AI shopping agents just drove a 4,700% traffic surge to retail sites, signaling the dawn of agentic commerce—where AI doesn't just recommend products, it searches, negotiates, and buys on your behalf. McKinsey projects this could orchestrate $1 trillion in US retail by 2030, with global projections reaching $5 trillion. Ada Pierce and Mike Turing break down what executives need to know: from OpenAI's instant checkout and Mastercard's Agent Pay rollout to BCG's warning that retailers risk becoming "background utilities" in agent-controlled marketplaces. Learn the three critical moves every business needs to make as AI agents transform from tools into economic actors, reshaping how trillions in commerce will flow.Disclaimer: This episode is AI-powered—researched, scripted, and voiced—using publicly available real news and data.
