Two Amazon brands told me recently:
“We don’t really use Listing Optimization AI for images.”
Interesting.
Both already have great listings and strong creative teams.
So I asked:
“Then what do you use it for?”
Their answer?
Data.
One of them told me:
“Kamal, I absolutely love the Market Intelligence data. Our ads team and social media team use it almost every day.”
Because we’ve been calling Listing Optimization AI an image generation tool.
But that’s becoming a very small part of what people actually use it for.
Brands are using it to understand:
→ What customers actually care about
→ What competitors are doing
→ What pain points keep showing up
→ What benefits should be communicated
→ What angles their ads should focus on
→ What messaging their creative teams should test
The images are the output.
The intelligence is the real product.
I think we need to stop calling Listing Optimization AI an image generation tool.
It’s becoming a market intelligence + creative optimization platform for Amazon brands.
