I built a shopping agent inside iMessage. Open sourcing the code: github.com/gil--/ucp-agent-imessage
1. Send a msg or photo.
2. It searches Shopify’s global catalog.
3. Builds one cart per merchant.
4. Connects Shop identity w/ budget.
5. No cc details exposed.
Why Shopify? Shop identity already covers hundreds of millions of buyers.
One protocol (UCP), every merchant. Millions of products. No scraping or “computer use”is necessary. 💚

Here’s a short demo of my agent, Concierge using Shopify’s UCP tools and our Shop identity tokens to directly checkout with spend controls.
👋 If you’re building in this space, let’s work together to enable seamless agentic commerce.
