Top Publishers Hand-Selecting Amazon Brands to Promote this Holiday Season

This holiday season, top publishers are actively sourcing brands to include in their gift guides, newsletters, listicles, reviews, and more to drive high-intent shoppers straight to Amazon storefronts.

Here’s why it matters:

• Amazon brands are seeing a 5:1 conversion rate compared to their DTC site

• Millions of shoppers discover products through trusted publishers

Levanta is working directly with these publishers to introduce them to a small number of 7–9 figure brands.

If you qualify, your products could be featured in high-traffic placements that deliver predictable CAC and directly measurable sales.

Google thinks it can have AI summaries and a healthy web, too

Google's vice president of government affairs and public policy, Markham Erickson, defended the use of AI summaries in search results during an AI summit in New York. Erickson argued that user preferences are shifting from "factual answers" provided by original websites to contextual summaries provided by AI Overviews, which appear at the top of the main page of search results. The company's goal is to maintain a "healthy ecosystem" with both AI summaries and regular search results, sometimes referred to as 10 blue links. Penske Media Corporation alleged that this drop in search traffic leads to a decline in revenue for online publishers. Erickson defended Google's philosophy of maintaining a healthy ecosystem, stating that the 10 blue links serve the ecosystem well and are still an important part of it. However, user preferences and what users want are changing, with users increasingly wanting contextual answers and summaries. Google aims to provide these while driving people back to valuable content on the Internet.

AT&T’s AI call-screening tool uses your call history to filter out spam

AT&T is testing an AI-powered assistant to screen phone calls for customers. The feature, similar to a digital receptionist, can identify and filter out robocallers based on network information like call history. The AI assistant will ask for more information about the caller and why, patching the call through if it meets certain criteria, such as determining the caller is human based on voice sound or detecting a sense of urgency. If it doesn't, it can take a message or hang up. AT&T will use the information from its network to determine if a caller is someone you interact with frequently, or you can put numbers on a "Do Not Screen" list to allow lesser-used calls to go directly to you. Building the AI agent directly into the carrier's network helps it stand out from other call-screening features launched by Google and Apple.

Meta’s new smart glasses are coming this week

Meta is set to unveil new smart glasses at its Connect conference, featuring a Hypernova wristband with a small display in the right lens. The wristband uses surface electromyography (sEMG) technology, acquired in 2019 from CTRL-Labs. The glasses are expected to cost around $800 and may be thicker and heavier than other Meta offerings. The company has sold 2 million pairs of Ray-Ban Metas, and rumors suggest it may introduce new models, such as third-generation Ray-Ban Metas with better 3K video resolution and double battery life. Meta is also working on an ultra-light headset that offloads compute to a puck running Horizon OS, with a release date of 2026. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to touch on the metaverse, and the company is also focusing on AI features in its apps and hardware.
