Shopify opens its catalog to shoppers' own AI agents
Shopify announced Tuesday that shoppers can set up their AI agents (software that browses and buys on a person's behalf) to purchase from its catalog of over a billion listings. In September, this kind of buying came through a Meta partnership for its Muse agent. Now any agent can do it without a partnership.
