💰 Island’s ~$14k ChatGPT sales experiment

Robin de Thiersant from environmentally-friendly furniture firm Work With Island shared how their experimentation in optimizing for AEO (ie SEO for AI results) led to their first unassisted ChatGPT-to-Shopify transaction for a smooth €12k.

Now why am I sharing how a furniture provider is seeing success in optimizing for AI search? You know who searches for furniture? Yeap, you do. So if you can see that use-case converting, you can be sure your members are also asking AI about coworking spaces nearby them. Are you ready to convert that demand when it lands?

🗽 Tishman takes back huge WeWork space in Queens

Bisnow reports on how Tishman Speyer reached a deal with WeWork to take back 217k sqft at The Jacx in Long Island City. The space will be operated by the landlords’ Studio brand, with existing members being given the option to stay in the space for the duration of their previous agreement.

Interestingly members using WeWork’s All Access and On Demand program will also be able to use the space, even after the transfer of ownership. Could this be a sign of a move the AA/OD teams are working on?
