$GRPN https://www.groupon.com/hubs/ai-builder-pack The idea is simple:
Groupon provides the deals + handles checkout.
Builders bring the audience, discovery layer and use case.
Examples could be:
local activity apps
wellness/deal discovery sites
neighborhood communities
personal AI agents finding experiences by budget and interests
Strategically, this matters because Groupon no longer has to own every customer interface.
The distribution model can become:
merchant supply → Groupon inventory → external apps / AI agents → customer → Groupon checkout
If this gains adoption, Groupon starts looking less like just a destination website and more like commerce infrastructure for local experiences.
