Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing the way customers shop—it’s changing who does the shopping. With the rise of Agentic Commerce and new AI-powered browsers like ChatGPT’s Atlas, small businesses face a brand-new race for visibility.

Instead of typing into Google, customers will soon rely on AI assistants to scan offers, compare services, and decide which brands to trust. That means your online presence needs to speak as much to machines as it does to people.

In this episode, host Michael Shiverdecker explores how RS&I Authorized Dealers can get ready for this shift and what practical steps you can take now.
