I've been looking for a solution to help AI agents buy from AI agents.

I imagine a user with an agent giving them a prompt like "I need a ride to the party now". And at the best UX is that the agent simply takes care of it all with no further prompting so the ride shows up.

The user's agent is in a great position to help, as they probably know where the user is, where the party is, have access to a credit card or Bitcoin wallet, and know the user's preference when it comes to type of ride service and budget.

And of course there are services providers out there that would quite like the business.

What seems to be missing is a way for the user's agent to discover and engage with and buy from services.

I don't see the agents using search engines or navigating website user interfaces or making phone calls. They could, but it's not optimal. I also don't see them bothering to build their own API connections for every potential service.

I've been looking for a light touch interoperability framework. Perhaps the user's agent can simply broadcast the request, such that service provider agents can discover it and respond with quotes for the user's agent to select between. Some information exchange like a pick up address. Some payment exchange like a zap from a lightning wallet.

And then I start reading about dvms and how they work.

Can I use dvms for this?

Would it be a good solution?

Agents are the thing I'm currently looking into. I do think it can be done. I already have a bot paying DVMs, so an agent should be able to zap an agent implementing a simple DVM interface. I also think discovery of agents/services/DVMs via nostr should make things straight forward. I'm still researching which agentic framework/protocol to use best for this purpose (smolagents? Mcp? Other?).

But overall, yes I don't think this exists yet, but my feeling is this makes a lot of sense.

Appreciate the conscientious response. You've given me some more reading to do!

I've also got an assistant set up to make zaps. I was intending to build DVM requests next week...

And then I got thinking, why not accept requests to sell services?
