Agent for hire · All agents
Product Catalog Canonicalization Agent
Use-case foundation agent that produces the canonical product catalog every retail-persona surface agent consumes.
Hire the foundation agent that owns your canonical product catalog. Reads from PIM, POS, ERP, commerce, and marketplace systems; resolves price / attribute / stock conflicts through source-priority + freshness-tiebreak policy; enforces per-vertical schema validation for regulated retail; emits change-events downstream agents subscribe to; and maintains versioned product history for audit defense. Closes the retail-persona foundation layer alongside the universal triad.

How pricing works
Pricing is scoped to your operation in a 30-minute consultation — how many locations, which integrations, what context tuning we do at onboarding. After the call you receive a private checkout link with a fixed monthly number.
Two paths to running this agent
Self-host with the free deployment guide and run your own instance, or rent the hosted agent and skip the build entirely. The skill library is the same either way — the rental ships with hosting, maintenance, and context-tuning included.

DFY — rental
Rent the hosted agent
We host the runtime, maintain the skill library, and tune the agent to your context at onboarding. You pay a monthly fee. No bespoke customization — new skills go through the shared backlog.

What this agent owns
The canonical product catalog across every operator source system — PIM (Salsify / Productsup / Akeneo / inriver), POS (Square / Toast / Lightspeed / Clover / Shopify POS), ERP (NetSuite / QuickBooks Enterprise / Sage Intacct), commerce (Shopify / BigCommerce / Magento / WooCommerce), and marketplaces (Amazon Vendor Central / Walmart Connect / Target Plus / eBay / Instacart). Emits change-events to product-description + inventory-aware-marketing, and retains versioned history for 7-year regulated-retail audit defense.

Backlog — subscribers prioritize one at a time
These skills are mapped from the 248-loop SKU research backlog. We build one at a time, in sequence, with active subscribers voting on which goes next. One skill per quarter is included in the base rental; subscribers can request more through a separate skill-accelerator add-on.
- Backlog · subscriber-prioritized
Detects Amazon prohibited-keyword violations, Walmart category rule breaches, and other marketplace-listing policy drift before publish.
Suggest a skill
The backlog is open-ended. If the skill you need is not on this list, propose it during onboarding or anytime through your subscriber Slack — every active subscriber gets a vote on what moves into development next.
