⚠️ WARNING: I'm about to start pontificating around agentic commerce in terms of different evolutions (I know, I know...) Agentic commerce 1.0 (pre-LLM era): Roku launched their shoppable ads platform 3+ years ago which has been a big success 💰 and feels like a precursor to all of this in a lot of ways Agentic commerce 2.0 (chatbots): OpenAI's ChatGPT Commerce efforts and Perplexity Shopping are really just a further extension of the social shopping trend(s) over the past 5+ years with TikTok shopping and Instagram links 🛒 with accelerated discovery efficiency thanks to AI + LLMs 🤖 Agentic commerce 3.0 (the new browser wars): this is where I think things are about to get verrrry interesting (and, admittedly, also a logical progression from existing behaviors where a consumer stores their card inside a browser). Comet from Perplexity is pretty sweet and I've heard nothing but great things about Dia from The Browser Company (though people really don't want to lose access to Arc!!). This medium actually makes more sense to me in terms of how agentic commerce *should* work but maybe that's because I'm a bit of a geezer. Imagine agentic wallet infrastructure living natively inside a browser that could store and manage verified credentials for both identity AND payments, and could provide authenticated and permissioned access to any agent or website 🤯. We are partnering with both Visa (Intelligent Commerce) and Mastercard (Agent Pay) and built a very slim protocol to enable all of this. Here is an example we built for Google Chrome. Come build and play with us!!
