They explore how AI agents will handle routine purchases so people can focus on categories they love. Gary explains that brands must structure their websites and content to be machine-readable by agents, or risk being invisible to buyers. Drawing a parallel to the early days of Google, he urges businesses to participate early to secure a first-mover advantage.

What Agentic Commerce Really Is
Gary defines agentic commerce as a paradigm where AI agents, not humans, make purchase decisions, representing the first fundamental shift in the shopping interface in 30 years.
The user interface of shopping is changing because consumers will interact through AI agents instead of directly with websites, a shift as significant as the move from catalog to e-commerce.
Gary emphasizes that brands which do not structure their websites and content to be machine-readable by AI agents will have no chance of appearing in purchase decisions.
The shift to agentic commerce is compared to the early days of Google, when being indexed and ranking properly was the difference between success and obscurity.
