At this point, AI is unavoidable in day-to-day life and according to new data from the cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, 72% of consumers have used AI and a third of them rely on it for everyday tasks like creating shopping lists and budgeting. You may not even think that you’ve relied on an AI for shopping but if you’ve used a virtual “try-on” feature, or a shopping agent on a website, you’ve used AI.
As we approach Black Friday, plenty of shoppers are using AI as a deal hunter or for price comparisons. While AI is more than capable of handling those tasks, plenty of people use it for more complex ones too. If delegated a command, agentic AI can perform a shopping chore for you from start to finish. For instance, you could tell it to watch the prices for a new iPad and tell it to purchase one for you automatically when the price falls into a particularly good range.
