Forget links, agents are gonna just go upstream to the source and buy it for you. I think it will change the game because intent will be super high and conversion will go through the roof.

Yeah I’m gonna give an AI agent my credit card and complete autonomy with my finances so it can hallucinate me a new car. I love getting findommed.
Look, the car shop might not bill you at all because their A.I agent will hallucinate the purchase, so I don't see why you're so pessimistic about agents.
It can still give you an overview with a few choices and a link to the prepared checkout page, and you enter your CC details yourself.
That’s basically what any halfway decent e-commerce site is today
Feels like this hope is in the same vein as Amazon Dash and then the expectation that people would buy shit with voice assistants like Alexa.
