1,000+ agent shopping sessions across 16 frontier models and 97 real UCP-enabled stores.
The most surprising finding: which store you're shopping at matters more than which AI model is doing the shopping.

UCP manifest validates. Score is solid. But when a real frontier agent walks up to your store, does it actually complete a checkout?
AI commerce needs MLPerf. Here's an early attempt:

UCP v2026-04-08 dropped — the biggest spec update since launch.
Carts. Catalogs. Signing. 26 features, 6 breaking changes.

We tested 5 frontier models on expiring travel inventory through UCP.
The finding that matters: every model can reason about offer TTLs when asked. Zero models check TTLs before booking unprompted.
Agents treat expiry as error-handling, not planning.

This started from a GitHub discussion between Google's UCP lead, an IT travel engineer, and our team. We built the primitive they said was missing and tested it. Full context → https://t.co/zy4CpSskVX
We just published the first open dataset of agentic commerce adoption.
3,000+ verified UCP merchants. 15 columns. CC-BY 4.0.

You asked, we shipped.
Reasoning models now supported in UCP Playground. See the agent's thought process as it shops — not just what it did, but why.

Google also formalized the merchant onboarding path — Merchant Center, Google Pay, three REST endpoints, and a waitlist for AI Mode checkout.
Full breakdown + 5 data charts in the report.

We scanned 3,034 stores for UCP manifests in March.
Adoption has tripled in a month. Non-Shopify platforms are showing up for the first time. And the spec is expanding into returns, loyalty, and fees.

The spec is moving fast too. 10 active PRs covering returns, loyalty, fees, embedded checkout, and risk signals.
UCP is evolving from "search and checkout" into an end-to-end commerce protocol.
New toys in the Playground.
You can now test travel agents (hotel search, bookings) and B2B procurement agents (RFQs, quotes, purchase orders) against live UCP stores.
Builders are already shipping these workflows.

We built a browser extension that makes one HTTP request per domain. Zero DOM access. Zero cookies. Zero page content.
It's now discovered more UCP-enabled stores than our crawler, web submissions, and bulk checks combined.
