Because when AI agents, I love rare pens.
This is a Montblanc.
As I get older, I'm a pen guy and I love old vintage glasses.
I don't know if you can see my Jacques Marimage box in the back.
But when I'm out of time,
What do I do?
I have Claude go look for rare pens and glasses for me online.
The biggest problem with used rare asset purchases is fraud.
So Claude will be like, ìAndrzej, I found this amazing pen, this Montblanc pen.î And I say, ìOkay, can you triple check that it's real, it's not fake?î And that's where things go up real because there's no way for him to verify that without messaging the agent and so on.
But if you have 1600 stores where people who have Montblanc pens can go and physically verify those assets at GameStop.
Now, Claude just says, yeah, I checked.
It has the physical verification stamp from- Somebody brought it in.
Exactly.
So you need physical verification built into the system for agentic commerce.
And look, the reason I know this is real is because a few years ago, I think you guys, we talked about this last time, but I sold my last startup to a company called Discord in 2020, peak pandemic.
So I come on as the head of platform.
My job is supposed to be, you know, go build SDKs, APIs and so on for gaming.
We help this company called Midjourney get going, AI, you know, generate.
But 12 months later, suddenly I find myself running without realizing an e-commerce business because it was the summer of NFTs.
And the board A's are blowing up.
