Learned a term today. šÆ "Goal based shopping".
Agentic commerce is enabling entirely new shopping behaviors, primarily through goal-based shopping. Instead of searching for individual products, you can just describe a goal, like planning a kid's birthday party and the AI builds a complete basket for you.
Goal-based shopping is demand creation.Ā The agent surfaces products the shopper didnāt know they needed, because they were thinking about a life event, not a product category. You canāt search for what you donāt know to search for.
Interesting times. We will have to think more in themes rather than keywords going forward.
