Agentic commerce
Infrastructure for commerce agents that can act under control
Agentic commerce lets software agents discover products, verify live commercial state and coordinate transactions under explicit authority. The language model interprets intent and proposes actions. Deterministic services enforce eligibility, policy and payment controls. Commerce systems execute, while receipts and reconciliation preserve evidence of what happened.
The system has three connected control problems
Product retrieval alone cannot complete a safe transaction. A production path must carry product identity and current state into an authorized action, then reconcile the external result. These implementation guides keep those responsibilities separate.
01
Discovery and search
Represent stable product facts for retrieval, then resolve price, inventory, eligibility and delivery from authoritative systems.
02
Authority and gateway control
Bind agent identity, delegated authority, policy and approvals to the exact request before a consequential tool call reaches a commerce system.
03
Payments and evidence
Separate model proposals from payment authority, make execution idempotent and preserve evidence that can be verified and reconciled.

A working trust framework and a target commerce platform
OATI is a developer-preview open framework with schemas, SDKs, CLI tooling, conformance tests, local sandboxes, a reference authorization path and a deployed trust and lookup slice.
The Commerce Graph, Merchant Agent Runtime, connector network, Agent Search Console, outcome infrastructure and cross-merchant learning systems described in Intelliger's commerce material are target architecture. They are not presented as shipped customer infrastructure.
Independent security review, the complete policy compiler, durable evidence and dispute workflows, customer gateway operations and two-enterprise production acceptance remain open gates.
