For Marketplaces You own the shelf. A buyer who asks an assistant for a used car, a flat or a road bike first gets sent to a platform — yours, a horizontal competitor or a specialist — and then to a handful of listings on it. Both choices are made by models you do not control, and both shift with every release. We measure where assistants route buyers in your markets and languages, whether the listings they show are still live at the right price with a working deep link, which of your sellers they surface, and how your own AI channel and the agents in your chats behave. ## Where agents choose for you - **Level 1 · Channel** — Which platform or store to open. Marketplaces compete with each other and with brand stores. - **Level 2 · Listing** — Which listing and seller to show. Sellers compete inside a marketplace; the platform owns the shelf. - **Level 4 · Action** — Getting through the path and the deal. Stores and platforms decide whether an agent gets through — and how it behaves. ## Your questions ### Which platform or store to open Level 1 · Channel.
