The End of the Funnel: How AI Will Rebuild the Consumer Decision Journey

The traditional funnel assumes that consumers move through a recognisable sequence from awareness to purchase. This report examines how AI is disrupting that logic by changing how people discover products, compare options, receive recommendations, and make decisions across search, social platforms, assistants, marketplaces, and connected digital environments.

The report maps the emerging decision journey and the new moments that influence choice. It explores the role of recommendation systems, predictive intent, conversational interfaces, dynamic content, and automated commerce, while showing how marketers can rethink measurement, messaging, channel strategy, and customer experience around a journey that is increasingly fluid, personalised, and machine-mediated.
