What can a shopping agent do today?
It can finish purchases in the apps a person already has, from adding items to the cart to reaching checkout. Common uses include:
Groceries and household items
Food delivery
Rides and travel bookings
Who approves the payment?
The person does. In the AGI app there is always a confirmation step before anything financial goes through, and the agent acts only on tasks the person starts. Touching the screen pauses it. The other controls people ask about are covered under phone use.
Can agentic commerce start on a wearable?
Yes. Most smart glasses have no shopping apps of their own, so the purchase happens in the apps on the paired phone. AGI, Inc. showed this across smart glasses, a phone and a watch at Snapdragon Summit 2026, and visitors tried agentic commerce on smart glasses at its San Francisco pop-up store in October 2026.
FAQ
Does a shopping agent pay without asking?
It should not. In the AGI app there is always a confirmation step before anything financial goes through, so the person approves every payment. The agent also acts only on tasks the person starts.
Do stores need to build an integration for agentic commerce?
Not when the agent works through the app's interface. AGI's agent shops in the apps a person already has installed, so a store does not need to add an API or a special integration first.
Can I shop with an agent from smart glasses?
AGI, Inc. has shown it. At Snapdragon Summit 2026, a purchase ran across smart glasses, a phone and a watch, with the order placed in apps on the paired phone.
