LiSA: Live Commerce Platform for Retailers and Publishers
LiSA is a live and social commerce platform that lets retailers, publishers, or brands embed live shopping events on their own websites via a subdomain. The platform integrates with leading commerce systems such as Salesforce, Magento, and Shopify, enabling seamless checkout and inventory visibility within the event experience. For non-technical users, LiSA offers a hosted, no-code instance, while developers can leverage product and inventory APIs to customize shopper experiences. In MarketectureTV, Sophie Freres, CEO and co-founder, walks through LiSA’s core features, customer use cases, and potential impact on retail publishing, with a full-length version that includes a product demo. The interview was recorded in August 2022, and the video remains behind MarketectureTV’s paywall, with transcripts available to premium subscribers. The piece highlights a trend toward integrated live shopping experiences that bridge media, commerce, and CRM ecosystems. As retailers seek to blend content and commerce, LiSA positions itself as a turnkey platform for live product showcases, Q&A sessions, and inventory-driven purchasing.

From Autonomy to Accountability: How to Think About Trust in the Multi-Agent Future
Salesforce published a new article on trust in multi-agent AI systems, discussing accountability and governance in the multi-agent future.
Meta, Walmart, Sierra launch personal agent protocol
Meta and Sierra, led by chairman Bret Taylor, have announced the Personal Agent Protocol (PAP) for AI-agent interactions with businesses, with initial partners including Walmart, Shopify, Stripe, Genesys, Rocket, and Instinct. PAP defines three access levels (guest, read-only, and write access) built on OAuth and places businesses in charge of vouching for consumer AI agents, differentiating it from rival designs by Visa, Mastercard, and AI platforms. The protocol aims to control customer data and liability in agentic commerce, with future implications for agentic payments. However, PAP is still in early stages: no specification, license, or governing body exists, and payments are not yet supported. Version 0.1 is expected this month, with payments and fine-grained permissions planned later. Notably, Amazon, Google, and OpenAI are absent, reflecting Meta's competitive positioning, especially after Amazon blocked Meta's Muse agent. The protocol competes with OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol and Google's Universal Commerce Protocol.
State of Tech Industry 2026: AI Coding Agents Transform Software Engineering
The article, based on a keynote by Gergely Orosz at the LDX3 conference, presents a comprehensive analysis of the tech industry in late 2026. Key trends include the widespread shift to AI coding agents, with most engineers no longer writing code by hand and running 5-10 agents in parallel. Agent-authored PRs on GitHub now exceed human-authored ones, and AI-generated code is leading to a 'golden age' of migrations. The IDE is fading, replaced by CLI-first and agentic environments. Code reviews have become 'theatrical' due to overwhelming volume, and AI-only reviews are rising. Teams are smaller, engineering specializations are blurring, and there is a trend of CTOs resigning to build. Challenges include quality degradation, increased context switching, and infrastructure shortages (GPU, memory, CPU). The article also covers the rise of 'agentic software factories' and custom agent harnesses at major companies, alongside a trend of moving to open AI models to reduce costs.
