Problem
AI shopping assistants and other autonomous agents lack a comprehensive, up‑to‑date product database, making it difficult to reliably search, recommend, and purchase items across the fragmented e‑commerce landscape. Brands also struggle to expose their catalogs to emerging AI‑driven shopping channels without extensive technical integration.
Solution
Channel3 offers a universal, AI‑ready product graph accessed via a RESTful API. The service aggregates and normalizes data for over 50 million products, providing real‑time pricing, variant information, and rich attribute metadata that can be queried with natural language or images. Each product record includes a trackable affiliate link, enabling developers to monetize referrals automatically. For brands, Channel3 ingests existing catalog feeds, enriches and structures the data, and distributes it to all major AI shopping platforms, handling attribution, routing, and payouts. The platform also supplies tools such as the MCP (Marketplace Connect Protocol) for seamless integration and a dashboard for performance monitoring, allowing both developers and brands to launch agentic commerce experiences with minimal setup.
Target Audience
Developers building chat‑based shopping assistants, recommendation bots, or other agentic commerce applications, and brands seeking to expose their product catalogs to AI shopping surfaces without extensive engineering effort.
