Listen "The Future of Shopping Is Here— And It’s AI "

Episode Synopsis

What if you never had to click “Buy Now” again—because your AI did the shopping for you? Today, Sammi breaks down the partnership between OpenAI and Stripe that could rewrite the rules of e-commerce.

With the launch of the Agentic Commerce Protocol, AI can now recommend, purchase, and process transactions entirely within ChatGPT—no links, no websites, no Google searches. Sammi explains how this changes everything: from how we shop to how companies monetize, and why this might be the biggest existential threat Google has ever faced.
