Quiet Friday: no new consumer AI agents, and a quiet week overall

Quiet day for consumer AI agents: we found no new consumer-facing launches in our 11 markets over the last 48 hours.

Follow-ups

We checked the eight launches from the past 45 days that haven't yet drawn hands-on coverage (including Gap Inc.'s Old Navy and Banana Republic shopping agents, TikTok's Shopping Assistant, and the Wayfair and Angi ChatGPT agents). None has picked up independent reviews yet; we'll keep watching.

Platform checks (IBM watsonx, ILLUIN, Intercom, Meta Llama, Microsoft Azure OpenAI) turned up no new adoption or reception news worth flagging.

This Week

No new launches were added and no new reception findings were recorded between Monday, Oct 26 and today. We'll be back Monday.
