Shoppers will choose retailers over third-party AI platforms and Amazon is validating this shift.

Are retailers ready?

Consumers will move toward vertical AI agents, specialists that truly understand their domain. In fashion, that means agents that know your preferences, your history, your fit, your culture, and your local trends. “Horizontal agents don’t know your shopping history, they get a lot of product details and pricing wrong,’ said Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon.”

Now imagine a future where every shopper has a personal agent acting on their behalf.

What will stores look like in that world?
What will be the role of retailers?
Who owns the customer relationship?

The retailers that win won’t just sell products. They will power intelligence, trust, and personalization at the source.

The only way to predict the future is to build it.🚀https://lnkd.in/d3QQcyz5
