Our journey began in December 2024 in an Irish pub in Dublin, during a discussion about AI evolution, with Brendan arguing that AI needs to be able to use money to do anything meaningful. We realized that if 2025 was going to be the year of the agents, then agents would need payment capabilities soon, making 2026 the year of agentic commerce.

We started working together in February, and in April we received 100K pre-seed from NDRC, Ireland's top accelerator. We hypothesized that agent-to-agent transactions would be conducted in stablecoins, so we began building a stablecoin wallet tool for AI.

Later we embraced the MCP protocol instead of building a custom tool, and adopted the HTTP x402 standard instead of using our own definition, though we extended it with a basket feature. In July, we won first prize in Colosseum competition, the world's largest crypto hackathon. In September we sponsored a hackathon in Dublin to see what people would build with A2A transactions. We realized we were too early; we couldn't depend on startups that hadn't been created yet.

In September we built a WhatsApp AI agent for Shuppa, a grocery delivery platform in Dublin, that can shop for their customers and autonomously make payments. We realized that customers need AI user interfaces with graphical components, and embraced the MCP UI concept to create AI apps.

Currently, we're working with FlipDish to create AI apps for their customers, deployable both to ChatGPT and to their websites.

Our goal is to build a platform that allows merchants to create AI apps and deploy to every channel: AI platforms, AI browsers, messaging apps, website chatbots. The AI apps will help merchants create closer relationships with their customers, increase sales and customer satisfaction. Our platform takes care of deployment and data collection, so merchants can easily learn from their customers.
