AI can now discover products, build carts, prove you authorised payments, and pay — all on your behalf. Here's how each protocol works, in plain English, and in code.
How the AI knows which shops to even ask. The catalog feeds and registries that route your query before any protocol runs.
The shared language between an AI and any app it uses.
How an AI finds stores, browses, builds a cart, and checks out.
How shops know the AI is allowed to spend — and who's liable when it does.
The new rails — none of them are the credit card alone.
