When Commerce AI Outpaces Integration, Outcomes Falter
Enterprise AI investment in commerce is at an all-time high, yet outcomes remain wildly inconsistent. That gap isn't accidental; it's the predictable result of layering point solutions that were never built to work together. Each tool performs well in isolation, but the system leaks intent at every handoff. The fix isn't another add-on. It's architectural coherence. Brands that build that connective tissue now will compound their advantages. Those that don't will watch agentic commerce expose every fracture. The window to act is closing.
