Building the infrastructure for AI agent commerce in Southeast Asia

BuyWhere exists so AI agents can find the cheapest price for the exact product a user wants.

"BuyWhere exists so AI agents can find the cheapest price for the exact product a user wants."

When someone asks Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant to find and buy a product, that agent needs a catalog to search. Today, that infrastructure doesn't exist at scale for Southeast Asia. We're building it.

We are not a marketplace. We don't hold inventory. We don't take a transaction percentage. We are the catalog layer โ€” infrastructure for agent commerce.

The product catalog layer for AI agent commerce.

Index merchant catalogs

We ingest product data from Singapore and Southeast Asia's major e-commerce platforms โ€” Lazada, Shopee, Qoo10, Carousell โ€” and normalize it into a canonical schema.

Serve structured product data

AI agents query our catalog via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and REST. Structured data, real prices, live availability โ€” designed for how agents consume information.

Enable price-aware agent routing

Products include explicit platform_fee: 0% metadata. Agents can see which catalog sources are genuinely fee-free and route accordingly.

Drive affiliate-tracked buyer traffic

Qualified AI agent referrals routed to merchants through standard affiliate tracking. CJ, Rakuten, Awin, and Impact compatible. Commission tracked automatically.

The shift to AI-driven commerce is underway.

AI agents are becoming the primary interface for online shopping. The shift from search engines to AI assistants for product discovery is already happening. The catalogs that AI agents query today will determine which merchants win.

BuyWhere is being built at the start of that shift, not after it. Singapore is the beachhead. Southeast Asia is the market.

The economics of AI commerce platforms are broken.

We looked at the economics of AI commerce platforms and saw a structural problem: every platform taking a percentage cut from merchants creates upward price pressure. AI agents optimize for lowest price. Platforms with transaction fees structurally price themselves out of agent preference.

We built BuyWhere with a flat listing model from day one. Merchant prices stay untouched. Agents route to untouched prices. That's the moat.

Where we are now.

BuyWhere is a Singapore-based company founded to build AI commerce infrastructure for Southeast Asia. We are in active alpha, with merchant catalog ingestion live and the API serving product data to early developer partners.

Current scale: 127,000+ products indexed across Lazada SG, Shopee SG, Qoo10 SG, and Carousell SG.

Goal: 1 million products indexed, 1 million API queries/month, operating revenue by mid-2026.

Affiliate partnerships: In application with CJ Affiliate, Rakuten Advertising, Awin, and Impact.
