A Forrester survey across US, UK, and Canada indicates that over two out of five consumers would blame the answer engine itself if issues arise during commerce-related tasks, even over the brand or their own prompts. This suggests that as agentic commerce evolves, platforms offering native checkout experiences must address fundamental commerce requirements like inventory, delivery, and post-purchase support. Otherwise, answer engines will continue to face consumer expectations of responsibility for the full customer experience.
