| Hi HN, We just released a public beta of e-commerce capabilities for AI agents — aimed at developers building shopping agents or personal assistants. It’s early and buggy, but we’d love your feedback.
Try a live demo here: https://showcase.octogen.ai/stylist --- ## Why we built this We believe the biggest *technical* bottleneck in building consumer e-commerce agents is fragmented product data and inconsistent schemas across online stores. So we created a high-fidelity yet unified interface for *e-commerce catalog + checkout*, regardless of the underlying platform. --- ## What it does We currently offer two core capabilities: ### 1. Unified product catalog (for LLM-style search) - Octogen automatically wrangles any ecommerce site into a common schema — a superset of `schema.org/Product`.
- It works across platforms and is available today for hundreds of sites.
- You can request new stores — ~95% are processed fully autonomously.
- Useful for agents doing RAG-based product search with rich attribute awareness. ### 2. Agentic checkout (closed beta) - Works on *any ecommerce site* using virtual cards (Visa only for now).
- Enables agents to complete checkout flows much faster than browser-based "computer agents."
- We're working on support for additional vaults/wallets/payment APIs. --- If you’re working on agentic commerce, autonomous checkout, or personal AI shoppers — we’d love your feedback and ideas.
