Building where AI assistants and local commerce meet.
AI assistants are moving off the screen and into local businesses. When they arrive on a person's behalf, the business often has no good entrance for that request.
- What's changing: assistants can now search, buy, and act on other systems.
- The gap: a clear entrance for local businesses to receive them.
- What we build in the middle, starting with the AI Front Door.
one system, three parts
Context that travels with you. Works quietly, rarely interrupts. Trust built over time.
A real match first. Both sides say yes. The deal holds, end to end.
AI Front Door. Offers made for the moment. Known across the network.
None of them work alone.
why now
Three shifts, happening now.
Each shift is real. None of them yet reach the moment a person walks into a local business.
Agents can act on other systems.
Tool use, browser control, computer use. The plumbing for an assistant to actually do things is here.
Agent commerce has standards.
UCP, AP2, ACP shipped this year. Assistants can now buy on a person's behalf with real authority.
Context travels with the person.
People expect their preferences and history to follow them across apps, and soon, into the room they walk into.
the gap
Two sides. One place they meet.
A person's assistant on one side. A business's tools on the other. The interesting part is where the two meet.
We build all three: what the person carries, what the business runs, and the layer where they meet.
None of them work on their own, so we build all three. The three-part map is above.
what we build
The AI Front Door.
The single entrance a business uses to receive customers, walk-in requests, and outside agents, in the owner's voice.
A shop has a front door. It's how the world gets in, and how the shop decides who it lets do what. The AI Front Door is the same idea, for agents and requests arriving without a human attached.
One entrance, in the owner's voice. Connected to the tools the business already runs. Nothing about the shop changes on the inside. It just finally has a way to answer the door.
connected to the tools they already run
Receives the world in one place.
Outside agents, apps, walk-in requests. One door.
Acts in the owner's voice.
Connect the tools, tell it what matters, it does the rest.
Stays with the business.
The tools the business already runs stay the tools the business already runs.
where it lives
Where the door lives.
These are the doors we build for. Early conversations with operators are how we sharpen the product.
who we are
Built by locals who think local commerce is about to change.
A small team of locals and builders. We live in the places we're building for, and we build the systems that run inside them.
Anthony Carter
Product and partnerships. Lives inside the merchant conversation.
Andrei Tîltu
Systems and integrations. Builds the connections between the tools businesses already run.
Marius Boitor
Agent behavior and judgment. Shapes how the door decides.
