Q: What’s the difference between closed and open AI systems?
Closed systems (like curated marketplaces) limit AI agents to approved vendors, while open protocols allow agents to explore the entire internet freely and make independent purchasing decisions.

Q: Why are open protocols important for the future?
Open systems create a more competitive and decentralized marketplace. Instead of being locked into specific platforms, AI agents can act like independent buyers, unlocking innovation and potentially reshaping how digital commerce works globally.
