In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Andrew Lipsman, an independent analyst in the retail media space and the author of Media, Ads + Commerce. Andrew and I discuss the prospects for -- and the futility of -- agentic commerce. Among other things, our conversation covers:
- The definition of 'agentic commerce'
- The 'fundamental flaws' in agentic commerce from a conceptual and commercial standpoint
- Whether independent agents can capably fulfill commercial transactions if platforms like Amazon and Shopify block them
- Whether open web advertising is a useful analog for agentic commerce
- Whether agentic commerce is fundamentally at odds with consumers' interests
- Amazon's own implementations of commercial agents
