The interface is changing.
So will the winners.
Who builds this demand layer?
– Foundational model players like OpenAI or Google?
– Traditional marketplaces adapting?
– Or new vertical-focused AI agents?
Still an open question.
Most marketplaces today were built by owning both supply and demand.
But AI changes that.
We’re entering an era where demand aggregation can be unbundled — and the next big winners might not own any supply at all.
🧵
We’re likely to see a wave of AI-native aggregators emerge:
They won’t own supply.
They won’t rely on SEO.
They’ll win by knowing the user better than anyone else.
And they’ll monetize intent across fragmented supply.
