These are now the funnest ways to shop. I know this is mainly in tech crowds but after the last few weeks of playing with buying through agents exclusively, it’s only a matter of time before agentic discovery and purchasing takes off more broadly.

Instinct + Shopify 35% of our users use Instinct for personal shopping. Today, we’re partnering with @Shopify to bring product discovery, checkout and order updates into one conversation. Shopping is a creative and personal experience. Your Instinct knows your sizes, the brands you like, and what you’ve bought, kept or returned. When you ask for something, Instinct understands the details that matter, from who a gift is for to when you need it to arrive. Instinct can now search Shopify’s merchant network for products, and find live information on prices, sizes and availability. When you’re ready to buy, Instinct sets up your order with the store so you can check out with Shop Pay using your saved payment and shipping details. Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift, researching big-ticket items, or restocking household essentials, the new experience helps you: - Discover and compare products across brands, with up-to-date pricing and availability - Check out with Shop Pay using your saved details - Receive price-drop and back-in-stock notifications for your favorite items - Stay on top of delivery updates and return-window reminders - Access automatic discounts and promo codes tied to your Shop account
