Arrow's take

What it means for brands

  • Agents with their own browsers will visit your site to compare, shortlist and recommend. Make key facts (price, specs, availability) readable without JavaScript tricks.
  • Agents work from many sources at once. Consistent claims across your site, reviews and directories make you easier to recommend.
  • Prompt-injection defenses mean agents will distrust manipulative copy. Plain, verifiable statements win.
