Daily Decode
Summary
PwC is proud to sponsor the Daily Decode at SXSW. <p> The Daily Decode is a four-part series hosted in the Innovation Clubhouse, recapping the insights learned and key trends discussed during SXSW. <p> Daily Decode - Agentic Commerce: When AI Becomes the New Storefront <p> AI assistants are already changing how people find, compare, and choose products. Instead of browsing pages or typing keywords, consumers are increasingly asking AI what to buy. As this shift accelerates, the balance of power between brands, platforms, and algorithms is changing. Join Stephanie Mehta, CEO and Chief Content Officer of Mansueto Ventures, as she moderates a conversation between Eric Shea, PwC’s US Commerce Leader, and Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur, investor, and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, as they explore the rise of agentic commerce and what it means for brands competing in an AI-influenced marketplace. Together they will unpack how discovery is evolving, why brand and loyalty may matter more than ever, and how the coming wave of personal agents could redefine how consumers shop.
