How AI agents shop for a furniture store
| Customer intent | What the agent needs | Action | Typical site today | Agent compatibility | Revenue impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Find a specific product | Structured catalog + attributes | Discover | Unstructured product pages | Partial | Product invisible to the agent |
| Compare price & specs | Price, dimensions, variants | Compare | Images + prose | Low | Agent recommends a clearer competitor |
| Confirm it's in stock | Real-time inventory | Check | None | None | Agent skips uncertain stock |
| Buy / reserve it | Cart / checkout endpoint | Buy | Human checkout | Low | The agentic sale goes elsewhere |
| Arrange delivery/pickup | Fulfillment options | Schedule | Checkout step | Partial | Abandoned when unclear |
