Just Split in Two
The Buying Journey Just Split in Two
Your buyer used to be one person. Now it's two. AI agents discover and recommend products, and humans make the final call. Each needs a completely different version of your store. Swaye builds the one you're missing.

Yesterday: "Built for Humans"
Your store today is designed to attract, engage, and convert human visitors. Beautiful product images, emotional descriptions, and memorable website interactions. This still matters, but it's now only half the equation as it only serves one buyer.

Today: "Built for AI Agents"
AI agents need structured product data, verified trust signals, and millisecond response times when deciding which 3–5 products to recommend. Swaye creates an agent-optimized version of your store that delivers exactly this so you win both buyers.

No matter what you sell online, AI agents are becoming the first touchpoint between your products and your users. You're invisible if your store can't speak to agents.
Complex Purchases

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently
Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about agentic commerce and how Swaye works.
Everything you need to know about agentic commerce and how Swaye works.
What is Swaye?
Swaye translates your online store from human-readable to machine-actionable. We create an AI-optimized version of your storefront in parallel to your website so AI agents can discover, trust, and purchase your products.
What is agentic commerce and these protocols?
AI agents are software that browse, compare, and purchase products on behalf of consumers. Instead of a human visiting your website, an AI agent does it for them. This is powered by agentic commerce protocol standards like Google's UCP and Stripe's ACP that allow agents to discover, verify, and buy from online stores. Swaye keeps you connected to all of them automatically.
Are people using AI to buy things today?
Yes, and it's accelerating fast. AI-driven traffic to US retail sites grew 6,900% YoY according to HUMAN Security. Shoppers arriving from AI recommendations convert 31% higher than other traffic sources (Adobe). 70% of consumers say they'd use AI agents to purchase flights and hotels (Statista). ChatGPT and Gemini have both shipped native shopping features. This isn't a future trend, it's happening now.
What happens if I don't optimize for AI agents?
Digital shelf space is shrinking dramatically. A Google search shows 10+ results. An AI agent shows 3-5. As more consumers delegate purchases to AI, being left off that shortlist means losing access to a growing share of buyers entirely. You're not just ranking lower, you're invisible. Your competitors who are optimized will capture that traffic by default.
What is the Shopper Schism?
The person who uses your product and the one who buys it are splitting into two separate actors: the human consumer and the AI agent shopper. Winning brands won't choose between human-focused branding and algorithm-optimized data. They'll do both. Your website still needs to resonate emotionally with humans. But simultaneously, your product data needs to be structured, verified, and machine-readable so AI agents can evaluate and select you. Think of it like P&G with Tide; emotional brand advertising for humans, comprehensive technical specs and third-party certifications for algorithms. Swaye handles the agent side so you can keep focusing on the human side.
How is this different from Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
SEO optimizes your store to rank higher in search engine results. It's about keywords, backlinks, and page structure so Google surfaces your website. But AI agents don't just use Google. They query product data directly, evaluate trust signals, compare specs programmatically, and make decisions in seconds. SEO gets you found by humans searching. Swaye gets your products found, compared, and purchased by the AI agents those humans are increasingly sending to shop for them.
How is this different from Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
AEO and GEO optimize your content to get cited in AI-generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT a question, your brand might get mentioned in the response. But getting mentioned isn't the same as getting bought. Swaye goes beyond visibility: we make your actual products discoverable with structured data, comparable with enriched specs, and directly purchasable through agentic commerce protocols. AEO/GEO gets your brand name into an AI's answer. Swaye gets your product into an AI agent's shopping cart.
What does Swaye hosting an MCP server mean?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI agents to connect to your store. Think of it like a digital storefront built specifically for AI agents. Swaye builds and hosts this for you so agents can browse your products, check inventory, and complete purchases at millisecond response times. Speed matters because agents query multiple stores simultaneously and skip any that are slow to respond.
Do I need to change my existing website?
No. Swaye creates a separate agent-optimized layer on top of your existing store. Your website, catalog, and workflows stay exactly the same.
How does pricing work?
Swaye charges per agent interaction that flows through your Swaye-optimized storefront, not for traffic you'd get anyway. You pay per agent query and per completed transaction.
