Visa has launched a benchmark to assess whether AI models can identify shoppers’ needs and make sound purchase decisions. The first round tested 22 models from 12 labs across 15 shopping challenges.

Visa launched the Visa Agentic Commerce Benchmark on Nov. 5 to test AI models in realistic shopping scenarios. The public can take the test as well.

The first round put 22 models from 12 labs through 15 challenges, including choosing a TV, laptop or personal care appliance. Models had to identify a shopper’s needs through conversation and choose not to buy if no product met the requirements.

The models achieved an overall pass rate of 57.2%. The top performers passed 82.2% of attempts, while the lowest-scoring models passed 28.9%. The five models that uncovered the most hidden customer requirements had an average pass rate of 70.2%.

Each model attempted every scenario three times. All three attempts passed in just 34.2% of cases across the models and scenarios. Meanwhile, 54% of failed runs still ended in a purchase because the AI either recommended a product that did not meet the identified requirements or failed to uncover them all.

Visa plans to add more shopping scenarios and product categories to the benchmark and extend testing to checkout, payment and order placement. Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s global head of growth, said trust is key to the future of agentic commerce.
