#205: How AI will change shopping by a16z, deals of the week... and much more!
Weekly writing about what is happening in LatAm tech. By day, I lead the business development team at Itau Unibanco. By night, I am reading and learning about technology in general (now, with a focus on AI). During the weekends, I’m writing the LatAm Tech Weekly.

Happy Sunday!
This week I’m keeping it short and simple. If you follow me on Instagram (@juliadeluca.tech), you probably know why. But here’s the thing: sometimes you just have to show up and do what needs to be done. At the end of the day, that’s what resilience and persistence are really about.
Please bare with me if there are any slight mistakes :)

A great listen this week was a16z’s podcast on how AI will reshape commerce (with Alex Rampell & Justine Moore). Here’s the key takeaways:
AI will sit in the cart. The near-term sweet spot isn’t impulse buys or once-in-a-lifetime purchases—it’s the big “middle” of commerce: things you research a bit and buy often. Expect AI agents to watch prices, stack coupons/cashback, pick the best card, and auto-purchase when conditions hit your rules.
Attribution gets messy. Last-click models (think coupon extensions) were already misleading; AI assistants will further blur who “caused” a sale. Brands and marketplaces will need multi-touch, privacy-safe attribution and new affiliate economics.
Google loses “free,” keeps “$.” Informational queries drift to LLMs, but commercial queries (the revenue engine) still favor search—for now. As AI integrates real inventory/checkout, that edge erodes.
The web is “crapflooded.” SEO’d listicles and affiliate spam make AI summarization less useful. Trust shifts toward video reviews and Costco-style “curated trust” models where the platform’s business model aligns with the buyer.
SKU vs. no-SKU matters. For products with clear identifiers (UPC/SKU), agents can fully optimize price + fulfillment. For ambiguous items (furniture, fashion), AI helps research but purchase flows may stay human-guided longer.
Dynamic pricing hits limits. Personalized pricing is economically tempting but risks regulation and customer backlash.
Why e-commerce isn’t bigger (yet). Immediacy and “shopping as experience” keep offline relevant. AI narrows the gap by removing research and deal-hunting friction.
New startup wedges:
Consumer agents that deliver “pay less with zero effort.”
Vertical expert copilots (bikes, laptops, beauty) fine-tuned on real conversations and reviews.
Merchant infrastructure for agentic commerce (agent-readable catalogs, payments/authorization for bots, bot-friendly UX, anti-abuse).
Operator checklist (actionable):
Make catalogs/availability machine-readable (structured data, clean SKUs).
Build agent APIs (pricing, inventory, checkout tokens).
Rethink attribution & affiliate contracts for AI-initiated purchases.
Invest in trusted content (video, testing) that agents can parse and users believe.
Pilot rules-based auto-buy for replenishment SKUs with clear guardrails.
Investor lens: Look for agent-native shopping layers, attribution/measurement platforms for AI journeys, and merchant tools that make sites “bot-operable.” Platforms that earn trust, not just traffic, win margin over time.
That’s the gist: AI won’t reinvent impulse or one-off luxury overnight—but it will quietly capture the vast middle of commerce by turning “I’ll buy when it’s right” into an automated workflow.
