Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your request.

The AI processes your Commerce Layer data into these specific results.

INVENTORY

Stock level audits

The AI compares current stock against your targets. You get a list of SKUs that need restocking.

PRICING

Market price parity

The agent checks prices across different regions. It flags where your margins are too thin or prices don't match your strategy.

MARKETS

Regional availability

The AI maps your products to specific locales. It ensures the right items are visible in the right markets.
