We're live on Product Hunt today. 🚀

The next wave of buyers won't be people. They'll be AI agents, and most companies are invisible to them.

Nearly a billion people a week now ask agents what to buy. Increasingly, the agent buys it for them.

OpenAI, Google, Stripe, Mastercard and Coinbase are all building the rails for agent led checkout right now. But rails alone don't make a business ready. Someone has to give companies the toolbox to become discoverable and payable an all rails. A blue ocean of new opportunities. That's @bluerailsdotcom.

The new top of funnel isn't ads. It's being discoverable and transactable by AI agents.

I spent my career watching the internet decide who wins. At @GetYourGuide I lived inside a Web2 marketplace. At @passionfrootme I learned the market rewards demand, not just storefronts. Now the ground has shifted again, and discovery is moving into the AI layer.

One integration, and your business is ready for both the customer and the agent buying on their behalf, in dollars or stablecoins. No intermediaries, no commission.

Two things you can do today:
👉 Support us on Product Hunt (link in comments). Any support and feedback helps.
👉 Run your own site through Bluerails Discovery for free and see exactly how discoverable and payable you are to AI agents.

We'd love your feedback, especially from businesses figuring out how to get ready for agentic payments.

Thanks to @benln for hunting us! <3

Creator-led GTM works. Scaling it hasn’t.

Until now.

🍋 Introducing Zest, the first AI agent for creator-led GTM.

From one prompt, Zest builds strategy, finds creators, runs outreach, manages campaigns, and turns results into clear next steps.

Modern GTM is creator-led. With Zest, it’s finally scalable.

.@passionfrootme built an AI Campaign Strategist with Gemini 2.5 Flash to scale creator marketing. It uses structured output for UI control and agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), speeding up campaign launches by ~5x.

Stoked to introduce our Campaign Strategist, powered by @Google Gemini 2.5 Flash 🚀

We took Gemini's insane capabilities and mixed them with everything we know about creator marketing. The result? An AI agent that completely changes how B2B brands plan creator campaigns.

Here's what makes it special:

- Analyzes hundreds of creators at once (thanks to Gemini's massive context window)
- Uses our battle-tested playbooks built right into the prompts
- Shows you performance projections before you spend a dime
- Gives you recommendations tailored to your exact product & audience

The magic? We've prompted Gemini to think like our best marketers - evaluating creator fit, predicting engagement, and optimizing budget allocation at speeds impossible for humans.

No more spreadsheet hell. No more manual vetting. Just smart campaign strategies in literal seconds.
