What happened: Home Depot CIO Angie Brown said the retailer wants to support AI agents that can search and buy products for customers, provided the agents identify themselves and act on the customer's behalf. Home Depot has joined Anthropic's Project Glasswing. Key numbers: PHP is used in an estimated 70% of websites. Why it matters: Home Depot is in active talks with Meta about how its Muse agent should identify itself, while Amazon has barred Muse from its marketplace.
