The Specs page

In progress

Publishing the eligibility and pricing extension contracts as a first-class reference surface. Drafts already live in the repo — this makes them public and citable, so the rules agents act on are out in the open.

Phase 2 · Following

Agent Reasoning Console

Next

A visible console that explains whyan agent made each decision — why an item is visible or hidden, why a price changed, why a buyer is eligible or blocked. The Specs page is the contract layer that makes the Console's reasoning explainable.

AI commerce platform direction · Built on UCP

Make your store visible to
AI shopping agents

RetailAgentOS helps small merchants publish pricing, eligibility, fulfilment, and promotion logic in a form AI agents can understand before they recommend, quote, or hand off to checkout.

Built on UCP. Works alongside your existing commerce system — not instead of it.

Why most small merchants are invisible to agents

UCP gives the rails — discovery, catalog, cart, checkout handoff. But agents still can't reason about a merchant's rules. That's the gap. These are the four ways it breaks.

Invisible catalog

AI shopping agents cannot recommend products they cannot interpret. Most small merchant catalogs have no machine-readable rules.

Wrong price quoted

Without structured pricing context, agents default to list price — ignoring member rates, volume tiers, and active promotions.

Invalid fulfilment promise

Agents confirm shipping for items that are pickup-only, or recommend products unavailable in the buyer's region.

Checkout-time failures

Eligibility, MOQ, and qualification checks happen at checkout — after the agent has already built the cart. Buyers abandon.

What RetailAgentOS does

Three steps from store rules to correct outcomes.

01

Publish your store rules

Pricing tiers, buyer qualifications, fulfilment zones, promotions — declared once in a structured, machine-readable form.

02

Let agents understand your store

Any AI shopping agent can read your declarations, evaluate buyer context, and reason about what is valid for this buyer at this moment.

03

Drive correct outcomes

The right product to the right buyer at the right price — with the right next action: recommendation, quote, callback, or checkout.

What it looks like for real merchants

Three different store types. Three different rule sets. One platform handling all of it correctly.

Discovery-Led Retail
Sara's Boutique
Handcrafted goods, made to order
Agent-discoverable catalog

Sara's products now appear when AI shopping assistants look for personalised gifts. Declaring her catalog once made her visible to agents she never had to configure individually.

Qualification-First Commerce
B&T Wholesale
Bulk supply for cafes and restaurants
Correct pricing, every time

B&T's volume tiers and qualification gates are declared once. Agents always quote the right price to the right buyer — no manual corrections, no checkout surprises.

Contextual Offers & Fulfillment
Fresh Corner Market
Your neighbourhood grocery, agent-ready
Promos and delivery work correctly

Fresh Corner's weekly sales and local delivery zones are visible to agents at browse time. Buyers only see what they can actually receive, at the price that actually applies.

Platform direction

Phase 1 proves the foundation. These are the capabilities being built next — turning the protocol layer into a full merchant-facing platform.

Store Setup

Coming

Configure pricing rules, buyer qualifications, fulfilment zones, and promotions — without needing to understand the underlying protocol.

Agent Understanding

Coming

See exactly how AI agents interpret your store rules. Inspect the reasoning behind every visibility, eligibility, and pricing decision.

Agent Actions

Coming

Quote, reserve, schedule a callback, route to WhatsApp, or hand off to checkout — all as agent-initiated actions driven by your declared rules.

Outcomes

Coming

Track what agents did on your behalf: completed handoffs, captured leads, qualification completions, and agent-assisted conversions.

See it working for merchants like yours

Walk through Sara, B&T, and Fresh Corner — see how each merchant's rules are declared and how the agent responds to different buyer contexts in real time.

The gap between UCP and what agents need isn't theoretical — it's diagnosed from years inside rules-enforcement systems where correctness has real consequences.
