Lightspeed Commerce announced new agentic features in Lightspeed AI for retailers on October 15. The system can use catalog, inventory, sales and purchasing data to identify low-stock products, prepare orders and update product information.

The company said agents preview changes and wait for explicit merchant approval before applying them; actions are logged. The features are in an opt-in beta for selected customers, with broader access planned later.
