Product Feed (Agent Feed)
An agent product feed is a structured file of a merchant's catalog — titles, descriptions, pricing, availability, images, and eligibility flags — submitted in a machine-readable format so AI agents can surface and transact products accurately.
The agent feed is the catalog-level input to agent discovery. It tells an AI agent what a merchant sells, what is in stock, and what it costs. Feeds are typically compressed, structured files updated on a regular cadence, with defined fields and character limits for titles and descriptions.
Stale or incomplete feeds suppress visibility. An agent will not recommend a product it cannot confirm is available at a stated price. Feed quality is now a direct input to revenue — not a back-office task.
FAQ
