Create your Agentic Commerce Strategy Plan - Map where your category is going under agent mediation, define where your business has the right to win, and the 18-month plan to get there. Includes market thesis, competitive positioning, and board-ready sequencing.
Outputs: Market thesis · Competitive map · Investment roadmap
Understand and start to manage revenue from agent-mediated channels. Includes decisions on development roadmap such as creating agent-readable catalog and content, pricing for AI buyers, and the surfaces — search, marketplaces, native agents — where your products show up when a customer asks.
Outputs: Channel strategy · Agent GEO + catalog + conversion optimization strategies · Partnership playbook
The unit economics of running agents at scale. Most companies model experience design and infrastructure separately — picking the model, the latency targets, and the agent surfaces without ever connecting them to token costs. At pilot, the math works. At volume, the margin disappears.
This is the work that designs both at once.
Outputs: Unit economics model · Experience-architecture tradeoff map · Compute and model selection
The systems agents need to transact with your business — identity, authorization, data, and integration. Aligned to emerging protocols (MCP, AP2, ACP) so the work doesn't need to be redone in 18 months.
Outputs: Reference architecture · Build/buy/partner map · Implementation sequencing
Agentic commerce is shopping powered by AI agents — systems that assist consumers and, with permission, act on their behalf. They anticipate needs, evaluate options, and execute transactions in line with human intent.
The shift is already underway. More than 40% of U.S. consumers now begin at least some purchase journeys with AI, whether through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, or another platform.
What changed in 2025 was the prompt. Consumers learned that AI could discover products, evaluate trade-offs, and recommend what to buy. The consumer still completed the transaction.
What is changing in 2026 is delegation. The instinct to ask AI to draft a presentation or plan a vacation is extending into commerce: reorder this, replace that, book the next available option. Increasingly, each step of the journey can be assisted—or executed—by AI.
This shift will reshape every surface of commerce: discovery, consideration, purchase, fulfillment, and reordering. The businesses preparing now will help define the next era. Those waiting for certainty may discover that the market moved before they did.
