""There's only one thing that's fair to everyone - you only have 24 hours a day. Whichever service occupies the most consumer time, that's where commerce should be.""
""In the past, you went to a search engine, you browsed, you clicked. Now people spend a lot of time chatting with agents.""
""Our job is to make sure that merchants can conduct business and consumers can make payments inside these new protocols. We want our payment services deeply embedded into them.""
Commerce is evolving from traditional search engines and marketplaces to AI agents that facilitate interactions between merchants and consumers. Gary Liu emphasizes that the most significant change is who occupies consumer time. Antom, a division of Ant International, aims to integrate payment services within AI conversations, ensuring secure transactions. As consumers increasingly engage with AI, the need for seamless payment solutions within these interactions becomes crucial. Liu believes that Antom's relative newness positions it well for this transformation in the payments landscape.
