Page 11: Research news on Agentic consumer AI
Agentic consumer AI denotes autonomous and semi-autonomous artificial intelligence systems embedded in consumer and workplace contexts to perceive goals, plan actions, and execute tasks on users’ behalf.

They support decision-making, personalization, pricing, customer engagement, and creative collaboration, increasingly coordinating across software, robotics, and payment infrastructures to manage everyday activities with minimal direct user control.
