today we are announcing openrouter for commerce: opencommerce.sh a single endpoint that integrates 5k stores, including Doordash, Amazon and most shopify stores, with payments using Agentcard (Stripe Link and Shop coming soon). we built opencommerce to solve 3 problems: * coverage: one endpoint to integrate 5k stores. agentic purchasing is a core feature for most personal assistants, but not their main business. searching for products and buying on behalf of users shouldn’t be as painful as it is today (e.g. it shouldn’t involve browser automations or dealing with PSPs). opencommerce solves that: 1 tool, every online store. * reliability: 100% uptime. the challenge with browser automations is that they fail (e.g. captchas, bot-detection, etc). we run thousands of tests every couple of hours on every one of the stores to guarantee that the integration works when your user tries to buy something. * speed: responses in under 10s. consumers are used to Amazon speed, and agentic purchases have so far felt like a downgrade. most agents spend minutes finding products before they come back with results. we monitor speed and improve it constantly.

i keep getting crypto spam from fake identities that are one letter off from a real person. x support consistently tells me this is not against the rules. wtf?

i applied my hypercreativity skill for LLMs to the task of "invent icons for things that don't have icons" and this is what it came up with.

Hmm. Steering that doesn't touch the "Who are you?" response is still pretty interesting.

like 90% of purchase checkout forms fail something with autocomplete or something stupid. do people not use their own stuff?
