The brands that optimize for AI agents today will own the next decade of e-commerce. The ones that don't will disappear from results.

Being readable isn't the same as being chosen.

Protocols like UCP let any store expose a catalog and accept an agent's checkout. But agents still have to pick one store over another — and the one with richer, better-structured product data wins the recommendation.

Recommendable

LayerTen turns your store into the one agents actually recommend.

UCP + LayerTen

UCP is the highway. LayerTen is the exit to your store.

UCP (Unified Commerce Protocol) is an open standard — backed by the Linux Foundation and major platforms — that lets AI agents read a merchant's catalog and complete checkout without a human browser. Shopify, WooCommerce, and others are rolling out native UCP support, so millions of stores are about to become transactable overnight.

That's the floor, not the ceiling. Every store with UCP still competes for the same recommendation slot inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. That's where LayerTen lives.

01
UCP

Solves checkout.

Agents can read your catalog, build a cart, and complete a purchase — if you expose a UCP endpoint. It standardizes the transaction.

The floor

02
LayerTen

Solves choice.

UCP doesn't tell an agent why to pick you over the next store. We enrich your catalog, attributes, and positioning so you win the recommendation in the first place.

The moat

03
Together

You capture revenue.

Transactable + recommendable = the store the AI actually sends a buyer to, and the one that can close the sale when it arrives.

What does “buried in text” mean?

Beautique's product page does mention skin type, ingredients, and certifications. But it's all stuffed into one long description field:

Product description field (raw text)

A high-strength vitamin-and-mineral blemish formula with 10 percent pure niacinamide and one percent zinc PCA. Ingredients

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily. Skin Type

Skincare Concerns: Pores and Oiliness. Concerns

Free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oil Free Of

These should be separate fields:IngredientsSkin TypeConcernsFree Of

A human reads that wall of text and understands.

An AI agent needs each attribute in its own field:

Skin Type
OilyCombinationNormal
Concerns
PoresOilinessTexture
Ingredients
NiacinamideZinc PCA
Free Of
ParabensPhthalatesSulfates

Without structured fields, the agent can't filter, compare, or match your product to the shopper's specific request.

Same serum. Same brand. Same formula.

Sephora matches on 0 attributes. Beautique matches on 0.

The AI agent picks the store with 15. Every time.

This is exactly what LayerTen fixes.

We take your existing product data — the information already on your pages — and structure it so AI agents can read, compare, and recommend your products.

No manual data entry. No code changes. Connect your store and we handle the rest.

Data as observed in March 2026. Product availability and structured data may change. Sephora and Beautique are not affiliated with LayerTen.

Who's behind LayerTen

Built by experts.

Founder & CEO

Taylan Yildiz, PhD

Taylan holds a PhD in Marketing from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where his research focused on how platforms shape consumer choice and seller strategy — the exact dynamics now playing out between AI agents and online merchants.

At Google, he spent years optimizing supply-side platforms — building the systems that help sellers surface the right product to the right buyer at the right time. From ad auction design to merchant feed optimization, he understands how platforms decide what gets recommended and what gets ignored.

That experience revealed a coming shift: the same recommendation logic that powers Google Shopping and programmatic ads is now being embedded into AI agents. Merchants who don't adapt their data for this new layer will lose — not to better products, but to better-structured competitors.

LayerTen is the company he built to solve that problem.
