Pinterest CEO says agentic shopping is still a long way out
Pinterest’s CEO Bill Ready told investors that fully autonomous “agentic” shopping—where AI buys items on your behalf—is still years away. Instead, the company is focusing on AI-driven recommendations and personalization to act like a personal shopping assistant that “just gets” your style. Ready highlighted Pinterest’s AI-powered search, visual discovery and ad tools, while acknowledging user concerns over low-quality AI content. In Q2, Pinterest reported $998 million in revenue (beating estimates) but missed on EPS, sending its stock lower. Gen Z now makes up over half of its monthly users, with male users rising 95% year-over-year.
