AI agents are getting smarter every week. They can browse the web, write code, analyze data. But there's a glaring gap in their capabilities: they can't interact with real commerce.

Ask your favorite AI agent "what's the cheapest 5kg bag of rice I can buy in Lima right now?" and watch it struggle. It doesn't have access to real-time retail prices. It doesn't know which stores carry rice. It can't compare prices, let alone complete a purchase.

This isn't a model capability problem. It's an infrastructure problem.

The commerce fragmentation problem

E-commerce today is 38 different APIs wearing 38 different costumes. Each one has different authentication, product schemas, rate limits, pagination, and error handling.
