Agentic Commerce's Real Bottleneck Isn't the Technology

🎙️Agentic Commerce's Real Bottleneck Isn't the Technology — with Jas Shah

A year and a half ago, agentic commerce was going to change everything. Type a prompt, get a package. So what actually happened?

In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Theodora Lau sits down with fintech product expert Jas Shah for a clear-eyed look at where agentic commerce really stands. The technology has mobilized, but as Jas puts it, becoming ready is not the same as being ready. Disputes, chargebacks, and fraud liability haven't been solved for a world where transaction volume could rise exponentially. And consumer behavior hasn't moved at all: they will use AI for discovery, then still tap Apple Pay to buy.

The conversation turns on a single test: utility. Where an agent removes genuine administrative burden, it wins. Where the person actually wants to choose, it doesn't. Which is why Jas argues the real early adopters are businesses: inventory systems, product codes, predictable repeat purchasing, and a procurement decision that comes down to price and delivery speed.

Ready for a bold bet for 2030? It involves a wallet …

💬Hot take: "The tech is becoming ready, but I don't think anyone can say it's ready yet."
