AI Agents

Monday, the aisle and the open POs. An agent ranks reorder, wait, stockout, or excess. Sample cover at 5 days is a fixture. A buyer still sends the PO.

Merch features last week's revenue heroes. ERP cost is empty. Fill the margin contract first — unknown if cost is missing, not a ranked profit list. The ~$791/mo platform cost floor at 50,000 sessions is planning cost, not margin found.

Beautiful sales tile while advertised ATP=0 still spends. Named feeds. Rank by blast radius. Cap the now-list at seven. The tower cannot write. Do not start a fleet.

Checkout worked, then payments, stock, or fraud said no. An agent investigates; refunds and cancels wait for a person. Planning silhouette ~$791/mo at 50K sessions — not a client refund KPI.

Merch Slack says take 10% off a MAP SKU. This week: Maintain, Increase, Decrease, Promote, Bundle, or Clear — no updatePrice. Baymard 70.22% is checkout abandonment, not pricing ROI.

A missing care line or a $0 price is a chargeback, not a content nicety. The agent drafts. A merchandiser publishes. Run 10 products this week. We are not publishing a completeness score.

Before a copilot picks a winner, your SKUs have to be comparable. Baymard still puts cart abandonment at 70.22%. This is a merchant audit — missing fields, mixed units, lying facets — not a strategic keynote.

SEO is not dead — McKinsey and EuroCommerce (June 2026) say 61% of European consumers already use AI for product discovery. Run both paths: classic feeds plus honest structured facts agents can retrieve.

When a shopper asks your copilot to compare two tees, it reads one object per SKU — not the PDP HTML. Baymard still puts cart abandonment at 70.22%. The passport is the shopping-agent read slice, not the full PIM contract.

Shopper asks for a wide waterproof shoe in stock. Rank on fit and stock, not "people also bought." Cart abandonment sits at 70.22% — wrong recs do not fix it.

Packaging crush shows up in reviews before it shows up in tickets. A 30-day ops brief names themes and owners. Public replies wait for a person. We are not publishing a star-rating lift.

Monday, the unsigned PO packet. An agent drafts qty, vendor, and need-by. Qty over 2× 28-day velocity stays HITL. A buyer still sends it.
