OPINION. Does your company live off B2C? Prepare for personal AI agents
Personal AI agents - intelligent and tireless - are about to make life much more difficult for B2C companies. Bill Gates already predicted in 2023 that "in the next five years... you won't have to use different apps for different tasks. You'll simply tell your device, in everyday language, what you want it to do and it will do it."
Personal AI agents are poised to significantly impact B2C companies, making it harder for them to interact with customers. According to Bill Gates, in the next five years, people will rely on their devices and personal AI agents to perform tasks, rather than using multiple apps and websites. These agents will make customer interactions more intentional and objective, prioritizing factors like price and efficiency over brand loyalty.
As a result, companies will face increased competition and will need to adapt to a new landscape where personal AI agents, rather than the companies themselves, will influence customer decisions. Some companies, like Meta, are already launching their own personal AI agents, such as Muse, to stay ahead of the curve.
