Product releases, engineering notes and measured research from the team building agent-native commerce.
PlatformDTC is now in public beta. Anyone can sign up at platformdtc.com/register — no sales call, no approval queue, no invite code, no waitlist — and finish signup with a real store, seeded and ready to build. The storefront goes public when a plan starts.
FangCode is live at fangcode.ai — agentic coding in the terminal from a single static Go binary, on one $10 plan with the same rate at every hour. Every turn writes down the tokens, cache hit rate and dollars it spent.
A 58-domain sample is small enough that a striking result deserves a second look. The PlatformDTC team widened the frame to 147 brands, turned the collection into a re-runnable script, and published the two findings that did not survive.
The agentic commerce conversation is almost entirely about intent — which platforms say they will support which protocol, and when. The PlatformDTC team called the endpoints instead, and found 31 of 58 brands already answering.
Median score 100 out of 100 — and no middle of the distribution at all. Pages either emit structured product markup and land at the top, or emit none and sit in a narrow band below.
The hard part of agentic commerce was never getting a model to decide to launch a campaign. It was being able to sleep at night after you let it. Four gates on every call, and a spend gate verified against live merchant data.
Chatbots talk. Agents act. One secure, programmable API that lets autonomous agents build stores, import catalogs, publish to a live domain, launch campaigns and read back what they earned.
PlatformDTC opens for beta access — one platform for orders, inventory, subscriptions, payments, marketing and analytics, operated by agents that act inside it under permissions the merchant sets.
