AI Agents Are Taking on More Online Tasks In a report released on May 8, Foresight Ventures reported that AI agents are moving beyond simple chat tools and starting to complete real-world tasks. The report describes “agentic commerce” as a system where AI agents can search for products, compare prices, make payments, and complete transactions on behalf of users. This shift is also changing how companies design software. In the past, software was mainly built for human users. Now, firms are increasingly creating systems that AI agents can directly read and interact with. Foresight Ventures said AI agents depend more on APIs, permissions, and structured data than on visual interfaces or app layouts. Major Companies Expand AI Commerce Infrastructure In
