Discover how AI and agentic commerce are reshaping the retail landscape and driving new growth opportunities, with our concluding insights from Shoptalk Spring 2026.
Agentic AI is transforming retail by enhancing customer experiences and driving growth, as highlighted at Shoptalk Spring 2026.
Executive Summary
The conversation at Shoptalk Spring 2026 largely and appropriately centered on the applications and benefits of AI tools, rather than breathless hype about the technology, and the topic of agentic commerce generated more questions than blue-eyed optimism. AI continues to be an augmenter, rather than a replacement, for humans, including shoppers. At the same time, the capabilities of AI models continue to improve, fueled in part by agentic AI. The flexibility and power of agentic AI is prompting many enterprises to consider bringing many applications in-house. Other benefits of AI include helping shoppers with difficult, high-ticket-purchase decisions and improving the delivery experience.
