AI Hack and Group Company Priv Tech Join "Agentic Commerce ONETM", an Integrated Solution Operated by a Strategic Organization with 11 Hakuhodo DY Group Companies

AI Hack Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daisuke Nakamichi; hereinafter referred to as AI Hack) and its group company Priv Tech Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Daisuke Nakamichi; hereinafter referred to as Priv Tech) are pleased to announce their participation as a business alliance partner in "Agentic Commerce ONETM", a solution series that seamlessly integrates specialized personnel and knowledge in the commerce domain, providing one-stop support from strategy formulation to implementation and operation, offered by Hakuhodo DY Group. This initiative is in anticipation of the widespread adoption of "Agentic Commerce", where AI agents will act on behalf of consumers to handle everything from information search and comparison to payment.

Furthermore, as the first solution in this series, the "Agentic Commerce Diagnosis" will be offered, which objectively evaluates a company's readiness for agentic commerce from both business and technology perspectives.

A Dramatic Change in Shopping Experience and the Advent of the "AI-Chosen" Era

With the rapid proliferation of generative AI, consumer search and purchasing behavior is shifting from a shopping style of "searching oneself and browsing sites" to a style of "conveying requests to an AI agent and having it handle optimal proposals and payments."

Agentic commerce was a major topic at "NRF'26 Retail's Big Show", one of the world's largest retail conferences, held in New York, USA, in January 2026.

In such an environment, it is essential for companies not only to be "chosen by consumers" but also to rebuild their data design and brand experience to be "correctly understood and chosen by AI."

In terms of system implementation, compatibility with next-generation standard protocols that connect agents and various EC/payment platforms, such as "MCP (Model Context Protocol)" for seamlessly connecting AI agents with external data sources, as well as "UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol)", "ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol)", and "AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol)", will be a determining factor for future market advantage.

About "Agentic Commerce ONETM"

"Agentic Commerce ONETM" is a collective term for an integrated suite of solutions that brings together Hakuhodo DY Group's conceptualization power based on "consumer thinking", advanced AI implementation capabilities, and marketing operational expertise.

Moreover, it goes beyond simply introducing AI solutions; we will form a one-stop team that provides end-to-end support, from strategies for the future of shopping transformed by agentic commerce (= "winning strategies") to brand experience design, transformation of the company's entire value chain, and the design of AI-ready operating models.
