Agentic Commerce: Designing the Next Business Infrastructure
Join us for UCAN@Alibaba.com 2026 gathering on Agentic Commerce: how AI moves from generating outputs to taking action across real business workflows.
We’ll explore this shift through both design and business: how AI becomes understandable, trusted, controllable, and useful, and how agentic AI enters real commerce workflows, from discovery and matching to sourcing, communication, fulfillment, service, and business decisions.
Alibaba.com will share its latest practices across design, AI, and ecommerce transformation, alongside guests from Alibaba.com, Google, Stripe, Figma, ComfyUI, and more, with additional speakers to be announced.
Expect practical perspectives, thoughtful conversation, and a curated room of builders, designers, product leaders, and operators exploring how AI becomes real business infrastructure.
Topics include:
- Designing for trust and action: how design turns AI capabilities into experiences people can understand, trust, control, and use.
- Agentic commerce workflows: how AI enters real commerce journeys across discovery, matching, sourcing, communication, fulfillment, service, and business decisions.
- AI as business infrastructure: what it takes for AI to move beyond tools and become part of how commerce operates.
