Quick Stats
What It Is
You build an app or bot for individuals that acts as a Digital Personal Shopper. Since UCP is "open," you can build an app that shops at millions of different stores through one single interface.
Real-World Example
User says to your app: "Buy me running shoes under $150 that can be delivered by Friday"
- Your agent searches UCP-enabled stores
- Finds options matching criteria
- Checks inventory and delivery dates
- Completes purchase automatically
- User receives confirmation and tracking
Result: Zero friction. User gets what they want in seconds, not hours.
