Retailers Adopt Agentic AI Commerce Experiences

Retailers are rapidly adopting 'agentic commerce' this holiday season, reworking product data, payments and discovery to let AI intermediaries suggest and complete purchases. Major chains — Walmart, Target and Etsy via OpenAI integrations, and Amazon with its Rufus assistant used by over 250 million customers — report rising conversational queries (Target: 25%) and PYMNTS found 42% used AI assistants on Black Friday.
