**Agentic commerce is when the AI itself picks the product and places the order on the buyer's behalf — not just advises.** A person tells the assistant "order me a cheaper thermo pot, but one with good reviews," and the algorithm makes the decision and completes the purchase. Fewer human clicks, more algorithmic decisions.

For a seller on Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market, or Megamarket, this changes **who you're selling to**: the listing used to be chosen by a human's eyes, now the product is increasingly chosen by AI from data.

## How it works

In Russia, agentic commerce has gone from "tomorrow" to "today": Yandex has the [YCP protocol](/resources/chto-takoe-yandex-commerce-protocol) and thousands of stores selling through Alice, and Wildberries has an AI selection assistant. The logic is the same: the buyer states an intent instead of scrolling the results, and the assistant matches the query to products by attributes, price, reviews, and rating.

When the algorithm makes the decision, it isn't a pretty listing design that wins — it's the **data inside it**: complete characteristics, honest attributes, reviews. What a human would have "felt out" from a photo, the algorithm takes only from structured fields.

## Example for a seller

A buyer asks the marketplace assistant: "put together a cart for the dacha under 10,000 ₽." The assistant selects products by attributes and reviews. If your listing has empty characteristics, the algorithm simply won't understand it and won't suggest it — even if the product is a perfect fit.

## Mini-FAQ

**Does this already work in Russia?** Yes — since 2026 it's a live channel: Yandex has the [YCP protocol](/resources/chto-takoe-yandex-commerce-protocol) for selling through Alice, and Wildberries launched an AI selection assistant (June 2026). The lever is the same: the completeness and honesty of listing data.

**How is agentic commerce different from the recommendation feed?** The feed advises — the human decides. Agentic commerce goes further: the AI places the order itself.

**How do I prepare?** Fill in characteristics as completely as possible, keep an eye on reviews and rating — everything the AI reads as a machine-readable signal. See also [What is a zero-click purchase](/resources/chto-takoe-zero-click-pokupka).
