I was going to post this as well. This is a "stupid AI" sales. AI in this case is just a bot with very little database, and say it controls prices. Make sure it doesn't go below a level.
Profit...?
You could have a model that learns from previous pricing changes that could be considered AI.
It could, but I doubt they would invest in that. You need a specialized database for that.
I do think that you only really need real time data. That's what they use for traffic pricing. I guess I'm just being argumentative.
There have been attempts to do that with the stock market, and none of them have worked.
