Who Feeds the Agents? Web Data Takes Center Stage at RAISE Summit 2026

If you build, sell, or recommend anything online, your audience is about to change, and much of it won't be human. Within a few years, a real share of shopping will be handled by AI agents that search, compare, and buy on people's behalf. But those agents can only act on what they can read, which makes a long-standing question suddenly urgent: who controls access to web data, and on what terms? We've been here before. The same struggle shaped the early days of scraping and SEO, only the stakes are higher now that the readers are machines. And nowhere is that fight sharper than in Europe.

That makes RAISE a good place to get ahead of it. The Oxylabs team will be there on July 8 and 9 at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, ready to dig into that exact question with you and to show how we deliver the web data agentic systems depend on.

Bring us your hardest data problem

Your AI can ace a demo and still stall the moment it meets the open web. That is the kind of problem worth walking over to booth 16C with, because reliable access often decides whether a project ever reaches production. Across both days, our team will be demoing how that access gets built, working through the real agent and pipeline problems our customers face.

Stop by if you're working on something like:

Feeding AI models with web data that stays current
Real-time pricing, listings, and market signals, gathered at e-commerce scale
Agents that need to read the live web without getting blocked at every turn

Got something gnarlier on your roadmap? We can get into that too, from collecting multimodal training data like video and audio, to standing up retrieval pipelines on fresh content, to keeping all of it compliant while the rules keep moving.

The pieces behind all of this are worth a look in person. We'll walk you through where our Web Scraper API, Fast Search API, and Headless Browser slot into each workflow.

Make time for the Master Stage

The clearest read on where agentic commerce is heading might be this 20-minute session. Our COO, Juras Juršėnas, takes the Master Stage with Fred de Villamil of NIQ Digital Commerce to talk it through in plain terms, drawing on what each of them deals with day to day.

Rewiring the Web: Data Access, AI Agents, and the Next Digital Revolution

Time: July 8, 11:20 to 11:40 AM
Location: Master Stage

Every working agent hides a problem that compounds over time. Sites rebuild themselves overnight, anti-bot defenses sharpen by the month, and the access that fed your pipeline last quarter can stop working without warning. Juras and Fred open on that grind, and on a point that runs against the automation hype: the harder access gets, the more human judgment it takes.

Then comes the turn most platforms miss. For years, blocking machine traffic was sound defense, but once the machines are the buyers, the doors you keep shut are the same ones your customers now come through. That upends what a platform thought it knew about guarding its data, and the legal ground keeps moving underneath it: open structured access and profit from the agent boom, or hold the line and watch relevance drain away. Where Juras and Fred land on that is the part worth showing up for.

Speaker: Juras Juršėnas

Juras has spent nearly two decades building products and engineering teams that turn hard problems into scalable infrastructure. As COO at Oxylabs, a global leader in proxy networks and web data collection, he oversees the entire product and engineering organization, everything from scraping infrastructure to AI-powered data products. His career has centered on the kinds of challenges that don't come with a playbook, and on building the teams that figure them out anyway.

Guest: Fred de Villamil

Fred is Senior Director of Data Acquisition, QA, and Platform at NIQ Digital Commerce, where he leads large-scale web data collection initiatives that power digital shelf intelligence. His work centers on building and operating the systems that collect and process more than 10 billion products every day, all in service of data-driven decision-making.
