The Algorithmic Consumer

As the digital retail ecosystem moves beyond human-centric visual shopping, it enters the era of "Agentic Commerce" a paradigm where autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents execute multi-constraint transactions on behalf of consumers. While human decision-making is frequently governed by visual heuristics and brand prestige, agentic entities evaluate product value through the objective lens of structured metadata and algorithmic parity. This study employs an automated computational framework to extract and analyse a longitudinal dataset of 2,000 consumer electronic devices from major Indian retail aggregators.
