- [Music Business Worldwide] Ticketmaster Connects Event Search and Seat Selection Inside Gemini ↗
Ticketmaster launched a connected app inside Google Gemini. Users can ask in natural language for concerts, sports, theater, and festivals, then compare live seating options and ticket prices. Once they choose seats, Gemini sends them to Ticketmaster with those seats still selected for checkout. The feature starts with US-based English users, while Ticketmaster is also feeding the same ticket inventory into ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Mode, and Amazon Alexa+.
- [Dataconomy] Facebook Launches a Standalone Creator Studio App With AI Tools ↗
Meta launched a standalone Creator Studio app for Facebook creators in the US and Canada. Its AI creator assistant gives recommendations based on a creator's content style, performance, audience engagement, and goals, including when to post and what commenters are saying. An AI comment tool flags the comments it sees as most important and drafts replies in the creator's tone. Creators can edit and approve the suggested replies before posting them.
- [Dataconomy] Twitch Gives Streamers an Opt-Out for Amazon Generative-AI Training ↗
Twitch added an account setting that lets streamers exclude their channel content from Amazon's generative-AI model training. The setting covers livestreams, archived videos, clips, chat, and other channel text and images. It is enabled by default, so streamers have to turn it off themselves if they do not want future channel content used for this training. Twitch said some AI and machine-learning systems, including captions and platform-wide safety features, cannot be disabled one channel at a time.
One line: Entertainment platforms are moving search, creation, and training-data control into AI interfaces that sit outside the old standalone app flow.
