Picsart has launched an AI agent marketplace that allows creators to access AI assistants for their work, marking another step in the integration of artificial intelligence into creative and commercial platforms.

The image editing platform's marketplace will debut with four AI agents, with plans to add additional agents on a weekly basis. The feature enables creators to hire specialized AI assistants to support their creative workflows and projects.

Meanwhile, Shopify is positioning itself for what company president Harley Finkelstein describes as a significant transformation in e-commerce driven by AI shopping agents. The executive indicated that the platform is actively preparing for changes that AI-powered shopping assistants may bring to online retail.

The developments reflect a broader trend of companies integrating AI agents into their platforms, both for creative applications and commercial transactions. These AI assistants are designed to automate tasks and provide specialized support across different business functions.

Both companies' moves signal growing industry expectations that AI agents will play an increasingly important role in how users interact with digital platforms, from content creation to online shopping experiences.
