Octogen: e-commerce capabilities for agents
Hi HN, We just released a public beta of e-commerce capabilities for AI agents — aimed at developers building shopping agents or personal assistants. It’s early and buggy, but we’d love your feedback. Try a live demo here: https://showcase.octogen.ai/stylist --- ## Why we built this We believe the biggest *technical* bottleneck in building consumer e-commerce agents is fragmented product data and inconsistent schemas across online stores.

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
