Agentified shopping: Where AI delivers before you even ask
HighlightsIn a future driven by Agentic Artificial Intelligence, shopping becomes a seamless and hyper-personalized experience where AI agents like Pulse anticipate needs, curate options, and facilitate purchases without the need for user browsing. With approximately 70% of retailers adopting AI agents for eCommerce, customer satisfaction has reportedly increased by 25%, showcasing the effectiveness of automation in reducing decision fatigue and enhancing the shopping experience. The evolution towards fully autonomous commerce suggests that consumers will eventually be able to delegate all shopping tasks to AI agents, allowing them to focus on meaningful aspects of life while their AI takes care of the rest. By Ranjith Boyanapalli Ever since AI entered our lives, we've imagined a day when machines would handle our daily chores. That day isn't far off. Thanks to the rapid rise of Agentic AI , one area on the brink of radical transformation is shopping. It's 2030, and the clunky search bars and endless scrolling of the past are gone. In their place: seamless, hyper-personalized shopping journeys orchestrated by AI. It's a world where shopping isn't a task — it's an invisible, delightful extension of your lifestyle. Your AI agent , a tireless digital companion, knows your habits, preferences, even your mood, sometimes better than your closest friend. From health-aware grocery lists to mood-responsive retail therapy, this is the new face of commerce. Let's take a walk through a day in this 'agentified' future. Effortless Discovery and Inspiration It's 7:30 AM, and you've just finished your morning run. Your wearable syncs with your AI agent, let's call it 'Pulse'. It logs your calorie burn and hydration levels. On noticing low electrolytes, Pulse instantly reorders citrus-flavored, sugar-free tablets — your favorite. It also flags that your running shoes have hit 500 miles and suggests three eco-friendly replacements, complete with AR try-ons. You tap to pick a coral pair, and done. Such effortless discovery with no browsing and no decision paralysis is the future. Your AI agent anticipates your needs and curates ideal options before you even ask. According to a TechRadar report, approximately 34% of consumers are willing to allow AI tools to make purchases on their behalf, with 38% of consumers appreciating AI's ability to provide personalized product suggestions. Smarter Decisions, Frictionless Payments and Zero Stress If you're planning your anniversary, Pulse, synced to your calendar, recalls last year's gift — a smartwatch for your partner. This year, it suggests a premium upgrade: a luxury titanium smartwatch edition, custom-engraved with your anniversary date. It pairs it with a handcrafted leather strap, and even pre-orders a matching travel case. To top it off, it books a private dining experience at your favorite Italian place — complete with a curated wine pairing and live music. It even applies loyalty points for a 10% discount. Now this is shopping with intelligence. Your AI filters out noise, analyzes past behavior, and recommends context-aware options. A study found that 78% of Indian consumers feel overwhelmed by online choices, and agentic AI changes that. With automation and healthy analysis of past data by agentic AI, you can plan your special occasions in minutes. Now, you're browsing Instagram and like a post featuring sustainable sneakers. Pulse detects the interest, scans inventory across platforms, price-matches, and finds a 15% flash-sale offer. 'Found them for ₹8,999 — order now?' it pings. You nod, and checkout is done in one tap. Pulse schedules delivery on your next work-from-home day. This is what frictionless commerce looks like. With this, e-commerce transactions will be completely automated, reducing cart abandonment. No login forms, no coupon hunts, just seamless action. Post-Purchase Support Combined with Emotional Intelligence The next day, your sneakers are en route. Pulse reroutes delivery to your neighbor when it sees you're in a meeting. It notices your water bottle's warranty is expiring, so it bundles in a replacement filter with eco-cleaning tablets. And with your Goa trip coming up, Pulse curates a travel kit — SPF 50 sunscreen, linen shirts, sunglasses — based on weather forecasts and your shared packing history. This is anticipatory commerce, where your AI doesn't stop at purchase, it stays with you, ready for what's next. Evening hits. You're tense after a tough meeting. Pulse detects elevated stress via your smartwatch and your lo-fi playlist. It suggests a cozy hoodie, dark chocolate, and a movie night. Smart lights dim. A calming vibe sets in. AI now understands more than transactions — it understands you. This is emotional commerce. Seamless Household Synchronisation Household-level AI coordination is a game-changer. Back home, Pulse syncs with your partner and kids' wearables to build a unified grocery list: almond milk for them and mangoes for the kids. It avoids duplicates, applies the best offers, and schedules an eco-delivery slot. Your day winds down. Pulse pings: 'Time for a phone upgrade?' It shortlists three models under ₹50K, compares specs, negotiates a 12% discount, and includes a biodegradable case. You approve. Ordered. This is fully autonomous commerce. With 70% of retailers implementing AI agents for eCommerce , reporting a 25% increase in customer satisfaction and a 20% rise in conversion rates, showcases that the future of agentic AI is more promising. A Limitless Future We're moving towards a future of fully autonomous commerce, a system where shopping no longer interrupts your life, but flows within it. And the more this technology matures, the more invisible it becomes. No need to browse. No need to plan. You live. Your AI takes care of the rest through another Agent. Yes, Agent-to-Agent commerce is the future. It means you simply message your AI agent to 'plan a family vacation,' and it would handle everything — flights, hotels, dining, and tours — by coordinating, negotiating and closing deals with other agents to find you the best options within your budget and preferences. We're not fully there yet. But the foundations are being laid — smart assistants, predictive analytics, voice commerce, wearable integrations. We're building the scaffolding for a world where shopping is no longer an act of doing, but an act of being known. And that's the real promise of agentified shopping : not more control, but more freedom. Freedom from decision fatigue, from missed deals, from everyday mental clutter. Freedom to focus on what truly matters — while your agent takes care of the rest. The question isn't whether this future will happen. The question is: How ready are you to hand over the wheel and simply live? (The author is the founder and chief executive officer of

Lilly's obesity drug Mounjaro's sales rise 60% in India amid rising demand
Eli Lilly & Co. increased sales of weight-loss and diabetes drug Mounjaro 60 per cent in India in May from April in its second full month of being on offer in the South Asian country, which has the world's third-highest number of obese people. The US drugmaker sold ₹12.6 crore ($1.5 million) worth of the injections last month, according to market analysis firm Pharmarack Technologies. Sales of its 5 mg version more than doubled to about ₹7.5 crore, while revenue from the 2.5 mg shot was ₹5.1 crore. 'The patient number may have actually doubled' in May from April, Pharmarack Vice President Sheetal Sapale told Bloomberg News. The demand is gradually rising and should continue, she said. Newer patients are being introduced with the lower dose and upgraded to 5 mg injections after four weeks, according to Sapale. The increase in sales reflects the need for anti-obesity solutions in the vast market in India, where Danish rival Novo Nordisk A/S is also expected to launch soon. The country's generic drugmakers are awaiting the expiration of some patents from next year to unleash a flurry of copycat treatments. On Tuesday, Biocon Ltd. received approval for Liraglutide, a generic version of Novo Nordisk's type-2 diabetes and anti-obesity drug Victoza. India has about 100 million people living with diabetes and obesity each, Eli Lilly said earlier this year.
