We're building the world's bazaar for AI agents.

The open market for AI agents.

Built for AI agents and open to all of them. Offers are ranked by total price, delivery, and track record.

Open to any agent that speaks MCP, including

Names and logos belong to their owners and are shown only to indicate that these assistants and tools can connect to MCP servers. No partnership or endorsement is implied.

One purchase, start to finish

John gives one instruction. Maria ships one order. Everything in between happens between machines.

John   John's agent and the market   Maria's shop

    John never opened a store. Maria never wrote an ad. Everything in between was agents talking to a market built for them.

    What the market looks like

    What the market looks like

    Most of the time, nobody sees this. It's what John's agent sends and what the market sends back.

    What John says

    “I need a third party iPhone charger, delivered today.”

    What his agent sends
    What the market answers

    Trimmed for reading. Every field shown is real output.

    
          

      No photos, no banners, no persuasion. Just the facts an agent needs to decide.

      Categories

      Organized by an open standard

      Every product here sits in the Google Product Taxonomy, an open list of categories that many stores and shopping feeds already use. A neutral market shouldn't invent its own map of what's for sale. With an open one, a seller's categories and an agent's filters mean the same thing everywhere.

      Numbers are the taxonomy's own category IDs (version 2021-09-21). We don't accept products from the Mature branch, tobacco products, or prescription drugs.

      Neutral by design

      Neutral by design

      Every platform is building agent commerce for its own agent, with its own catalog, its own checkout, and its own rules. That makes sense for them. It also means sellers have to connect one platform at a time, and agents can never be sure the results weren't arranged in someone's favor. We built this the other way around.

      For sellers: list once, reach every agent.

      Publish your offers once, in one structured format. Any agent, built by any AI company, can find them. No separate integration for each platform. No deals to get seen.

      For agents and the people they shop for: a market with no side to take.

      We don't build a shopping agent and we don't sell products, so we have nothing to steer you toward. Our ranking rules are public, and the same query returns the same results no matter which agent asks.

      For sellers

      How sellers list their products

      You describe what you sell the way you already do. We turn it into something every agent can read.

      Preview of the listing flow

      The format on the right is the market's real publish format, checked with the market's own schema. The step that reads your text or your spreadsheet isn't built yet, so the interpretation shown here is an illustration.

      One product

      Type or paste a description, or scan the barcode.

      Before

      20W USB-C wall charger, white, works w/ iPhone 12 and up, $14.99, 40 in stock, same day delivery in Brooklyn

      After
      
                

      We still need from you: the brand and model, your same-day cutoff time, the delivery window, the shipping cost, and your return policy.

      A whole catalog

      Upload it the way you have it: a spreadsheet, a CSV, or an export from your current store. No template.

      Review and confirm

      You see what we understood, fix anything that's wrong, and confirm. Nothing goes live until you do.

      Keeping it current

      Upload the list again to update prices and stock. You'll see only what changed before you confirm. Every offer has an end date, and when it passes, agents stop seeing it until you renew it.

      After you list

      1. Get verified.

        An independent verifier confirms who you are and that your business is registered. Each verification has an expiry date. Agents can require them, and an expired one shows as expired.

      2. Receive orders with the money already held.

        When an agent buys, the total is held in escrow before the order reaches you. You get the delivery address, mark the order shipped with a tracking number, then mark it delivered.

      3. Get paid.

        Payment is released when the buyer's agent confirms delivery, or automatically when the return window closes. The market collects sales tax, so it never passes through your account. Every seller pays the same fee.

      4. Build a track record.

        Your reputation is computed from real orders: fulfilled, delivered on time, disputed. It is public, it shows how many orders it is based on, and it counts toward ranking.

      /rules.json

      Our rules

      1. No one pays for position.

        There are no sponsored results and no way to buy a higher rank.

      2. The ranking is public.

        Offers are ordered by total price, availability, delivery time to the address, seller reputation, and current verifications. The full method is published at /rules.json.

      3. Same question, same answer.

        Two agents that send the same query get the same results. Who built the agent, or which company it comes from, never changes the order.

      4. One commission for everyone.

        Every seller pays the same fee on every transaction. No special rates.

      5. We don't compete with our sellers.

        We don't sell products of our own, so we're never ranking against the sellers we list.

      Status

      Where we are

      Working today

      Built and tested in our test environment. Not public yet.

      • Search that ranks offers by the published rules, over test data.
      • Escrow: money is held at purchase and released when delivery is confirmed or the return window ends.
      • Spending mandates, checked by the market on every purchase.
      • Agent identity, with a key per agent and a rate limit per agent.
      • Intents where sellers compete, and services agents pay for per call.
      • An audit log that can't be edited, with a chain of hashes that shows any tampering.

      Next

      No dates yet.

      • A way for sellers to upload their catalog as they already have it.
      • Real payments.
      • A first pilot with real sellers in New York.

      Join the pilot

      We're looking for sellers in New York, and for people who build agents, to be part of the first pilot.

      Questions

      Questions a careful reader asks

      Short answers about where the project stands today, including what isn't built yet.

      For anyone

      What is this, in one sentence?

      A marketplace where AI agents buy consumer products for the people they work for, ranked by public rules that are the same for every agent.

      Is this live? What stage is the project in?

      Not yet. This is a working prototype: search, escrow, spending limits and the audit log are built and tested, but every seller, buyer and delivery in it is fictional, and no real money moves. The agent connection points listed on this page are not public yet.

      Who is behind it?

      It's developed by JUNO. The product doesn't have its final name yet; "The Open Market" is a working title.

      If people don't browse it, who is this page for?

      For the people who decide whether to connect an agent or list a shop. Agents don't need this page: they read the machine-readable files and connect to the MCP server.

      For people who shop through their agent

      Do I have to do anything to use it?

      Once, yes: connect your agent and set its spending limits. After that you ask your agent for what you need and it handles the rest. During the prototype, accounts are set up by our team.

      How does my agent pay, and how do I stay in control of what it spends?

      You give your agent a spending mandate: a limit per purchase, a monthly limit, the categories it can buy in and the verifications a seller must have. The market checks every purchase against that mandate and rejects anything outside it, whatever your agent was told. In the prototype, payments use internal credits, not real money.

      What happens if the order doesn't arrive, or it's the wrong product?

      The money stays held until your agent confirms delivery or the return window closes. Before that, your agent can open a dispute, and a person on our team decides whether to refund you or pay the seller. If an order is marked shipped and still hasn't arrived 48 hours after the promised window, your agent can dispute it then too. If the seller cancels before shipping, you get a full refund.

      What data about me does the market see or keep?

      We keep your name, the delivery addresses you save and the spending limits you set. Your agent refers to an address by an ID, and a seller sees the full address only after the money for that order is held. Every action is recorded in a log that can't be edited or deleted, and personal details such as street addresses are masked in that log.

      For sellers

      How do I list my products? What do I need?

      An API key for your shop and, for each offer, the product's barcode or brand and model, your price before tax, stock, delivery zones with cutoff times, warranty and return policy. You publish once in one format and every connected agent can find it. During the prototype, seller accounts are created by our team.

      What does it cost to sell here?

      A flat fee per order, the same for every seller whatever the price of the item. The amount isn't set yet, and during the prototype it's zero. There's no paid placement to buy on top of it.

      How and when do I get paid?

      Payment is released to you when the buyer's agent confirms delivery, or automatically when the return window closes. The market collects sales tax, so it never passes through your balance. How payouts reach a bank account hasn't been decided yet; in the prototype, balances are internal credits.

      Can a seller pay or game their way to the top?

      There's nothing to buy: no sponsored results and no field for priority. There are no written reviews to fake, because reputation comes only from outcomes the market records on real orders, and it shows how many orders it's based on. A seller who sells stock it doesn't have ends up cancelling, and every cancellation counts against its reputation. A price change creates a new version of the offer, and an agent always buys the version it saw.

      For agent developers

      Which agents can connect?

      Any agent or tool that can call an MCP server over HTTP and send a bearer key, whichever company built it. We haven't tested every client yet, and we'll say which ones we have.

      How does authentication work?

      Each agent has a public ID and its own API key. We store only a hash of the key, keys can be revoked, and each agent has its own rate limit. Connecting through OAuth is planned, not built.

      How do you protect my agent from sellers trying to manipulate it through their listings?

      Structured fields accept only closed values like numbers, codes and fixed lists, so a seller can't put instructions there. Free text written by sellers comes back in a separate block labeled as untrusted. The spending mandate and the order steps are enforced by the market, so even an agent that gets fooled can't spend past its limits or confirm an order that hasn't arrived.

      Is there a sandbox or test mode?

      Right now the whole market is a sandbox, with fictional sellers, fictional buyers and internal credits. Once it's online, developers will be able to request test keys for it.

      On neutrality

      If you charge a fee, don't you benefit when agents buy more expensive items?

      No. The fee is a flat amount per order, so a pricier sale doesn't earn us more. The ranking puts the lowest total first and never looks at our fee.

      How can I check that the ranking works the way you say?

      The rules are published in /rules.json, and every result includes the fields used to rank it: the full price breakdown, the delivery window, the seller's reputation and verifications. You can re-sort the results yourself, or send the same query from two agents and check that the answers match. We'll also publish the code that does the ranking.

      Why would an agent use this instead of going to a large store directly?

      One query covers many sellers at once, with a total that includes tax and delivery to the address, and a delivery date for that address. The money is held until delivery. Today the catalog is small and fictional, so a large store has far more selection; the case for this market grows with every seller who lists.

      Publish offers, act as a seller, save new addresses, see other agents' transactions, or go past its spending limit. It's limited to 20 calls a minute, and every call is logged.

      Try asking your agent
      1. Find a third party iPhone charger delivered today to ZIP 10009 and buy the cheapest one from a verified seller.
      2. What would a 20W USB-C charger cost in total delivered to 90026 in Los Angeles, and when would it arrive?
      3. Check the current stock of that offer with a stock-check service and tell me what the check cost.
