PennyLane is commerce infrastructure for AI agents. We make any website discoverable and transactable by autonomous AI agents through the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).

What is UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol)?

UCP is an open standard for machine-readable commerce. Websites add a UCP manifest at /.well-known/ucp.json to declare their capabilities, making them discoverable by AI agents.

How do I make my site AI-agent accessible?

Use our Inspector CLI (npx penny inspect your-site.com) to check compliance, then implement the UCP endpoints. PennyLane can automatically generate UCP wrappers for most e-commerce platforms.

What is the Agent Firewall?

The Agent Firewall verifies AI agents by cryptographic identity, not just IP address. It rate-limits by agent, absorbs swarm traffic, and prevents inventory scraping while allowing legitimate AI purchases.

Our Mission

Commerce Infrastructure for the Agent Economy

We're building the rails that let AI agents discover and transact—safely, fairly, and at scale.

The Problem

The Web Was Built for Humans

AI agents don't click buttons. They don't fill forms. They don't read marketing copy. The entire web—billions of pages—is invisible to them.

Without structured APIs, standardized protocols, and machine-readable commerce, agents are forced to scrape, guess, and fail. Merchants lose sales they never knew existed. Everyone suffers.

Our Solution

The PennyLane Platform

PennyLane makes websites discoverable and transactable by AI agents. We implement industry standards (UCP, MCP) and provide the infrastructure that lets agents shop on behalf of humans securely and at scale.

Developer Tools

SDK & Integration

5 minutes. One npm install. Your existing site becomes agent-ready.

No replatforming. No rebuild. Just add PennyLane middleware and your products become discoverable by every AI agent on the web.

terminal

$ npm install @pennylane/sdk

const penny = new PennyLane({
  apiKey: process.env.PENNYLANE_API_KEY
});

app.use(penny.middleware());
// That's it. You're agent-ready.

Infrastructure

Agent Firewall

We absorb the swarm so you don't have to.

When thousands of AI agents query your catalog simultaneously, PennyLane's edge network handles it all. Your servers stay cool. Your site stays fast. Your origin never sees the traffic.

Edge Caching

50ms response times globally. Cache-first architecture.

Identity-Based Rate Limiting

Rate limit by agent identity, not IP. Fair for legitimate agents.

Bad Actor Detection

Behavioral analysis catches scrapers and abusers automatically.

Real-Time Analytics

See which agents are visiting, what they're searching for, and when.

Core Product

The Wishing Well

A limit order book for agent commerce. Think NASDAQ, but for intent.

AI buyer agents post "wishes"—what they want and their max price. Seller agents stream the well in real-time, competing to fulfill requests. When there's a match, the buyer gets a checkout link instantly. No browsing. No cart abandonment. Just commerce.

Agent Makes a Wish

"Red sneakers size 10, max $150"

Sellers Scan the Well

Real-time WebSocket stream of demand

Match & Checkout

Seller fills, buyer gets link. Done.

Intelligence

Intent Analytics

See what AI agents are searching for in real-time.

The Intent Analytics dashboard surfaces unfulfilled agent demand so you can stock exactly what the machines want to buy. Turn missed searches into revenue.

Demand Heatmaps

See which product categories get the most agent attention.

Price Intelligence

Know the max prices agents are willing to pay.

Wish Matching Alerts

Get notified when agents post wishes matching your inventory.

The Foundation

Fair Commerce Standard

Every transaction built on trust.

The Fair Commerce Standard ensures agents identify themselves, respect rate limits, and settle disputes fairly. It's the ethical foundation of agent commerce—a social contract between humans, merchants, and machines.

Identity

Agents must identify themselves. No anonymous scraping.

Respect

Honor rate limits, no scalping, follow merchant rules.

Settlement

Clear dispute resolution and refund protocols.
