Page 2: 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. These systems combine generative AI with persistent personal assistants, shopping and travel agents, in-cabin automotive companions, and integrated services in devices such as smart speakers and phones. 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.
