Retail in the Age of Agentic AI
While every retail business discussion seems to gravitate toward questions about agentic solutions, the biggest challenge in commerce remains as pressing as ever: selling more goods cost effectively every year. This presentation by Forrester’s Sucharita Kodali will be a data-driven look at what is actually working for the retail industry with respect to agentic solutions, myths and truths about agentic commerce and innovation in marketplaces and retail media that are empowering merchants to generate profitable growth.
