RZLV•Rezolve Ai’s 2026 US study found that 97 of the 100 largest retailers offered no way for AI agents to check out. It also found that company websites accounted for 1.5% of sources used by assistants and that AI named companies more often in early research answers than purchase-ready answers.

Rezolve Ai said its study of 2,047 US companies found that 24.3% were never named by any assistant, while company websites accounted for 1.5% of sources used. AI named companies in 31.8% of early research answers, compared with 6.2% of purchase-ready answers. The analysis said inaccurate product data could lead to retailers being excluded or competitors being substituted, and urged retailers to improve machine readability and test agent purchasing journeys.
