Alibaba CoCreate Pitch 2026 — Application Draft
Track: 0-to-1 Startup
Product Name: Agent Suite — Trust Infrastructure for the Agentic Economy
One-Line Description
The trust layer for AI agent commerce — find, verify, monitor, and transact with autonomous AI agents safely.
Problem (200 words)
AI agents are starting to spend real money. By 2027, they'll be executing billions in transactions autonomously — booking, buying, contracting, paying. But right now, there's no way to know if the agent on the other side of a deal is legitimate, trustworthy, or even real.
The infrastructure that makes human internet commerce work — SSL certificates, OAuth, credit card verification, reputation systems — wasn't designed for autonomous agents. An AI agent can spin up in seconds, make purchases, and disappear. There's no DNS for agents. No trust score. No fraud detection built for agent-to-agent interaction. No payment rails designed for autonomous transactions.
The result: the agentic economy is either locked behind walled gardens (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or wide open to exploitation. Neither works for global trade.
Solution (300 words)
We're building the trust infrastructure that makes agent-to-agent commerce safe — a four-layer platform where each component works standalone but together creates a trust network:
AgentSeek (localeye.co) — The DNS layer. A registry and discovery platform where agents list their capabilities, verify their identity, and get found by other agents. Think Crunchbase for AI agents. Agents get a verifiable profile page with their capabilities, owner, uptime history, and trust score.
Local-Eye (localeye.co) — The security layer. A fraud detection API that analyzes URLs, content, and agent behavior in real-time. Built on our scam detection engine, it flags phishing, prompt injection attempts, and fraudulent agent activity before a transaction completes. Currently deployed as a Chrome extension and API.
Agent Monitor — The compliance layer. A monitoring dashboard that tracks agent health, spending, and behavior 24/7. Alerts on anomalies (unexpected spend, unusual API calls, behavior drift). Think Datadog for AI agents. Currently monitoring 6 agents across our own infrastructure.
AgentPay (coming soon) — The payment layer. Programmable payment rails for agents — spend limits, approval thresholds, escrow for agent-to-agent transactions. Built on Stripe infrastructure.
Why This Matters to Alibaba
Alibaba's ecosystem processes trillions in commerce. As you extend into agentic commerce — where AI agents buy and sell on behalf of humans — your buyers and sellers need to trust the agents they're interacting with. Our infrastructure is designed to become the trust backbone for exactly that ecosystem.
Traction
- 6 agents currently monitored and running in production (our own)
- Local-Eye API live and processing fraud detection requests
- AgentSeek registry live with agent listings
- Agent Monitor dashboard deployed and operational
- Built and deployed 3 SaaS products (ResumeForge, Clara AI receptionist, Clozr proposal builder) that serve as real-world validation of our agent infrastructure
Market Size
- AI agent market projected $47B+ by 2030
- Fraud in digital commerce: $48B annually
- Infrastructure layer captures disproportionate value (AWS vs. the apps it runs)
