True Fit is evolving from a static “what size should I buy?” widget into a conversational agent that can handle the nuanced questions shoppers actually ask: comfort, flattering fit, fabric behavior, and edge cases like petite proportions. We also dig into how vertical agents (like True Fit) can accelerate horizontal super-agents via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and why the future of agentic shopping will be built on clean, structured, prioritized proprietary data, not scraped internet sentiment.

Highlights

True Fit’s specialized size + fit agent (and why it matters now)
Why 70% of fashion agent questions are about size/fit
The “Fit Passport”: from form-filling to natural conversation profiling
What generic agents miss: real-time sales + returns behavior, not just PDPs/reviews
Vertical vs. horizontal agents, and how True Fit uses MCP as an accelerant
The unglamorous moat: data cleaning, normalization, canonicalization
True Fit scale: 80M active users, hundreds of millions of profiles, ~100K brands, ~500 retailers

If agentic commerce is collapsing the funnel, fit is one of the biggest friction points left, and True Fit is making it a first-class agent powered by the kind of data most models will never see.
