New benchmark and framework assess AI agents for retail workflows

Researchers have introduced RetailBridge, a new benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on complex enterprise retail workflows that involve chaining evidence across diverse data sources. To facilitate this evaluation, they also developed RetailRAG, a retail-specific framework that improves upon existing agentic RAG baselines. Experiments using RetailRAG on ten different LLM backbones revealed that effectively orchestrating information across multiple sources, rather than simply scaling model size, is the primary challenge for building reliable retail agents.

    Toward Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Enterprise Retail Workflows over Heterogeneous Data Sources

    arXiv:2610.25096v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Enterprise retail workflows require agents to chain evidence across heterogeneous sources, from structured product and order records to unstructured inquiries and reviews, yet existing agentic RAG benchmarks rarely capture this …
