Black History Month is a time to recognize the lasting impact of Black leaders who have paved the way and shaped communities, rights, and the world around us. As we kick off BHM, I want to give a shout out to Jamien Jordan, Anthony Okoro, and our Black Employees at eBay (BEE) Community of Inclusion for organizing an incredible series of events highlighting Black Trailblazers and Pioneers of Progress.    It’s an honor to co-sponsor the BEE community alongside Julie Loeger. Together, we look forward to honoring the sacrifices of those who have paved the way and recommit ourselves to continuing to build an inclusive, equitable community here at eBay.

Announcing eBay’s collaboration with OpenAI on #Operator (https://lnkd.in/e-jc-HnJ) At eBay, we’re leveraging the latest advances in AI to reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts. The evolution from LLMs to agentic systems is happening faster than most of us would have predicted just a year ago, and we believe agent-based interactions will play a major role in the future of ecommerce over the next few years and of the digital economy as a whole. Today’s announcement of eBay’s collaboration with #OpenAI marks an important step in our AI strategy. As one of the first companies to collaborate with OpenAI on their research preview of AI agent, Operator, we are taking a step forward in shaping the future of agentic ecommerce in a way that benefits and protects our customers. Our collaboration with OpenAI will introduce a new paradigm of discovery and shopping online. Operator acts as a virtual assistant, autonomously performing tasks across the internet, including online shopping, and directs users to eBay for unique inventory finds. We anticipate that through this collaboration, we will expand the reach of our sellers, giving more buyers exposure to eBay’s unique inventory. This is just the beginning. As we continue to evolve our internal AI agent capabilities, and deepen our strategic partnerships, we’re learning how these technologies can best empower buyers to discover more of the things they love and enable sellers to grow their businesses successfully. As we continue to advance our AI strategy, stay tuned for more updates as we continue to lead the way in reinventing the future of ecommerce.

Exciting things are happening at eBay! Last month, we hosted Cassandra Thorpe in San Jose. She joins us as part of a group of brand ambassadors who’ve curated shoppable storefronts full of the things they love on eBay. Cassie spent the day exploring all the fun things around campus, then stopped by the Growth All-Hands to talk fashion with Global Head of Brand Emily O’Hara and US Brand Director Kate Green. She did it all in an incredible Burberry coat she found on eBay. Check out more of Cassie’s faves in her curated collection: ebay.com/CassieThorpe
