Show HN: CommerceTXT – llms.txt for e-commerce (95% token reduction)

2 points by tsazan ↗ HN
Problem: AI agents waste 8,500+ tokens scraping HTML to find a product price. They hallucinate inventory and merchants have no control.

Solution: CommerceTXT - a read-only protocol that gives AI deterministic commerce data.

Result: 95% cost reduction, zero hallucinations, accurate pricing.

Why it matters: - AI platforms: Massive inference cost savings - Merchants: Control + reduced server load - Users: Accurate information, faster responses

Like llms.txt, but for commerce. Open standard (CC0), vendor-neutral. Status: v1.0.0 stable just released

Seeking feedback from: AI engineers, e-commerce developers, merchants. What would make this more useful? How can we improve the format?
