AI commerce, mapped.
One entry point for humans and AI agents: how shopping assistants find stores, what to publish so they can recommend you, and the AgentReady tools, research, and docs behind it.
AI commerce is product discovery through assistants. The stores that win publish clear Schema.org data, catalog-ready products, and agent indexes — then prove the lift.
