The rise of agentic commerce: When AI becomes the shopper

25 November 2025 at 12:05

A few years ago, I could still keep up with my own online shopping. Now, even that feels old-fashioned. Between work, travel and a thousand digital distractions, I do not have time to compare prices or fill out checkout forms.

Soon, I may not have to. Artificial intelligence is learning to do it for me; not just to recommend, but to buy.

That is the promise of agentic commerce, a term we will all be hearing more often. It describes a world where autonomous AI agents act as shoppers on our behalf. You tell your digital assistant, โ€œReorder my favorite coffee beans when I am running low,โ€ and it quietly handles everything from searching and comparing to paying and tracking delivery.

For CIOs, this is not a side show. It is the next wave of digital transformation; one that could rewrite how businesses attract, serve and keep customers.

From clicking to delegating

Traditional e-commerce depends on human attention. People browse, compare, decide and click. The companyโ€™s job has been to design beautiful sites and frictionless checkout flows.

Agentic commerce flips that script. Customers will increasingly delegate intent, not actions. They will say what they want and an AI agent will execute.

That means your next โ€œcustomerโ€ might not be a person at all. It could be an algorithm shopping on behalf of one.

As a CIO, I find that idea both thrilling and unsettling. It moves us from user experience to machine-to-machine experience. The winning brands will not be the ones with the best imagery or marketing copy. They will be the ones whose data is clean, structured and trustworthy enough for an AI agent to understand.

Also, agentic commerce fundamentally reshapes search optimization because the audience for search is no longer just human. Itโ€™s now AI agents and they donโ€™t โ€œsearchโ€ the way people do. They parse data, not pages.

In this world, data quality is the new storefront.

Early signals of the shift

We are already seeing the change.

Amazon is testing a โ€œBuy for Meโ€ feature that lets its AI purchase items from other retailers if Amazon does not carry them. OpenAIโ€™s ChatGPT added instant checkout inside chat conversations. Google is piloting an AI shopping mode that tracks prices and buys automatically when a target price is reached.

Payment networks are following fast. Visa and Mastercard are building APIs that let verified AI agents spend within approved budgets. AI startups like Perplexity are partnering with PayPal so users can discover and buy products in a single chat thread.

None of this is futuristic. It is already piloting. And while the technical underpinnings are complex, the outcome is simple: friction disappears. Shopping becomes invisible.

Why this matters to leaders

When technology removes friction, it doesnโ€™t just speed up transactions. It changes who holds power in the value chain.

If AI agents become the dominant gateway to purchasing, they will decide which products get visibility. That is a fundamental shift from competing for human clicks to competing for algorithmic trust.

For CIOs and digital leaders, I see three implications:

  1. Your APIs are your new storefront. Agents do not browse web pages. They query structured data. Clean catalogs, consistent metadata and real-time inventory feeds will determine if you are even visible to AI shoppers.
  2. Marketing will evolve from persuasion to precision. Agents care about facts such as price, quality, sustainability and fulfillment reliability. Brands will need to embed their differentiation into the data itself.
  3. Security and identity become strategic. โ€œKnow your customerโ€ becomes โ€œKnow your agent.โ€ Every transaction will need proof that an AI truly represents its user, with controls to limit what it can spend.

The companies that treat these changes as infrastructure work, not as experiments, will win early.

The road ahead

Analysts are already tracking the momentum. McKinsey estimates that agentic commerce could influence up to $3 to $5 trillion annually in global retail sales by 2030. Traffic to US retail sites from GenAI browsers and chat services increased 4,700% year-over-year in July 2025, according to Adobe.

Those are big numbers, but the real story is what happens inside the enterprise.

Retailers are reorganizing their technology stacks to expose product data through standardized APIs. Payment networks are piloting agent-initiated credentials with built-in spending caps. And global marketplaces such as Alibaba and Mirakl are investing in shared โ€œagentic commerceโ€ layers so AI shoppers can discover and buy across multiple sellers seamlessly.

The ecosystem is being built in real time.

Opportunities and risks

As with every technological leap, opportunity and risk arrive together.

The opportunity:

  • Seamless, conversational online shopping could reduce abandoned carts and increase loyalty.
  • Routine B2B procurement can become fully automated, freeing people for higher-value work.
  • Small merchants can reach new audiences if their data is structured for AI discovery.

The risk:

  • Fraud and identity spoofing could rise before security standards mature.
  • Brands may lose direct customer relationships as agents handle the interaction.
  • Regulations have not caught up, leaving questions about liability if an AI buys the wrong product.

The way forward is balance. Build for automation but preserve oversight. Allow agents to act, but design transparent audit trails. And above all, keep the customer in control.

What I am telling my own teams

Within my organization, we have started treating AI agents as a new type of digital channel, similar to the early days of mobile or voice. That means preparing in three ways:

  1. Data readiness. We are standardizing product and service data so it is understandable by both humans and machines.
  2. Security readiness. We are exploring delegated authorization so that when an AI agent acts, it is properly authenticated and accountable.
  3. Mindset readiness. We are teaching teams to think in terms of intents and outcomes rather than interfaces and clicks.

Even if agentic commerce takes longer to mature, these capabilities strengthen every part of digital operations today.

The human side of automation

Some worry that letting AI agents shop for us removes the human touch from commerce. I see it differently.

When technology handles repetitive tasks, people gain time for higher-order decisions such as exploring new products, building relationships or enjoying the experience.

The winners in this new landscape will combine trust and transparency with automation. They will let customers delegate routine choices while staying confident that the AI is acting in their best interest.

That has always been the purpose of digital transformation: not replacing people, but amplifying what they can achieve.

A new kind of customer

Every major digital shift brings a new kind of customer.

  • The web brought the global customer.
  • Mobile brought the always-connected customer.
  • AI will bring the autonomous customer, represented by an agent.

For CIOs, this is both a challenge and an invitation. We can wait until these agents start knocking on our digital doors or we can design systems ready to welcome them.

The infrastructure is forming, the standards are emerging and the opportunity is wide open.

And the next time your AI assistant says, โ€œI found the best deal and already placed the order,โ€ you will know that the era of agentic commerce has officially begun.

Inside the product mindset that runs 7-Eleven

20 November 2025 at 05:00

In 2016, 7-Eleven began a digital transformation aimed at redefining convenience. The starting point was loyalty. โ€œStep one was to build a product discipline, bring the technology in house, and reduce reliance on third parties,โ€ says Scott Albert, VP and head of store and enterprise products.

Two years later, the Texas-based retailer reapplied the product playbook, now powering store systems across more than 13,000 US and Canadian locations. โ€œWe moved from projects โ€” start date, end date โ€” to product: continuous improvement and iteration,โ€ Albert says. โ€œFrom outputs to outcomes, co-owned with design and engineering.โ€

Albert knows the terrain. A company veteran who cut his teeth in operations, he led product for loyalty and now oversees digital product for store systems, fuel, restaurant concepts, and merchandising, evidence of how far the model has scaled.

Setting the foundation

The idea was straightforward but the shift wasnโ€™t. โ€œIt was tough early on because it meant change,โ€ Albert says. โ€œThe business was used to saying, โ€˜I need X.โ€™ Often that wasnโ€™t the real problem. Our job was to get underneath, understand the problem, design a solution for now and the future, and then iterate.โ€

It takes several ingredients to solve big problems, like customer research, business process knowledge, data, and technology, so itโ€™s natural that product teams are cross-functional. But that structure can also create competing priorities if not managed correctly. While the setting is convenience retail, the lesson applies to any CIO shifting from project-based delivery to product-driven transformation. โ€œSuccess depends not on org charts, but on cross-functional trust, buy-in, and commitment,โ€ he says.

That structure set the foundation, and the real breakthroughs came from applying product thinking to their daily work.

Product thinking in action

โ€œFor me and my team, the customer is the store associate,โ€ Albert says. That focus shaped priorities to remove low-value tasks, surface just-in-time insights, and let systems work for people, not the other way around.

The team learned this firsthand on midnight store walks. In one New York City visit, they noticed a new associate glued to her phone. โ€œWe thought she was distracted,โ€ Albert says. โ€œTurns out sheโ€™d recorded her trainer so she could remember.โ€ That single observation sparked a redesign of training to move job aids and how-to videos from a back-room PCs to mobile devices on the floor, embedded in the flow of work.

The same product instinct of watching users, identifying friction, and iterating has carried into 7-Elevenโ€™s AI initiatives. AI-assisted ordering, for example, reduced what was once up to 30 hours a week of manual work to under an hour a day, freeing up associates to focus on customers. At scale, those savings add up to more than 13 million hours reclaimed annually, and test-and-learn pilots tying the changes to about $340 million in incremental sales.

The back office has been transformed as well. After migrating store systems to the cloud with its 7-BOSS platform, 7-Eleven layered in โ€œquick cardsโ€ that surface AI-generated insights and let associates act in three clicks or less. A clustering model identifies lookalike stores by sales mix, location type, even seasonality, and pushes tailored assortment recommendations. โ€œWith three clicks, you can add an item, forecasting kicks in, and delivery happens in days,โ€ Albert says.

Together, these stories trace a clear pattern of observing the customer (in this case the store personnel), solving for their pain points, then amplifying the solution with data and AI. Itโ€™s product thinking at work.

Operating like a product company

Behind the scenes, the mechanics mirror digital natives. Teams run in pods with product, engineering, and design as a three-legged stool. Quarterly planning sets direction, but roadmaps flex. โ€œTell me everything youโ€™ll do next year โ€” that was the old model,โ€ Albert says. โ€œNow we focus on quarters, but sometimes thatโ€™s too long. We plan, then adapt.โ€

Release cadence has accelerated as well, from two or three big bangs a year to monthly releases.

The cultural shift is ongoing funding for work that never ends. โ€œThereโ€™s no such thing as done in product,โ€ he says. โ€œWeโ€™re on the fifth iteration of our forecasting model. Weโ€™ll keep improving.โ€

Start small, measure hard

Albertโ€™s advice to other tech executives: start small. โ€œFind a problem that matters, build a cross-functional team, measure success, and validate results,โ€ he says. โ€œThen add a second team, a third, and youโ€™re off.โ€

And above all, measure. โ€œPick metrics backed by data so no one can debate the results,โ€ he adds.

Nearly 10 years after its first loyalty decision, 7-Elevenโ€™s product mindset now extends far beyond consumer apps. The store itself has become a living product, updated monthly, informed by data, and built around the associate.

For Albert, the real measure of success is to make the system work for the associate, so they can delight customers. โ€œItโ€™s the same product discipline, now applied to every corner of the store, and itโ€™s redefining what convenience looks like at scale,โ€ he says.
