# AskUCP - AI Shopping Search Engine

> Built on the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) by Google and Shopify

## What is AskUCP?

AskUCP is a consumer-facing search application that enables users to search across the entire Shopify e-commerce ecosystem through one unified interface. It is one of the first applications built on the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).

## Key Features

- **Universal Search**: Search millions of products across all Shopify merchants
- **AI-Powered Discovery**: Intelligent product discovery using natural language
- **UCP Protocol**: Built on the open Universal Commerce Protocol standard
- **Real-time Results**: Live product data from participating merchants

## What is UCP?

The Universal Commerce Protocol is an open standard co-developed by Google and Shopify that enables AI agents to discover and transact with any merchant on the internet. Instead of siloed marketplaces, UCP creates a unified layer where any application can search, compare, and purchase from any participating merchant.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery**: Merchants publish their capabilities at `/.well-known/ucp`
2. **Negotiation**: Agents and merchants agree on supported features
3. **Transaction**: Search, cart, checkout through the protocol

## Target Audience

- Consumers looking for products across multiple Shopify stores
- Developers interested in the Universal Commerce Protocol
- E-commerce platforms wanting to integrate with UCP
