Swap Commerceは、スクロールによる発見機能と会話型インタラクションを融合させたAI搭載のショッピングプラットフォームである、世界初の「AIエージェント型ストアフロント」を発表した。この発表は、シャンティイ城で開催されたVogue Business Global Summitにて行われた。Simkhai、Retrofit、Studio Nicholson、Manors Golfなど、20以上のブランドがこの立ち上げに参画している。
この新しいストアフロントは、ユーザーに対して2つの主要な体験を提供する。ディスカバリーモードでは、ソーシャルメディアプラットフォームと同様に、利用者は製品フィードをスクロールして商品を閲覧できる。会話モードでは、ブランドの販売員による接客を模倣し、AIエージェントと直接音声やテキストで対話することで、旅行用アイテムや日常の必需品など、特定の用途に合わせた商品を検索することが可能だ。
