Nearly half of retail and CPG companies are already using or evaluating agentic AI—intelligent, autonomous agents that can discover products, compare options, and complete transactions on a customer's behalf with minimal human input. As consumers increasingly expect personalized, channel-agnostic experiences, agentic AI gives retailers the ability to meet those expectations at scale. From automating complex commerce workflows and personalizing engagement across every touchpoint to enabling richer product discovery and faster, smarter transactions, agentic AI is redefining the digital commerce journey—and creating new efficiency and revenue opportunities for the retailers and brands that move fastest.
