Sticker Mule partners with xAI to deploy Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers
Sticker Mule partners with xAI to deploy Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sticker Mule will bring Grok to 370 employees and millions of customers worldwide. Implementation begins in August with Grok being deployed across all departments including engineering, marketing, finance, support and manufacturing. 'Everyone with an email at Sticker Mule is getting Grok, including many front line factory employees,' said Sticker Mule CEO, Anthony Constantino. 'We wanted to be among the first to implement Grok company-wide as we most trust xAI's capabilities.' The company will also begin implementing Grok-powered customer support and utilize Grok as its business brain to enhance decision-making. 'AI is going to beat up pure software businesses, but it will help innovators that sell physical products like Sticker Mule,' Constantino said. 'AI can't manufacture, but it will help innovators, like Sticker Mule, to reach feature parity with incumbent software platforms.' Sticker Mule recently entered the e-commerce market by launching Stores which has already helped sellers earn nearly $200,000 while in beta. Constantino expects AI to accelerate development of Stores and position it to challenge incumbents like Shopify. To supplement Stores, the company is also building a suite of business tools to further help its sellers including Give, an automated online giveaway platform, that was launched recently. Give automates giveaways to help sellers grow their Email and SMS marketing lists. Sticker Mule is also soon to release Notify, a full blown Email and SMS marketing platform that's in beta testing and other tools will follow. 'We believe, with xAI, we can likely double sales with minimal staff growth which will enable us to significantly improve compensation for our team and store sellers,' said Constantino. About Sticker Mule Sticker Mule is the best way to buy and sell custom merchandise, including stickers, t-shirts, magnets, buttons, labels, packaging, keychains, temporary tattoos, and an award-winning hot sauce. Founded in 2010, today we are powered by 1,200+ people in 30+ countries, with factories in New York, South Carolina and Italy.

UK warned it risks exodus of 'disillusioned' doctors
Nearly one in five doctors is considering quitting in the UK, new figures show, while one in eight is thinking about leaving the country to work abroad. The General Medical Council (GMC), which commissioned the research, is warning that plans to cut hospital waiting lists will be at risk unless more is done to retain them. By July 2029, the prime minister has said 92% of patients needing routine hospital treatment like hip and knee replacements will be . "[Poor staff retention] could threaten government ambitions to reduce waiting times and deliver better care to patients," warned the authors of the GMC's latest report. The main reason doctors gave for considering moving abroad was they are "treated better" in other countries, while the second most common reason was better pay. Some 43% said they had researched career opportunities in other countries, while 15% reported taking "hard steps" towards moving abroad, like applying for roles or contacting recruiters. "Like any profession, doctors who are disillusioned with their careers will start looking elsewhere," said Charlie Massey, chief executive of the GMC. "Doctors need to be satisfied, supported, and see a hopeful future for themselves, or we may risk losing their talent and expertise altogether." Read more on Sky News:Airport reopens after plane incidentReeves told big tax rises neededHiroshima survivor's warning, 80 years on The report - which comes after a recent five-day walkout by resident doctors - is based on the responses of 4,697 doctors around the UK and also explores how they feel about career progression. One in three said they are unable to progress their education, training and careers in the way they want. Those who didn't feel like their careers were progressing were at higher risk of burnout and were less satisfied with their work. The GMC blamed workloads, competition for jobs, and lack of senior support for development for adversely impacting the career progression of UK doctors. 'Legitimate complaints' The Department of Health and Social Care acknowledged doctors had suffered "more than a decade of neglect". "Doctors have legitimate complaints about their conditions, including issues with training bottlenecks and career progression," said a spokesperson. "We want to work with them to address these and improve their working lives, which includes our plans set out in the 10 Year Health Plan to prioritise UK graduates and increase speciality training posts. "This government is committed to improving career opportunities and working conditions, bringing in ways to recognise and reward talent - as well as freeing up clinicians' time by cutting red tape."
