AI has collapsed the cost of building products, but not the cost of knowing what to build.
- The old loop: spec, scope, build
- The new loop: build, play, design, ship
Prototypes are cheap. Great products still require taste, judgment, and a clear understanding of what users actually need.

Remarkable statistic:
Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.

Look at those faces. 😄🧡💙
There’s a special kind of happiness that only soccer can bring — the smiles, the energy, the friendships, and that excitement of stepping onto the field and being part of a team.

Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas

A very clear-eyed analysis of where AI-mediated commerce actually stands right now, based on early Shopify data. The part that I would claim is most interesting is not the headline conversion numbers, although those are striking. It's the journey compression pattern.
More than half of AI-referred sessions start directly on a product detail page, compared to 20% for organic search. Agents are essentially speedrunning the discovery and consideration phases inside conversations.

So many people don’t understand what pixels really do. When someone asks for a list and identities of your customers, promising “optimization,” and then sends no traffic in return, you know which side they’re on.

AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future.
To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey.
And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.
