    This is great! I’ve been exploring a similar idea with Shopify merchants https://lobsterstores.com/

    Each merchant has an MCP. I’m building a directory and creating a skill that lets clankers discover and interact with their MCPs. I receive a checkout link to securely complete the payment.

    I've been thinking what the "agent" side means for a merchant, building yet another chatbot is not really interesting. I'm talking with some merchants and trying to figure out the answer to that question.

    This seems pretty great, especially if it could surface pricing that is usually obscured. Any plans to publish some results? edit: i think these are some examples: https://salespeak.ai/profiles/

    It’s definitely interesting, I already see a scenario in which vendors try optimizing their prompts for this kind of AI agents.

    From a technical standpoint, this is pretty cool. From a human standpoint, this feels so unbelievably dystopian.

      If a human was being grilled like this by an LLM, I’d call that my dystopian. If companies have LLMs that address each other in a somewhat adversarial manner, that seems not so bad. They don’t have feelings to protect after all, so it is kind of nice if they can cut through each other’s bullshit.

        Imagine if there were some kind of way to compress the interrogation down to known-valid aspects, avoiding the parts that are unnecessary for machines. You could have some kind of a programmatic interface...

          Yea let’s call it the Agent Prioritized Interrogation interface.

          Yeah, I take your point. It seems like the idea, though, is to work with services that are specifically trying to expose some kind of special LLM based interface. I dunno if that’s prominent or useful, I avoid that kind of thing.
