# Getting Started with AI Agent Commerce

# Getting Started with AI Agent Commerce

> "How your products get discovered and recommended by AI agents"

This book is for e-commerce operators, brand owners, independent store owners, and DTC founders. No coding required. Every concept is explained in plain language with everyday analogies.

## What This Book Covers

In 2026, a growing number of consumers no longer search for products themselves. Instead, they ask AI assistants to do it for them. A shopper tells ChatGPT, "Find me a pair of waterproof running shoes under \$120," and the AI searches, compares, recommends, and even places the order.

The question is: Can AI assistants find your products? Do they trust your store? Do they know how to help a customer buy from you?

This book answers those three questions.
