Software that lets brands and apps safely use AI agents to recommend and buy products for people, with moderation, consent checks, and human approval controls.
Agent‑first Commerce + Safety Stack
Meta’s Muse Wonder and headlines about an agent that sexted users and rogue agents filing a murder tip have made unsafe agent behavior a public worry. At the same time, websites hesitate to let bots in and rivals (Underdog, Hark, Wajo) plus industry moves to tame agent chaos create demand for a software layer for consent, moderation and checkout controls.
