Hi Nicole,
I'm Kat from CatsAI. As EVP, Chief Merchandising Officer at PetSmart, you're likely watching Amazon and Petco move aggressively into AI companion experiences for pet owners โ they're already live. PetSmart is the last major player without one, and that gap is a real opportunity.
We've built a low-risk 60-day pilot structure with measurable KPIs and board-ready ROI framing. No long-term lock-in, no platform rebuild โ just a clear path to market leadership in AI-powered pet retail before the window closes.
Would a 30-minute strategy conversation be worthwhile? Happy to work around your calendar.
Best,
Kat Lover
CatsAI
