AI shopping agents.

Agentic commerce
What is an AI shopping agent?
An AI shopping agent acts for a buyer. It takes a request in plain language, searches and compares products across stores, and in some cases places the order. That separates it from a store's own chatbot, which works for the merchant, and from a coupon extension, which applies codes but does not search or buy.
Some are standalone products. Others are shopping features inside general assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. Where an agent completes checkout, it passes the order and payment to the merchant, either through the merchant's own checkout or through a protocol built for agents, such as ACP or UCP.

- What's Agentic Commerce? The End of the Traditional Search JourneyAgentic commerce breaks the search-and-click loop. How autonomous AI agents handle discovery, evaluation, and transactions, and what the ACP protocol means for merchants.
- Agentic Commerce Rails Are Shipping: What Changed in 2026Google, Adyen and others shipped agentic commerce rails in 2026. What the releases require of merchants, and how the competing protocol families differ.
- Agentic Commerce Protocols: How the Competing Standards DifferAgentic commerce protocols differ on who holds the payment credential and who owns the order. Compare the four axes, and see which commitments reverse.
- Agentic Commerce Is Not Solved: Where It Still BreaksThe real agentic commerce limitations: returns, disputes, order accuracy and no settled protocol. What a merchant can fix now, and what is still a bet.
How this directory works
Where listings come from
Candidates come from vendor sites, published lists of shopping agents and submissions. A candidate is a lead; nothing is listed from it alone.
How each one is checked
We load the product's website, read the product page, and search the web and news for launches, shutdowns, renames and checkout announcements. A language model extracts the facts from that evidence only, and the sources are kept for review. Last full check: Sept 2026.
What gets listed
Products that act for a shopper: dedicated shopping agents, named shopping features inside AI assistants and AI browsers, and retailers' own shopping assistants. They must be live, not only announced or discontinued.
What the facts mean
Checkout, autonomy and payment are recorded only where the vendor or dated reporting states them. “Not stated” means the sources checked do not say. We do not test the agents, and nothing here is a rating.
What is not listed
Of 20 products reviewed, 15 are listed.
- Operator: discontinued.
- Macaron, Manus: general AI agents with no documented shopping feature.
- Karma, PayPal Honey: coupon, cashback or price-tracking tools with no agent.
Corrections
Vendors can claim a listing to correct it, or write to hello@ecommerceguide.com.
