The goal is independent overnight restocking by early 2027 with the store closed.

But this is a real use case. This can provide actual utility to people and healthily, you know, maybe even lower grocery prices as the cost of operation.

Even when directed explicitly to go get the cheapest item, the agents rooted around in your email inbox, identified that you could indeed afford more than the cheapest option, and brought back a more expensive option.

But it raises all sorts of thorny questions about who's going to be holding the bag if your agent buys something you didn't want it to buy. For example, Walmart is going to say no. But Muse is also going to say no.

The biggest barrier to scaling agentic commerce, particularly the agent-delegated model, is building sufficient trust among buyers and sellers.

While consumer shopping receives a lot of attention in this area, business-to-business (B2B) purchases may be especially well suited for agentic commerce.
