What is agentic commerce?

Agentic commerce is the infrastructure letting AI agents handle buying, services, and tasks online with their own identity, trust, and payments — built for machines on top of human e-commerce.

Skyfire competitors in AI payments?

Few direct rivals yet — players like Stripe experiment, but Skyfire focuses purely on agent trust and identity. Watch for Big Tech moves from Google or xAI.

When will AI agents dominate shopping?

Not tomorrow — 3-5 years for pilots, 10 for mass adoption, per market dynamics. Regulatory hurdles slow it, but $30T e-comm upside accelerates.
