The Future of AI Shopping Agents: Welcome to Retailgentic

Welcome to the very first episode of the Retailgentic Podcast, your guide to the fast-emerging world where AI agents meet retail and e-commerce.

In this foundational episode, host Scot Wingo lays out:

• Why AI shopping agents may be even more disruptive than marketplaces
• What “agentic commerce” actually means (and what doesn’t count)
• Who the major players are today — and who’s coming next
• The three phases of the shopping journey: Research → Find → Buy
• What brands and retailers need to consider: Embrace or block?
• The emerging payment protocols and agentic frameworks
• Key predictions about Apple, Meta, Stripe, and the Chinese players
• Why loyalty, personalization, and strategy are all about to be rewritten

Whether you’re a retailer, brand exec, investor, or just AI-curious, this episode sets the stage for everything to come.
