New AI system tracks e-commerce competition via "Agentic Share-of-Search"

Researchers have developed a multi-agent AI system called Agentic Share-of-Search (ASoS) designed to help e-commerce sellers monitor and understand their competitive landscape in the era of AI shopping assistants. The system uses query agents to gather data from various AI platforms and a diagnostic agent to identify root causes for changes in visibility. A feasibility study involving 100 trials indicated that the system could successfully recover ablated signals in a significant portion of cases, suggesting its potential for competitive decision-making.
