Capabilities

Everything a seller needs to answer agents.

01 Import messy pricing

Turn any price book into a catalog agents can read.

  • Pricing page, rate card, spreadsheet, PDF or screenshot in
  • Plans, meters and discounts become versioned rules
  • Every price checked against your source, and kept in step when it changes (Pro)
  • Conflicts and a readiness score before anything goes live

02 Set the rules agents follow

Decide what agents can see, quote and commit to.

  • Approval thresholds agents never see or split around
  • Spend and rate caps on every agent key
  • Scoped keys that control what each agent sees
  • Fail-closed: an unclear request goes to a person, never guessed
How quote authority works
Sample seller

Approval threshold

Orders above $5,000

Catalog policy · the deal desk approves

H100 SXM · 2,000 hrs × $3.25 −10% = $5,850.00 Needs human approval

Agent key spend cap

Above $25,000 a day per key

Key: procurement-agent · sees GPU offers only

A100 80GB · 15,000 hrs × $1.89 −10% = $25,515.00 Blocked

03 See every agent that asked

Every quote, traced to the agent and the rule.

Every request is logged with its outcome, and every catalog and policy change lands in the audit log.

Works with any price book. Built first for usage pricing.

  • GPU and compute clouds

    Hourly, reserved and egress pricing agents can quote exactly.

    Example $1.89/hr

  • Data and scraping APIs

    Credit, per-GB and per-request tiers without guesswork.

    Example $0.06 per 1K requests

  • AI infrastructure

    Per-token, per-minute and usage overage, held to a price range you set before it is quoted.

    Example $3 per 1M tokens

  • Any seller with a price book

    SaaS seats, tiered plans, wholesale and B2B catalogs, with the same rules and approvals.

One catalog. Every protocol agents use.

Sandbox: MCP only.

Your billing stays unchanged. Payments keep running through the billing stack you already use.

See how each protocol works

Example

See what an agent sees when it asks about your pricing.

Change the order or the protocol. The quote comes from the same published rules either way, and anything over $5,000 waits for a person on the seller's team.

$1,801.00 is within the seller's rule, so no one on the seller's team needs to approve it. The agent can take it straight to the buyer.
