Built for humans, not agents: Why the founders believe legacy platforms, even the ones they helped build, aren’t architected for what’s coming. The ACP moment: The OpenAI release that made the duo sit down and say “this is gonna change potentially everything.” The weekend prototype: Asked for screenshots for the pitch deck, Kai vibe-coded a working demo instead, and it’s part of why investors leaned in. A squad of agents, not a platform: The product reimagined from the outcome backward, sold into innovation budgets rather than million-dollar replatforming. Ephemeral UIs: “The fast fashion of front ends” interfaces generated on the fly The protocol soup: Why UCP is “the one to go for” right now, and how ShopAgentic wants to absorb that complexity so merchants don’t have to.…","meta_description":"This is an exclusive first look at ShopAgentic, and we cover a lot of ground with both co-founders.
