Everything you need to know about signalCommerce, protocol intelligence, and getting discovered by autonomous AI agents
signalCommerce is the protocol intelligence platform for agentic commerce, built by OrcaQubits. Its products are signalCommerce : Argus (an agentic commerce readiness audit), signalCommerce : Aegis (the testing and trust layer for validating AI shopping agents against your storefront), and signalCommerce : CatalogOps (decision assurance that tests whether AI agents answer buyers' questions correctly from your catalog).
The signalCommerce : Aegis is a pre-production testing tool that runs AI shopping agents against your storefront before they transact real money. It includes 57 pre-built scenarios, 21 fault injections, 8-dimension persona testing, and covers 5 core protocols (UCP, ACP, MCP, A2A, WebMCP). Think of it as the testing and trust layer for AI commerce.
signalCommerce : CatalogOps is decision assurance for your catalog. It tests whether AI shopping agents answer buyers' questions correctly from your product data and documentation, covering compatibility and conditions, required parts and quantities, bundles, offer availability and multi-turn dialogues. Decision contracts are mined from your own evidence and approved by your team, answers are graded by deterministic rules rather than a model, and a release gate stops a catalog change that would make an agent give a wrong yes.
No. CatalogOps works from snapshots of your catalog exports and documents and never edits your catalog. Nothing a model infers becomes catalog truth without a person approving it; failures are routed to the team that owns the fix.
UCP is an open standard co-developed by Google and Shopify to make e-commerce stores accessible to autonomous AI agents. It's endorsed by 20+ industry partners including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal. UCP defines how agents discover and browse stores.
ACP handles the transactional side of agent commerce: add to cart, checkout, and payment completion. Together with UCP, it covers the full agent commerce funnel from discovery through purchase confirmation.
signalCommerce covers 5 core protocols: UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol), ACP (Agent Commerce Protocol), MCP (Model Context Protocol), A2A (Agent-to-Agent), and WebMCP. This includes Google UCP, Shopify UCP/ACP, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and custom implementations.
Aegis offers two modes: Deterministic ($0 per run) for scripted, repeatable tests, and Agentic ($0.01+ per run) for real AI reasoning with dynamic decision-making. Both modes support fault injection and persona-based testing.
The TAM is $630B by 2027 across 26M+ merchants. McKinsey projects $3-5 trillion in AI agent-driven retail by 2030. Gartner predicts 25% of digital transactions will be agent-driven by 2028. This represents a fundamental shift from click-based to agent-based commerce.
