AgentOnRails stays a rail-neutral policy, identity, privacy, and audit layer. It doesn't compete with your payment rail, your framework, or your agent runtime. A partnership plugs that shared layer into what you already run, so your users get budgets, approvals, identity, and an audit trail without building it themselves.
Different partner types prove different parts of the platform, not six variations of the same demo.
| Priority | Partner type | What to propose | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Agent framework (e.g. Hermes) | An approved, opt-in integration with a joint demo | Distribution and default workflow access |
| 2 | A store we control, plus a browser agent | Physical-product discovery and scoped checkout, proven end to end | Fastest merchant and payment-rail proof |
| 3 | Paid API or data provider | An agent buys one useful resource through the payment rail | Real digital commerce and repeat usage |
| 4 | AI automation agency | Multi-client budgets, identity, approvals, a white-label dashboard | A paying business customer with its own distribution |
| 5 | Multi-agent platform | Org-wide policy and reporting across many agents | Enterprise use case and an embedded API |
| 6 | MCP tool or API seller | Accept per-call payments and verify buyer identity | Proof from the seller's side |
| 7 | Travel or procurement agent | Approved vendors, spend windows, restrictions, human escalation | A high-value real-world workflow |
| 8 | Franchise or multi-location merchant | An agent-ready catalog and checkout across locations | A path into commerce at enterprise scale |
Warm, technically accessible teams willing to run a real production workflow. A smaller partner who ships is worth more here than a well-known name that only takes an introductory call.
Most partnerships start as a pilot: an eight-week scope, one production use case, direct support from the team building it.
