Could AI shopping assistants help small stores get discovered (and bought from)? Would love your thoughts

Hey everyone,

I’m working on Bricks, a platform to help ecommerce stores get their products both discoverable and purchasable through AI assistants like ChatGPT based agents, Claude, etc.

The idea is that instead of relying only on ads or SEO, smaller shops could have their catalogs formatted in a standard way (MCP) so AI tools can recommend and complete purchases on their behalf.

Right now, it’s completely free, I’m mainly trying to understand if this is something merchants care about or see as too early.

I’d love any feedback on:

• Does this problem resonate, or does it feel too futuristic?

• What would make you trust (or be skeptical about) a tool like this?

• Is the website clear on what it does?

If you’re curious, happy to share more info and the survey link, just let me know. Thanks so much for any thoughts!
