Search Fuels the Agentic AI Age — Is Your Business Ready?

Search Fuels the Agentic AI Age — Is Your Business Ready?

AI is moving fast. It’s not just helping with personalization or smarter recommendations anymore — it’s changing how people (and the AI agents acting on their behalf) discover, evaluate, and buy. The rise of agentic AI and the shift toward a zero-click internet will completely change how customers interact with your business. Here’s the catch: none of it works without great search. Search is the foundation that fuels RAG, powers AI agents, and ultimately decides whether your digital experiences win or lose in this next wave of commerce. In this webinar, B2B Insights and Lucidworks will unpack what this means for both B2C retailers and B2B enterprises — and what you can do right now to get ready for 2026.

  • Phane Mane, Global Lead, AI Product Strategy & Delivery Company, Boston Scientific
