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
4. DeSci doesn’t replace labs or peer review, but it helps fund, organise, and incentivise science in a more global, inclusive way. The future of research is in decentralisation!
1. Ever heard of DeSci (Decentralized Science)? It's like open-source research meets Web3. 🧬 Instead of waiting on institutions to fund or approve science, DeSci lets communities support and govern it.
3. Key tools in DeSci:
🔗 Blockchains: transparent records of data & funding
⚙️ Smart contracts: automate research milestones & payments
🗳️ Governance tokens: vote on what gets funded
👛 Wallets: your identity in the ecosystem
#Climatechange affects everyone, so this year’s #InternationalWomensDay theme of innovation and tech for gender #equality really spoke to us.
As a tech company, it’s our job to innovate, and that means empowering the women and marginalized groups at the heart of #climateaction.
@LightspeedHQ your team in Germany are using extortion tactics. I signed up for a particular purpose and was promised that but after a little while after it was confirmed by the lightspeed support team it is not possible, you guys are still continuing to charge me! Wtf?
Congrats @vaayutech on being listed as one of @TIME's Best Inventions of 2022 👏

Exciting news! We won @TheEuropas 2022 Climate Tech / Sustainability Award. This year's winners were announced at a ceremony in Lisbon last night. We couldn't be more excited to be recognized as part of Europe's rich history in scientific and tech innovation. #vaayutech
Voting is now open for @TheEuropas! Vaayu has been nominated for two awards this year — B2B SaaS and Climate Tech/Sustainability — and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
Make sure you vote before 11th October via https://t.co/hVe5qDBNnS #TheEuropas
Keeping the politics aside for a moment.
It’s been 75 years since Indian Independence.
The appointment of @RishiSunak as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is nothing short of Historic.
Building a restaurant in the digital age: how an ex-banker and an asylum seeker set up Tiffin Berlin with @sobaid. How tech + hospitality can work together.
