AI Agents Are Breaking the Internet’s Ad Model

When AI agents book your flights, buy your groceries and pick your hotels, no one is scrolling, and no one sees an ad. So how does the internet make money?
Lightspeed India partners Harsha Kumar and Hemanth Mohapatra explain which purchases agents will take over and which will stay human. They also cover why you can’t upsell an AI agent, what that means for the ad-based internet, and why India may prefer paying per outcome over subscriptions. They make the case for vertical AI built for tier-two and tier-three India, compare today’s AI wave with the dot-com era, and share how they use AI assistants themselves.
Tune in.
