START HERE INDUSTRIAL COMMERCE · AGENT READY

Use Middleman as a buyer, connect the supply your company already holds, or give your agent the contracts it needs to work safely.

Middleman is in beta. Public observations are dated evidence—not firm offers, reservations, or authority to transact.

Release status

Choose your route

Start with the job you need to complete. Each route keeps source evidence, uncertainty and permission to act visible.

Source something

Turn an incomplete need into a structured requirement and comparable routes.

Connect supply

Map products, availability or capacity from the system you already maintain.

Build with Middleman

Use public APIs, agent interfaces and machine-readable documentation.

End-to-end workflows

Practical journeys that cross the product, data and approval boundaries.

How Middleman works

Follow a request from first description to a reviewed next step.

Connect from any system

Start with a spreadsheet, table, business system, API or your own agent.

Onboard with an agent

Give an agent one entry point that checks setup and chooses the next playbook.

Make a public API call

Read the product overview, published insights or a canonical product.

The operating model

01Structure the intent

Resolve the object, outcome, place, time and constraints without inventing missing facts.

02Attach the evidence

Keep source, observation time, condition, quantity and stated terms with every route.

03Compare what differs

Make price, lead time, condition and unanswered questions legible side by side.

04Approve the next step

Contact, acceptance, ordering, payment and publication remain explicit human decisions.

Conventions to know

Evidence and decisions

What a listing, observation, quotation or outcome can—and cannot—support.

Terms and objects

Requirement, product, offer observation, quotation and approval.

Agent interfaces

Read-only discovery through docs, MCP, A2A and the public web surface.
