주저했다.En: Upon arriving at the furniture store, Jinsu hesitated for a moment at the sight of numerous desks.Ko: 책상들은 모두 멋졌지만, 몇몇은 너무 비쌌다.En: All the desks looked great, but some were too expensive.Ko: 진수는 기능적이면서도 아름다운 책상을 원했지만 가격도 고려해야 했다.En: Jinsu wanted a desk that was both functional and beautiful, but he also had to consider the price.Ko: 그의 머리 속에는 가족과의 저녁 식사가 떠올랐다. 그들은 항상 그의 일에 대해 물어보곤 했다.En: Images of a dinner with his family came to mind; they always asked about his work.Ko: 그는 좋은 인상을 주고 싶었다.En: He wanted to make a good impression.Ko: 진수는 고민에 빠졌다.En: Jinsu found himself in a dilemma.Ko: 세련된 책상이 마음에 들었지만 너무 비쌌다.En: The sleek desk was tempting, but it was too pricey.Ko: 반대로 저렴한 가격의 책상은 그가 상상한 것과 거리가 있었다.En: On the other hand, the cheaper desks were far from what he imagined.Ko: 그때, 그는 중간 크기의 책상을 발견했다.En: It was then that he discovered a medium-sized desk.Ko: 그 책상은 합리적인 가격에 스타일리시했지만 조금 좁았다.En: It was stylish and reasonably priced but a bit narrow.Ko: 진수는 생각에 잠겼다. "타협이 필요해," 그는 혼잣말했다.En: Jinsu pondered. "I need to compromise," he murmured to himself.Ko: 민지와 해진이 그의 결정을 지켜보고 있었다.En: Minji and Haejin watched his decision process.Ko: "그 책상 어때? 괜찮아 보여," 해진이 말했다.En: "How about that desk? It looks nice," Haejin said.Ko: 진수는 고개를 끄덕였다. "그래, 이걸로 할게."En: Jinsu nodded. "Yeah, I'll go with this one."Ko: 집으로 돌아온 진수는 새 책상을 조립했다.En: Back home, Jinsu assembled the new desk.Ko: 책상을 그의 작업 영역에 자리 잡으며, 진수는 만족감에 젖었다.En: As he set up the desk in his workspace, Jinsu was filled with satisfaction.Ko: 그의 모든 장비가 깔끔히 정리되었고, 그는 작업할 새로운 동기와 통제력을 얻은 것 같았다.En: All his equipment was neatly organized, and he felt like he had gained new motivation and control for his work.Ko: 진수는 최선을 다한 것을 알았다.En: Jinsu knew he had done his best.Ko: 완벽할 필요는 없었다.En: It didn't need to be perfect.Ko: 가끔은 지금 있는 것들을 받아들이고 적응하는 것이 더 나았다.En: Sometimes, it was better to accept and adapt to what one had.Ko: 진수는 작업 공간에서 한발 물러서서 미소를 지었다.En: Jinsu took a step back from his workspace and smiled.Ko: 새로운 해는 그의 앞에 있고, 그는 준비가 되어 있었다.En: The new year lay before him, and he was ready.

This episode of Explain IT explores the evolution of the smart workspace, moving beyond basic connectivity to create environments that act as a "magnet, not a mandate" for employees. Host Ashleigh Baker is joined by experts from Softcat and Cisco to discuss how integrated technology - ranging from seamless networking to AI-powered collaboration tools - drives employee experience and business performance. By focusing on technology that removes "meeting room fear" and enhances creativity, organisations can transform their physical offices into high-IQ hubs that rival the comfort and efficiency of home working. Ashleigh Baker is the guest host of the podcast and a team leader in Softcat's architecture service. Joining her is Tom Rowley, Softcat networking connectivity chief technologist; Jack Lewis, Softcat workspace chief technologist; and Rob Lei, Cisco UKI solutions engineering director and CTO.The conversation highlights the critical role of a performant and secure network as the foundation for these workspaces, ensuring that investments in Unified Communications (UC) are not bottlenecked by poor infrastructure. Using Softcat's own Manchester office refit as a blueprint, the guests explain how leveraging smart sensors for air quality and energy usage supports both sustainability goals and operational efficiency. Looking ahead, the panel predicts a shift toward intelligence at the edge and "agentic AI" to further optimize real-time interactions and maintain a "distance zero" feeling for remote participants.• Magnet vs. Mandate: Understanding why modern workspaces must be designed to inspire collaboration and outperform the home-working experience to draw employees back to the office.• The Network Foundation: Why a wireless-first strategy and resilient switching are essential to support the density of modern devices without creating performance bottlenecks.• Seamless Integration: How the partnership between Cisco and Microsoft Teams allows businesses to utilize their preferred platforms while benefiting from bleeding-edge hardware and unique breakout experiences.• Sustainability and Observability: Using smart sensors to monitor granular power usage and air quality, while leveraging observability to prove ROI and improve user experience.• The AI Frontier: A look at the next five years of agentic AI and cinematic meeting experiences that use automated camera switching to reduce meeting fatigue.Softcat's Explain IT podcast is the place where we discuss, debate and demystify tech in simple, jargon-free language.For more information visit softcat.com.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.

What happens when a lifelong hairstylist-turned-life-coach steps away from the salon and builds one of the most flexible, hyper-local coworking models I've ever seen? You get The Foundry Workspaces, created and operated by Vena Boddy, who brings an action-oriented, community-centered approach to coworking that works beautifully in her Michigan suburb. In this episode, Vena shares her unexpected journey into coworking, how her husband's early entrepreneurial experiences inspired their model, and why she leaned fully into fractional private offices instead of the typical dedicated office or open coworking setup. If you've ever wondered whether part-time private offices can actually work, Vena is proof that they can—not only functionally, but profitably. We talk about: How her background as a hairstylist and certified life coach shaped her philosophy as an operator How she runs a mostly unstaffed space while still delivering a boutique, high-touch experience Why her day passes and conference room rentals have become an unexpectedly strong revenue driver The power of being embedded in the local community—especially in smaller markets Why her 24 five-star Google reviews in year one are no accident The Foundry Workspaces' next chapter: a new workshop space coming in 2026 Vena's story is such a refreshing reminder that coworking doesn't have to look one certain way. You can take the space you already have, design around the needs of the people in your community, and create something that is profitable, personal, and sustainable.

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, part of our Building Better Foundations season, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche sit down with Mark Struczewski, better known as Mister Productivity. His passion is helping people get unstuck—whether through time management, clarity, or intentional focus. And in today's always-on environment, staying focused is one of the biggest challenges professionals face. The first half of our interview explores distraction awareness, practical habits, and foundational techniques for staying focused in a world full of interruptions. About Mark Struczewski Today, we're joined by Mark Struczewski—pronounced STRU-CHESS-KEY—better known as Mister Productivity. This Houston-based coach and host of the Mister Productivity™ Podcast, with over 1,340 episodes and thousands of downloads, equips busy professionals to crush overwhelm and reclaim focus. Drawing on his corporate grit and daily running discipline, Mark shares his proven 'Distraction Detox' framework to turn digital chaos into high-impact action. Please welcome Mark! Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, SnapChat How Mister Productivity Built His Approach to Staying Focused Mark didn't begin his career expecting to teach productivity. After being fired from his corporate job in 2005, he tried entrepreneurship through wedding photography—an attempt he freely admits "bombed." But that failure revealed something more important: he loved teaching, coaching, and speaking. A mentor eventually encouraged him to lean into his natural strengths. Mark hadn't realized his productivity habits were unusual until someone pointed them out. Over the years, he connected those habits back to the discipline his parents instilled—do your work, do it right, and do it on time. Productivity Starts with Foundations: Many of the skills required for staying focused begin with simple, consistent discipline—not complicated tools. The Distraction Detox: A Practical Path Toward Staying Focused Mark's "Distraction Detox" is one of his simplest yet most powerful techniques. It starts with awareness—because most people don't realize how often they're pulled off track. The exercise: Keep a small notepad or a simple notes app. Write down every single distraction as it happens. Delivery trucks Barking dogs Random thoughts Alerts and notifications Within minutes, people typically discover just how fragmented their attention has become. We're not just distracted—we're constantly distracted, and often subconsciously. You Can't Improve What You Don't See: Awareness is the first step in staying focused. What You Can Control When Staying Focused Once you have captured your distractions, the next step is to separate what you can influence from what you can't. Outside your control: Neighbor noise Construction Delivery schedules Within your control: Your pets When you schedule deep work Workspace layout Visibility (like closing blinds so pets don't react to movement) Even small adjustments can dramatically improve your ability to stay focused. The goal isn't perfection—it's reducing friction. Why Analog Tools Can Help With Staying Focused Mark strongly recommends using analog tools during focus sessions. Phones and computers invite distraction, even when you "just need to write something down." An analog notepad avoids all the digital temptations. During deep work: Capture any random idea on the notepad Flip it over Continue working After the session and after taking a break, revisit the list. You'll often find that many of the items no longer matter. Most Thoughts Lose Importance After a Break: Analog tools keep you focused without triggering digital distractions. A Simple Self-Check for Staying Focused Not every distraction is obvious. Sometimes you drift into another task without realizing it. Mark offers a quick self-check that prevents accidental derailment: "Is this what I'm supposed to be doing right now?" This three-second pause helps reset your attention and prevents you from going too far down an unintended path. Start Small: The Easiest Way to Support Staying Focused Mark believes that simplicity beats complexity. Trying to adopt a dozen productivity hacks at once leads to overwhelm. Instead, he recommends choosing one small habit: Tracking distractions Using a notepad Asking the self-check question Taking short walking breaks Simplifying your workflow Once that becomes consistent, add another layer. That's how durable, long-term focus is built. Coming Up in Part 2: More Strategies for Staying Focused In part two of our interview with Mister Productivity, we dive deeper into routines, foundational habits, and practical systems that help reduce distraction and increase focus.

I sat down with James, the Boring Marketer, to stress-test Claude 4.5 Opus against Gemini 3 Pro for real-world coding and design work. Together we live-build and compare landing pages and clickable prototypes for an “EstateClear” probate-family dashboard, then zoom out into conversion copywriting frameworks, “elevated direct response” brand voice, and ad creative workflows. The episode is a practical walkthrough of how non-technical builders can go from idea → landing page → prototype → ads using modern AI tools without vibe-coded, low-converting sites.  Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:00 – Startup Idea: EstateClear 03:17 – Claude Opus 4.5 04:47 – Gemini 3.0 Pro 09:02 – Reviewing Opus' landing page 11:16 – Reviewing Gemini's version 12:17 – Comparing the two 17:29 – Reprompting Opus 4.5 and Gemini 19:02 – Google's vertically integrated stack (AI Studio, Anti-Gravity, TPUs, Workspace) 21:50 – Nano Banana Pro and ad creative experiments 27:35 – Opus 4.5 builds a clickable EstateClear prototype 31:38 – Gemini's prototype and comparing product depth 36:40 – Anti-Gravity + Nano Banana workflow for mockups and code 44:41 – Claude Skills Workflow and Best Practices 56:41 – Final Thoughts Key Points Claude 4.5 Opus can act like a senior engineer for non-technical builders when paired with a tight skill and tools setup. Conversion wins come more from “elevated direct response” copy and clear page architecture than from fancy visuals alone. Claude's front-end design skill meaningfully reduces “AI-looking” gradients and vibe-coded layouts, producing cleaner, production-grade UIs. Live tests show Opus 4.5 generates more refined layouts and deeper product thinking, while Gemini often injects clever AI product features. Google's integration of Anti-Gravity, Nano Banana, and AI Studio points to a powerful end-to-end environment for shipping and promoting products.
