# AI shoppers are already spending over $200 per order.

Meta's latest numbers suggest AI-assisted shopping is moving beyond experimentation.

Meanwhile, Google is expanding AI-powered ad bidding, Shopify is making creative production easier, and Etsy is drawing a line on AI-generated product imagery.

**Here are four developments worth knowing.**

### THE DAILY BRIEF

### 01 / Meta's AI shoppers are spending over $200 per purchase.

Meta says more than 25% of its early Muse users are shopping through the AI assistant, with an average purchase exceeding $200.

**Why it matters:** AI shopping is becoming a real transaction channel, not just another way to discover products.

### 02 / Google expands AI bidding for Shopping ads.

Google is bringing Smart Bidding Exploration to Performance Max and Shopping campaigns, helping advertisers explore additional opportunities through automated bidding.

**Why it matters:** Ecommerce teams may be able to find incremental conversions, but will need to watch profitability closely.

### 03 / Shopify makes AI-generated creative easier.

Shopify's Sidekick can now generate images with transparent backgrounds, including illustrations and graphics for online stores and marketing campaigns.

**Why it matters:** Another small but useful step toward faster, more accessible creative production for commerce teams.

### 04 / Etsy introduces stricter rules for AI product imagery.

Etsy now requires at least one unedited photograph of the actual product in most listings and is strengthening its rules against misleading AI-generated content.

**Why it matters:** AI can make content production cheaper, but retailers still need to protect authenticity and customer trust.

### THE DEAISY PICK

# What happens when AI starts making the purchase?

Meta's Muse numbers caught my attention.

More than 10 million people have set up a Muse agent in the US and Canada.

And shopping is already its most common use case.

These are early adoption figures, and purchases include categories such as travel. But they suggest people are becoming comfortable letting AI help them buy.

For brands, that raises three interesting questions.

1. **Discovery:** Will AI recommend your products?
2. **Conversion:** Can an AI agent actually buy from your store?
3. **Customer relationships:** Who owns the relationship when an AI assistant handles the purchase?

**The next big battle in ecommerce might not be about getting customers to your website.**

**It might be about getting AI to choose your brand.**

### ONE THING TO TRY

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and another AI shopping assistant to recommend five products in your category.

Check which brands appear, what information gets used, and whether the recommendations are accurate.

**Your next customer might never start their shopping journey on your website.**
