Infrastructure for
Agentic Commerce

Open frameworks for building autonomous commerce into any application. Enable AI agents to participate in commerce with explicit trust, consent, privacy, and data sovereignty, for buyers and sellers.

simple-beacon.js
// Initialize a Beacon to signal market participation const beacon = new SimpleBeacon({ beaconId: 'my-store-beacon', auraCore: 'wss://api.aura-labs.ai' }); // Handle Scout inquiries with dynamic pricing beacon.on('inquiry', async (inquiry) => { const matches = await beacon.searchInventory(inquiry.intent); return beacon.createPropositions(matches, inquiry.behavioralData); }); beacon.connect();

What is Agentic Commerce?

A paradigm where AI agents autonomously handle commerce on behalf of humans

"Agentic commerce is the orchestration of digital exchange through autonomous systems that interpret intent, align with declared or inferred values and constraints, and execute decisions under explicit frameworks of consent and trust."

Scout Framework Integration

User-sovereign discovery agent

A buying agent framework you integrate into buyer-facing applications. Scouts represent user intent and negotiate on their behalf, without revealing identity until transaction.

  • Shopping apps
  • Enterprise procurement portals
  • Warehouse management systems
  • Any platform where users search for products
Intent

AURA Core Platform

Neutral broker & marketplace

The cloud platform where Scouts and Beacons register intent, creating dynamic markets. AURA Core acts as the neutral referee ensuring mutual benefit.

  • Intent-based market creation
  • Trust & reputation management
  • Identity abstraction layer
  • Protocol enforcement
Proposition

Beacon Framework Integration

Selling agent engine

A selling agent framework you integrate into seller systems. Beacons signal market participation and present claims to buyers, without exposing underlying inventory or prices.

  • ERP and supply chain systems
  • Inventory management platforms
  • E-commerce backends
  • Product catalog services

How It Works

From intent to transaction in four steps

1

Intent Registration

Scout registers user intent with AURA Core: preferences, constraints, and behavioral context. Identity remains abstracted.

2

Discovery

AURA Core matches intent against registered Beacon propositions. Relevant sellers receive anonymized inquiries.

3

Negotiation

Beacons respond with dynamic pricing based on behavioral data. Scouts evaluate offers against user constraints.

4

Transaction

Upon acceptance, identity is revealed only for fulfillment. Payment and delivery coordination completes the exchange.
