We're a small team in Charlotte, NC. Herald is designed to help your store get found and named by the AI assistants people ask what to buy. We see AI as your newest referral source. We plan to price Herald so smaller sellers can afford it. We want every kind of seller in the AI marketplace we believe is coming.

Agori comes from the agora, the open square and marketplace of a Greek city. Anyone could walk in and take part. Today that marketplace is the AI answer, the short list an assistant reads back when someone asks what to buy. We're building Herald to help your store take its place there.
Sellers already wear a lot of hats. Many tools scan a store and hand back a list of fixes. We're building Herald to do that work for you.
Discovery moved from the street corner to the search box. Now it's moving into the AI answer. Each time, the stores that showed up early were the ones people remembered. We started now so sellers can grow with this shift. Handled well, AI can send you customers.
In the old agora, showing up where buyers were won the sale.
Ranking on page one won the click. Discovery moved to the search box.
Being named in the answer wins the buyer.
The people who build Herald are the people you'll reach. We've spent years working close to AI, search and selling online. Our reason for starting is closer to home. Some of us have family running small businesses. We want them to thrive as shopping moves to AI, so we're building the tool we wished they had.
We work closely with AI tools to learn how they choose what to recommend. Then we help them choose you.
Stores that adapted early have done well in every discovery shift so far. We think this one will be the same.
Herald is designed so all you need to start is a store link. You won't hand over logins or need a plugin or developer. The corner shop should get in as easily as the household name.
We make one product and care about it a lot. We're small enough to answer you personally.
We're building Herald around these principles.
If we saw it happen, we'll call it Observed. If it's a projection, we'll call it Modeled. We'll always keep the two apart, so you know which is which.
Herald is designed to help buyers find you and leave the sale to you. Your customer relationship, data and sale stay yours.
We plan a free tier with real AI-ready pages for a small catalog. You can see Herald work on your own store before you pay anything.
We're building for where discovery is going: AI answers today, shopping agents next.
Herald is in early access. Tell us about your store and we'll be in touch.
