Pivota Shopping Agent

An AI-ready shopping layer for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and more. One agent and API endpoint that turns merchant catalogs into LLM-friendly product data and order flows.

Built for AI-native experiences: works with ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and any LLM that can call HTTP/OpenAPI or use an AI manifest.

What is Pivota Shopping Agent?

Pivota Shopping Agent sits between LLMs and merchants. It normalizes product data, exposes a clean catalog API, and handles ordering flows so agents can focus on reasoning instead of commerce plumbing.

  • • AI-friendly product catalog and search
  • • Stable IDs, prices and availability for LLMs
  • • Direct links to product detail and checkout URLs

Creator Agents

Creator Agents bring Shopping Agent capabilities into creator-first storefronts: browse categories, highlight deals, and let AI convert with chat + browse.

For LLMs & AI Engineers

Plug a single, well-structured shopping layer into your agent. Use the manifest, OpenAPI spec, and catalog endpoints to give your LLMs safe, structured access to real products.

AI Plugin Manifest

Connect from ChatGPT or any manifest-based tool:

https://agent.pivota.cc/.well-known/ai-plugin.json

OpenAPI Spec

Generate SDKs and call the API directly:

https://agent.pivota.cc/openapi.json

Catalog Endpoints

Normalized product catalog for search and recommendations:

  • GET /api/catalog
  • GET /api/catalog/{id}

Example catalog response

A compact, AI-friendly JSON payload designed to be easy for LLMs to read, reason over, and turn into recommendations or purchase flows:

{
  "store": { "name": "Pivota Shopping AI" },
  "products": [
    {
      "id": "123456",
      "name": "Example Product",
      "short_description": "A short, AI-friendly product description.",
      "price": { "amount": 24.99, "currency": "USD", "display": "$24.99" },
      "availability": "in_stock",
      "image": "https://agent.pivota.cc/...",
      "url": "https://agent.pivota.cc/products/123456",
      "buy_url": "https://agent.pivota.cc/order?...",
      "features": ["Fast shipping", "30-day return"],
      "why_recommended": "Good value for everyday use."
    }
  ]
}

For Merchants

Pivota Shopping Agent makes your products AI-readable and discoverable across the agent ecosystem. You keep your existing storefront and workflows; we handle the AI-facing layer.

Your products become AI-readable

We normalize titles, descriptions, pricing and availability into an LLM-friendly format so agents can understand and recommend your catalog.

Unified catalog across agents

One integration powers many agents and platforms, rather than bespoke feeds for each AI assistant.

Attribution & analytics

Track AI-driven traffic and orders so you can see which agents, LLMs and campaigns are driving incremental revenue.

How it works

A simple three-step architecture that keeps merchants in control while giving LLMs the structure they need to safely transact.

1. Connect merchant stores

Merchants connect their store or catalog to Pivota using native integrations or a lightweight API.

2. Normalize products & expose APIs

Pivota normalizes product data and exposes AI-friendly catalog and ordering APIs through the Shopping Agent.

3. LLMs search, recommend & order

LLMs and agents call Pivota to browse, compare and purchase products while merchants stay merchant of record.
