AI overview

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke offered his judgment on how personal AI agents will monetize. He said personal AI agents will not monetize through a 2% transaction cut, but will enter an era of "basis points." He also proposed a "reverse money test": users would be willing to pay an increasingly high price to stop using their own Muse. The monetization method could be metered billing in the background, or a cut of transaction volume, or both; he is not worried, because there is a lot of room for agents to help people save money.

    Shopify CEO Tobi on How Personal AI Agents Will Make Money

    Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke believes that monetizing personal AI agents won't rely on a 2% transaction cut, but will enter an era of "basis points." He proposes a "reverse money test": users are willing to pay an increasingly higher price to stop using their own Muse. The monetization method could be backend meter-style billing, or a cut of transaction volume, or both; he isn't worried, because there's a lot of room for agents to help people save money.
