My guest on this episode of the podcast is Rishabh Jain, the CEO and co-founder of FERMÀT Commerce, an eCommerce advertising optimization platform. Rishabh most recently joined the podcast in June for an episode of the MDM Mailbag.

In this episode, Rishabh and I discuss the impact of chatbot discovery on eCommerce sales, including over Black Friday. Among other things, we speak about:

• The current state of AI search with respect to eCommerce, and how are chatbots are influencing eCommerce purchases now
• The likely trajectory of "agentic commerce" over the next 12-18 months
• How eCommerce retailers are adapting to chatbots and other forms of AI search
• ChatGPT's Instant Checkout and whether that reflects a durable business opportunity for OpenAI or other companies
