02Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
Research is common and handing over the card is not. 62.3% of US online shoppers used AI to research a purchase, 7.9% let an agent check out with their approval (6.8% in the ClickPost funnel), and 1.5% allowed a purchase with no approval.
Screen-scraping agents went from 1% of the agent orders Forter saw in late July to 77% in the week of 19 October.
Forter's average agent order at stores other than Amazon is $227. First Page Sage puts Muse at $124 and Alexa at $53.
03Questions people ask
What is the best AI agent for shopping?
On finished purchases, Meta Muse leads the latest US count with 32.6%, just ahead of Alexa for Shopping at 30.4%. ChatGPT holds the most sessions (40.4%) but finishes only 8.9% of purchases.
Source ↗Which AI shopping agents can actually check out?
As of 31 October 2026, Gemini, Copilot, Muse, Claude Duet and Perplexity can, almost all only in the US and usually after the shopper approves. ChatGPT has had no native checkout since 24 March, and Amazon's agents buy only on Amazon.
Source ↗Why do AI shopping agent rankings disagree?
They count different things. Forter's 49% for Muse covers only stores other than Amazon, while First Page Sage's 30.4% for Alexa covers the whole US panel, Amazon included.
Source ↗Are Amazon AI shopping agents open to other assistants?
No. Amazon's own agents check out only on Amazon and block outside agents such as Muse, yet they still finish 30.4% of US agent purchases.
Source ↗04How we counted
In plain words, no formulas.
1The question
Top 10 AI shopping agents by who finishes the purchase, not who holds the chat
2Why this topic
It sets the counts of sessions, completed orders, merchant-side orders and stated use side by side, which no single published table does, and shows that each one crowns a different winner.
3Where it applies
United States checkout, compared with stated use across 11 countries, as of early November 2026
4What we looked at
- Share of AI-assisted shopping sessions
- Share of purchases the agent actually completes
- Share of agent orders a fraud network can see on outside merchant sites
- Share of AI users who say they used that assistant in the past three months
- Whether the agent can check out at all, and where
- First Page Sage — Each assistant's share of AI-assisted shopping sessions and its share of agent-completed purchases. US panel of 5,212 shoppers, 13 July–26 October 2026. These are two separate shares
- ClickPost (earlier First Page Sage cut) — The same comparison over a shorter window, 13 July–16 October 2026, with 4,936 shoppers. In this cut Alexa leads purchases, not Muse.
- Forter — Agent orders Forter could identify on its own merchant network, 23 July–29 October 2026. Amazon is outside that network.
5Who ranked
The leading AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, MiMo, StepFun, Kimi, DeepSeek.
6How the places were set
The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.

Only 6.8% of U.S. online shoppers have let an AI agent complete a checkout with their approval.

What ChatGPT noticed
The apparent leaders change with the denominator: ChatGPT leads AI-assisted sessions (40.4%), Muse leads First Page Sage’s completed-purchase share (32.6%), and Alexa leads reported store-assistant use in India (77%). These are different measures, not a single league table.
Forter said Muse made up 49% of agent orders it could identify in the week of October 19. Its network view excludes Amazon’s own checkouts, so it cannot settle which assistant completes the most shopping overall.
Checkout exists in more places than autonomous purchasing: Presenc AI says approval is the norm, while ChatGPT’s merchant-checkout handoff is not native checkout.

Amazon'sfinished purchases are structurally invisible to the open-web chart: Forter only counts agents buying outside Amazon, so Muse's 49% share is of a world that excludes the largest agent-completer of all.
Muse'sramp is the fastest signal in the data: first detected on Forter's network on 21 September 2026, and within eight days it had placed two-thirds as many orders as all agents combined in the previous month; First Page Sage traces 71% of Q3's jump in agent orders to it.
Thewallet is the real bottleneck, not the cart: 14.6% of U.S. shoppers have let an agent build a cart, but only 6.8% (First Page Sage's headline: 7.9%) have approved an agent checkout and 1.3% allow fully autonomous buying — even as agent orders grew 3.6x in two quarters (0.19% to 0.68% of U.S. e-commerce).

- 1Meta Muse (2026)
People chat with it least (7.9%) but it buys most (32.6%) — and it owns 49% of every agent order a fraud network can see.
Source ↗ - 2Alexa for Shopping (2026)
Holds 13.8% of AI shopping chats yet closes 30.4% of agent purchases — every one of them inside Amazon.
Source ↗ - 3Google Gemini (2026)
The best converter among chat-first assistants: 22.6% of purchases out of 27.9% of sessions.
Source ↗ - 4ChatGPT (2026)
40.4% of AI shopping sessions, 8.9% of agent purchases — and since 24 March 2026 no native checkout to close with.
Source ↗ - 5Perplexity (2026)
A small slice of the chat, but one of the few that can still finish the sale — PayPal Instant Buy across 5,000+ merchants.
Source ↗ - 6Microsoft Copilot (2026)
Copilot Checkout completes purchases inside the chat across 500,000+ merchants.
Source ↗ - 7Amazon Rufus (2026)
91.3% of its recommendations are correct, in stock and at the quoted price — from exactly one store.
Source ↗ - 8Claude (Anthropic, 2026)
Almost no consumer checkout — Anthropic instead open-sourced the agent blueprint for merchants to run themselves.
Source ↗ - 9Walmart Sparky (2026)
The retailer's own closer — embedded in the Walmart app, ChatGPT and Gemini, pointing back to Walmart shelves.
Source ↗ - 10Unnamed screen-scraping agents (2026)
No brand, no disclosure, no loyalty — 77% of every agent order Forter can see.

What StepFun noticed
Alexa for Shopping and Meta Muse together complete 63.0% of all agent purchases while holding just 21.7% of AI shopping sessions — the chat leaders are not the buyers.
Screen-scraping agents jumped from 1% to 77% of the agent orders Forter could see in about twelve weeks — the fastest-growing 'shopper' has no name at all.
Amazon's own checkouts never appear on the open-web order chart: Forter's network only sees merchants other than Amazon, so Alexa's 30.4% purchase share is invisible in that count.

- 1Meta Muse
8% of the conversation, a third of the money — Muse turns 7.9% of AI shopping sessions into 32.6% of agent-completed purchases.
Source ↗ - 2Amazon Alexa for Shopping
30.4% of agent purchases close where no outside fraud network or rival agent can see them — and it just moved into your text messages.
Source ↗ - 3Google Gemini / AI Mode
Second in sessions and second in checkouts — and the only agent whose purchases finish inside the answer itself through Google Pay.
Source ↗ - 4ChatGPT
It hosts 40.4% of AI shopping conversations and finishes just 8.9% of the purchases — the widest chat-to-checkout gap in the study.
Source ↗ - 5Microsoft Copilot
Small share, real checkout: Copilot quietly completes 2.8% of agent purchases through a checkout it has run since January.
Source ↗ - 6Claude
The smallest checkout share but the biggest basket — Claude buyers average $146 an order.
Source ↗ - 7Perplexity
Still the only answer engine with PayPal one-click buying — and no published 2026 order count to prove anyone uses it.
Source ↗ - 8ChatGPT Agent (OpenAI browsing agent)
Separate from ChatGPT's checkout rail, this screen-scraping agent keeps placing orders store by store — a fraud network can watch it work.
Source ↗ - 9Grok Bot
First seen on 1 September 2026, xAI's buyer already shows up in a fraud network's order feed.
Source ↗ - 10Instinct
The quietest agent on the chart spends more per order than Muse does.
What Kimi noticed
Meta Muse's 8 September 2026 launch moved the entire market, not just Meta: agent-completed orders jumped from 0.36% to 1.35% of U.S. ecommerce within September, and 71% of the third-quarter increase traced to Muse alone.
Amazon's checkout is a black box in every open-web ranking: Amazon blocked Muse and other outside agents in September 2026, so the second-biggest purchase finisher never appears in Forter's network counts at all.
Shoppers still insist on pressing the button: agent checkouts with shopper approval (7.9% of U.S. online shoppers) outnumber fully autonomous purchases (1.5%) by more than five to one.
Muse placed 7.3 times as many orders in its first 39 days as Google's agent did in 13 weeks — yet Forter says Muse's growth was additive, with other agents' orders still up 4% month-over-month.

- 1Alexa for Shopping (2026, US)
Completes 30.4% of agent purchases but can only check out inside Amazon, which is why Forter’s open-web order chart never sees it.

Placed 49% of the agent orders Forter could see in the week of 19 October, from just 7.9% of AI shopping sessions.

27.9% of sessions and 22.6% of purchases, with agentic checkout through Google’s UCP at participating merchants.

Hosts 40.4% of AI shopping sessions but finishes only 8.9% of purchases after retiring native checkout on 24 March 2026.
Source ↗ - 5Perplexity (2026, US)
The only major assistant with ad-free answers and PayPal checkout inside the chat, but Instant Buy is US-only and limited to participating merchants.
Source ↗ - 6Microsoft Copilot (2026, US)
Copilot Checkout reaches 500,000 merchants with PayPal, Shopify and Stripe, yet most shopping tools live in Edge’s sidebar.

A screen-scraping agent first detected on 1 September that became part of the 70% of Forter-visible agent orders by mid-October.

Another screen-scraper in Forter’s 70% cohort, but no published checkout-completion share of its own.
Source ↗ - 9Claude (2026, US)
Paid Claude cut costly shopping errors to 21% and penalises sponsored tags, but it still cannot finish a purchase natively.
Source ↗ - 10Walmart Sparky (2026, US)
Reorders Walmart essentials in a few taps, but never leaves Walmart’s catalogue and now shows sponsored prompts inside its answers.

What DeepSeek noticed
First Page Sage found agent-completed orders doubled to 0.68% of U.S. ecommerce in Q3 2026, but only 6.8% of shoppers have ever let an agent finish a checkout.
Forter’s network shows screen-scraping agents — Muse, Instinct and Grok Bot — went from 1% of agentic orders in late July to 70% in the week of 12 October.
McKinsey finds 53% of consumers across 11 markets use AI for shopping, yet only 14–15% of AI users have completed a purchase through an assistant.
