the problem with ai commerce right now is everyone is bolting a chatbot widget onto an existing website. that's not a store. that's a website with chat awkwardly grafted on. what if you just... removed the website part and kept the conversation? that's @AgenticCart. one AI. sells the whole catalog. real merchant control. Your own hosted chatpage. I started building this because existing solutions felt wrong…
"I don't have time to build a side project."
you watched 14 hours of netflix last week.
you scrolled tiktok for 2 hours yesterday.
you spent your saturday in bed on your phone.
you have time. you have a priority problem.
(if this made you defensive, that's the post working.)
The shift is already happening. Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft - all building agentic commerce rails.
The merchants who set up a conversational frontend now will be the ones those agents find first.
Nobody is ready for this.
In the last 30 days:
@stripe shipped 288 agentic commerce launches
@awscloud released Bedrock AgentCore Payments
@GoogleAI AI Mode + Gemini went live with Stripe’s agent checkout
@Visa & @Mastercard rebuilt tokenization for AI buyers
@jpmorgan: 25% of US online sales will run through agents by 2030.
That’s $1 trillion.
68% of consumers already use an AI tool to shop. Most merchants are still optimizing for Google. They’re not building stores anymore. They’re building museums.
Dubrovnik is insanely crowded… but honestly, I get it. The stone streets, the walls, the sea… it almost doesn’t look real. Hard to complain about the crowds when the place looks like this.
A friend is using @AgenticCart and pulling in e-commerce leads like never before. Feels like we’re at the beginning of a massive shift in how people shop online. Building this is something special.
Shopping behavior changed when ChatGPT launched. People now describe what they want - „a waterproof running jacket under $150” - instead of clicking through categories and filter panels.
Most stores still ask them to click. That gap is where the next decade of e-commerce gets won.
