AI-generated imagery is rapidly changing the economics of e-commerce. Production costs are falling, creative output is scaling, and some of the world’s biggest retailers and marketplaces are rethinking how they produce, manage, and deploy visual content.
In this episode of The Business RoundUp, Matt Rouif, CEO and co-founder of Photoroom, joins us to explore the shift. What began with a frustration around GoPro workflows has grown into a platform used by more than 300 million people, processing over seven billion images annually.
Matt shares what Photoroom’s work with companies including Decathlon, Mercari, DoorDash and the British Red Cross reveals about the next phase of AI adoption, and why image production is becoming a major lever for efficiency, speed and growth in e-commerce.
We discuss how Decathlon reduced image costs by 99% and compressed a two-week workflow into just 20 minutes, how AI-assisted listings can help marketplaces increase supply, and why visual consistency could become increasingly important to consumer trust and conversion.
Matt also discusses the challenges ahead, including how businesses will manage AI-generated content at scale and what emerging EU AI regulations could mean for global platforms.
