"The shift from traditional e-commerce to AI-driven shopping is creating a fundamental infrastructure problem: while Google, Amazon, and ChatGPT command the agentic commerce channel through proprietary product data, independent developers and merchants lack access to the universal product intelligence needed to build competitive AI shopping experiences. McKinsey projects that agentic commerce could generate $1T in US retail revenue by the end of the decade, yet the infrastructure to support this market remains concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants."
"Channel3 is building the neutral layer that changes this dynamic, providing developers and merchants with a real-time, universal product database covering 50 million products across tens of thousands of brands. Using multimodal AI to match products across merchants, recognize variants, and extract rich attributes, Channel3 enables any developer to build AI shopping experiences with built-in affiliate monetization, while giving merchants frictionless distribution into this emerging channel."
Agentic commerce is shifting shopping toward AI-driven, conversational experiences concentrated around proprietary product data controlled by major tech platforms, creating a competitive barrier for independent developers and merchants. McKinsey projects agentic commerce could generate $1 trillion in US retail revenue by 2030, but the underlying product intelligence infrastructure remains centralized. Channel3 provides a neutral, real-time universal product database spanning 50 million products and tens of thousands of brands. Channel3 uses multimodal AI to match products across merchants, recognize variants, and extract rich attributes, enabling developers to build AI stylists, interior design tools, and shopping assistants with built-in affiliate monetization and frictionless merchant distribution.
