Episode notes
Google quietly flipped the switch on a new AI shopping protocol and it changes everything. UCP lets agents handle the entire shopping process: discovery, checkout, support... all in one place. No apps, no friction. Just talk to AI and buy.
We’ll talk about:
- What Google’s UCP is and why Shopify, Walmart, and Etsy joined
- How real-time discounts now show up inside AI chats
- Why Shopify dropped its own AI integration on the same day with Microsoft
- What this means for anyone building tools for e‑commerce, support, or agent workflows
