## AI overview

This tutorial explains how Apollo GraphOS and a retail supergraph can unify data from internal sources and third-party services for modern shopping applications across mobile, web, and in-store channels. It describes how frontend teams query a single source of truth with GraphQL while backend teams independently manage parts of the supergraph schema.

## Source excerpt

Customers expect a lot from modern online shopping experiences today. Whether they want to place an order from a mobile app, an eCommerce website, or an in-store kiosk, that experience should feel as seamless as possible. However, providing a consistent, frictionless experience for customers across channels is much easier said than done, especially when product teams need to bring together data from countless internal sources and third-party services to make that happen.
