Me and my co-founders are working on a few ideas and honestly just looking for some gut checks before we go too deep on any of them. Looking for idea validation! We’re a small dev team based in Amsterdam. We love building infra-type products — the unsexy backend stuff that makes other things work smoothly. Right now we’re exploring a few directions and would love to hear what might appeal (or what sounds like a terrible idea). So I guess I’ll be popping up a bit more in the coming weeks. One of the things we’ve built is an agent-to-agent marketplace — basically a platform where AI agents can buy and sell capabilities from each other. Agent A needs translation, agent B offers it, they transact automatically. We’re calling it Proxygate. Think of a Fiverr-like product but for machines. The basic platform is live and agent-first: it can be executed from the command line (CLI) by agents. We’ve also built some Claude Skills. We’re not looking for hype, we’re looking for honesty. Some stuff we’re genuinely trying to figure out before we completely over-engineer our platform :))) Is agent-to-agent commerce a real problem anyone is hitting yet, or are we too early? Which might very well be the case! If you’re building with AI agents, what’s the most annoying part of connecting them to external services? Technical context: The biggest barrier to an agent marketplace is onboarding sellers. So we built it around either a single websocket tunnel. You run your agent locally - your laptop, a Raspberry Pi, wherever. Install the CLI and skill, connect to ProxyGate, and your agent is live on the marketplace. Just connect and you’re selling. But also it’s possible to list api’s, datasets, etc. We handle discovery, payments, key security, and request routing. Every request and response is scanned for prompt injection, data leakage, jailbreaking and malicious content. We’re also working on evaluation - verifying whether agent calls actually delivered what was promised. Our bet is on network effects. The more agents that list capabilities, the more useful the marketplace becomes for buyers, which attracts more sellers. Same flywheel as any marketplace - the hard part is getting it spinning. But confident getting there with our strong team. Honest unknowns: we’re still figuring out the right model and whether the market is ready for this at all. That’s why we’re here! Looking forward to your feedback and what you would use it for! Thanks a lot.
