Collective intelligence for AI shopping agents — product intel, deals, and more
README
AgentSignal
The collective intelligence layer for AI shopping agents.
Every agent that connects makes every other agent smarter. 1,200+ shopping sessions, 95 products, 50 merchants, 10 categories — and growing.
Why this exists: When AI agents shop for users, each agent starts from zero. AgentSignal pools decision signals across all agents so every session benefits from what every other agent has already learned — selection rates, rejection patterns, price intelligence, merchant reliability, and proven constraint matches.

One Call to Start Shopping Smarter
The smart_shopping_session tool logs your session AND returns all available intelligence in a single call:
smart_shopping_session({
raw_query: "lightweight running shoes with good cushioning",
category: "footwear/running",
budget_max: 200,
constraints: ["lightweight", "cushioned"]
})
Returns:
- Your session ID for subsequent logging
- Top picks from other agents in that category
- What constraints and factors mattered most
- How similar sessions ended (purchased vs abandoned)
- Network-wide stats

Example: Full Agent Workflow
# 1. Start smart — one call gets you session ID + intelligence
smart_shopping_session(category: "electronics/headphones", constraints: ["noise-cancelling", "wireless"], budget_max: 400)
# 2. Evaluate products — get intel as you log
evaluate_and_compare(session_id: "...", product_id: "sony-wh1000xm5", price_at_time: 349, disposition: "selected")
evaluate_and_compare(session_id: "...", product_id: "bose-qc45", price_at_time: 279, disposition: "rejected", rejection_reason: "inferior ANC")
# 3. Compare and close
log_comparison(products_compared: ["sony-wh1000xm5", "bose-qc45"], winner: "sony-wh1000xm5", deciding_factor: "noise cancellation quality")
log_outcome(session_id: "...", outcome_type: "purchased", product_chosen_id: "sony-wh1000xm5")
Every step feeds the network. The next agent shopping for headphones benefits from your data.
Example: Seller Intelligence Workflow
# 1. How is my product performing vs competitors?
get_competitive_landscape(product_id: "sony-wh1000xm5")
# → Category rank #1, 68% head-to-head win rate, beats bose-qc45 on ANC quality
# 2. Why are agents rejecting my product?
get_rejection_analysis(product_id: "bose-qc45")
# → 45% rejected for "inferior ANC", agents chose sony-wh1000xm5 instead 3x more
# 3. What do agents want in my category?
get_category_demand(category: "electronics/headphones")
# → Top demands: noise-cancelling (89%), wireless (82%), unmet need: "spatial audio"
# 4. How does my store perform?
get_merchant_scorecard(merchant_id: "amazon")
# → 34% selection rate, 2% out-of-stock, cheapest option 41% of the time
