Value proposition
Merchants delegate discrete commerce jobs (product enrichment, feed optimization, agent-visible content, negotiation) to specialized AI agents instead of managing dashboards, while staying in control of consequential decisions.
Products and solutions
Squad of specialized commerce AI agents (product enrichment/catalog agent, agent-visibility/discovery agent, shopper-assistant transaction agent, buyer-agent negotiation agent), accessible via API with support for MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) and x402 payments
Unique value
Native agentic-first commerce infrastructure (not a bolt-on to legacy platforms), billed by usage not per-seat, AI-provider agnostic with data residency choice, source-backed no-black-box recommendations
Target customer
E-commerce merchants and brands (both new agentic-first brands and existing online retailers adding agent support)
Industries served
E-commerce / Retail, Agentic Commerce Infrastructure
Technology advantage
Founding team's deep e-commerce/replatforming domain expertise (NewStore, CouchCommerce, Magento agency background) combined with early-mover position in agent-native (not agent-retrofitted) commerce infrastructure; support for emerging agent payment protocols (MPP, x402)
How they differentiate
Positions as merchant-side, provider-agnostic agentic commerce infrastructure (not a single consumer-facing shopping assistant or a Big Tech walled garden), usage-based pricing, no replatforming required
Main competitors
Adyen Agentic Commerce Suite, Envive, Dialog (AI shopping assistant), also indirectly competes with platform-native agentic shopping initiatives from OpenAI (Instant Checkout/Operator), Amazon (Buy for Me/Rufus), and Google (Gemini Shopping)
