Search Is In An Advantageous Position For AI-based Commerce with John Andrews The latest Watson Weekend podcast episode, hosted by Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky, discusses recent retail developments, including the elimination of the de minimis rule impacting U.S. imports, Starbucks' Taylor Swift-themed in-store experience to regain customers, Instacart 's integration with TikTok for retail media targeting, and PayPal's 5% cash back offer on BNPL purchases to boost holiday sales.

John explains how Cimulate uses large language models and synthetic personas to enhance search and merchandising by understanding customer intent and context, enabling more personalized and conversational shopping experiences. He stresses that while AI advances are transformative, human merchants remain vital, and retailers must prepare for rapid shifts in commerce technology. #watsonweekend #ai #artificialintelligence #agenticcommerce #search

The pace of innovation in the agentic commerce space right now has been fun to watch – an exciting time to be involved in this market, for sure. The launch of ChatGPT’s instant checkout shows how fast we’re moving toward agentic commerce: a world where AI agents will research, compare, and even purchase products on our behalf. It’s an exciting step forward, but it also highlights how far we still have to go. Consumers don’t shop purely through logic or convenience; they’re influenced by storytelling, design, and emotion. While AI has become a powerful tool for product research and comparison, it doesn’t yet capture the nuance of brand experience or the discovery moments that happen in a beautifully merchandised digital storefront. This feature (currently limited to brands that have opted in) reinforces a broader truth: the future of commerce won’t be won by those who simply wait for external AI platforms to mature, but by brands who start optimizing for AI-driven discovery today. The Instant Checkout experience will get better, and brands need to be ready. To stay visible and relevant as agents begin to shop for consumers, brands need to ensure their own sites are ready for AI search: structured, context-rich, and built for machine understanding as much as human connection. The shift toward agentic commerce is happening. The question is whether your brand will be found in that future. Cimulate is the first CommerceGPT LLM purpose-built for commerce, delivering AI-native shopping experiences powered by context. We replace legacy search, browse, and recommendation tools that rely on clickstream data and keywords, but fail to understand natural language or intent. Our MCP Server exposes your search and product data, enabling AI agents to surface your products to consumers shopping on platforms like Claude and ChatGPT. For retailers building next-gen AI digital experiences, Cimulate improves conversion by delivering search results that truly understand customer context while also making your brand and products discoverable by both humans and AI agents. As AI agents begin to shop on behalf of consumers, context will become the new currency of commerce. The brands that build for that future now will be the ones these agents choose first. Is your brand ready for the era of agentic commerce? Cimulate AI
