Why this is canonical

'Retail agent AI' names the combination of a well-defined vertical (retail) with the agent-era execution layer (.ai). As retail becomes a primary deployment ground for autonomous AI — in personalization, inventory management, pricing, and customer service — a vertical-specific agent name carries direct buyer recognition. The triple combination (retail + agent + .ai TLD) makes the purpose unmistakable.
