   This week’s podcast is about agentic commerce. Who is winning and losing. And how to think about it. I have 6 basic points. See below.

   Here is the link to Agentic Org Now.

   Here is the link to our Tech Tours.

   My 5 points are:

   1. Grok bot and AI Assistants are the iPhone moment.
   2. Buyers are delegating, and that changes everything downstream.
   3. Lots of brands will lose humans as customers. Attention, data and brand equity all fall. Selling to agents will be necessary.
   4. Brands win where humans don’t delegate. That's your core.
   5. Agents weaken marketplaces like Amazon. But strengthen platforms like YouTube and Payment.
   6. Alibaba is ahead of Amazon in most agentic commerce capabilities.

   Here are the mentioned articles:

   • Amazon vs Alibaba: Who’s Winning in Agentic Commerce? (1 of 2) (Tech Strategy)
   • Alibaba vs. Amazon in Agentic Commerce: Every Merchant Gets an AI Team (Tech Strategy) (2 of 2) (Tech Strategy)

   This week’s podcast is about my recent tour to Hangzhou and Alibaba headquarters. And my 3 take-aways from the epicenter of ecommerce meets AI and agents.

   Here is the link to TechMoat Consulting.

   Here is the link to our Tech Tours.

   My big take-aways are:

   1. Agentic Commerce Is Now an Arms Race
      1. Everyone needs to upgrade their capabilities with AI and agents to stay competitive.
      2. And then repeat.
      3. And repeat again.
   2. Human KOLs and Content Creators Have Already Peaked.
      1. Livestreaming is already shifting to digital avatars. Other content creator types will follow.
      2. The future of content creation and KOLs is mostly not-human.
   3. Digital Livestreamers Have Arrived in Ecommerce. Entertainment and Thought Leaders Are Next.

   My playbook for human content creators / KOLs is:

   • Focus on topics where being human matters:
     • Taste and curation. What wine is better vs. what laptop is better.
     • Irreversible and/or critical decisions. Situations where you can't do it over and judgement matters.
     • There is an advancing frontier of knowledge. There is no existing online database of expertise. Think new AI tools, not history.
   • Use a multi-format approach:
     • Focus on building personal relationships. Such as in communities and events. Both online and offline.
     • Make your content super authentic. Ideally videos instead of text or voice. Make it clear this is a human.
     • Deploy an avatar army. Your solo content is not enough. You need an army creating content 24/7. This can be clones of yourself or similar personas.

   The mentioned photos are here.

    This week’s podcast is about Shein, which is about to go public.

    It has had a lot of success as a specialist in cross-border fashion ecommerce. But it needs to move beyond this going forward.

    You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

    Here is the link to TechMoat Consulting.

    Here is the link to our Tech Tours.

    Here are my 5 questions (thus far) for assessing the viability of a specialty ecommerce company.

    1. Is the company sufficiently differentiated in the user experience?
    2. Can the company compete and/or differentiate in logistics or infrastructure without ongoing spending?
    3. Does the company have a strong competitive advantage in a circumscribed market? No
    4. Is there a clear path to significant operational cash flow?
    5. Has the company avoided markets and situations that are attractive or strategic for the major ecommerce companies?

    I spoke about this in a past podcast.

    • Early Etsy Was a Great Example of Specialty Ecommerce. But Things Are Changing. (1 of 3) (Tech Strategy)

    The future of Shein depends on what business you think Shein is in:

    1. Connecting China manufacturers with foreign consumers.
       1. China manufacturing gets you low cost and big variety.
    2. Ultra fast fashion.
       1. This is about speed and flexible production. Test, learn, restock.
    3. Digital-first fashion. This is a compelling future position.

    This week’s podcast is about AgiBot, a fast rising full stack robot business in Shanghai.

    You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

    Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.

    Here is the link to our Tech Tours.

    Why I like AgiBot:

    • Has rapidly expanded into a full suite of robots
    • Going after all the humanoid industries and use cases
    • Building an almost full AI tech stack. Everything except chips.
    • Founded and run by Huawei executives. Moving very fast.
    • A good strategy. It appears similar to Huawei.
      • AgiBot’s strategy is to flood the market with affordable humanoids while growing the entire ecosystem with open datasets and open models. They are scaling fast in manufacturing, usage and training.
      • They mass-produce the hardware at scale so thousands of identical robots can collect real-world data in homes and factories.
      • At the same time they open-source the entire stack: the million-trajectory AgiBot World dataset, the GO-1 foundation model, the training tools, and the GenieSim simulation twin—so researchers and developers can build skills and applications on top without paying anything.
      • AgiBot’s affordable humanoid platform as infrastructure. Hardware sales and ecosystem services become the revenue, not software licensing.
    • Now in the top 1-2 in humanoid sales.
      • AgiBot shipped approximately 5168 humanoid units in 2025.

    This week’s podcast is about the emergence of agentic commerce. This is a big change to traditional omnichannel.

    Plus, there is a bit more of a rant about the recent Anthropic and OpenAI ban. My prediction is the future of AI outside of the USA is now:

    • Open source, downloadable and non-embargoable models plus
    • Low cost, tech agnostic AI architecture

    Which probably means China. And probably Nvidia.

    You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

    Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.

    Here is the link to our Tech Tours.

    The 5 steps to get into agentic commerce are:

    1. Start building a council of LLMs.
       1. This means a couple of frontier models and lots of open source (a symphony of models). The net is a composable model with a router than directs all queries.
    2. The key AI and agents need to be able to code. That is their superpower.
    3. Get to the tipping point where an end-to-end workflow has agents and AI, with no humans in the loop. Then you can scale up to 100-200 agents.
       1. This means fixing the quality problems before you scale.
    4. Get to the tipping point where agents create agents (an agent factory). This gest you to thousands of agents.
       1. This includes onboarding, training and oversight of agents.
    5. Centralize enterprise data and context for AI and agents.
       1. You need updated centralized data that your enterprise AI can access.
       2. A lot of data is born somewhere else. Salesforce. System of record. ERP systems.

    • Step 1: Identify a huge TAM. Ideally over $1T. Ideally with a weak incumbent.
    • Step 2: Solve the problem with world-class engineering.
    • Step 3: Run an innovation marathon focused on rapid improvements and cost reductions. Vertical integration and repeatability are key to this.
