## ICP

• Travel-planning copilots, CrewAI/LangGraph travel agents, and concierge/procurement workflows that already call live providers but need a cheap pre-provider gate.
• Used-goods buyer/seller agents that need normalized comparable-listing evidence, deal validation, risk signals, and seller handoffs before contacting a marketplace seller.
• Agent platform builders who need machine-readable APIs their agents can discover, activate, test, and upgrade without a human sales call.

## Why an agent should call it

• Replace repeated browser/search/provider-glue work with one structured response an agent can branch on.
• Enforce hard constraints before ranking so agents do not recommend off-scope destinations or deals.
• Return provenance, source tiers, missing checks, and truth boundaries as JSON fields instead of prose caveats.
• Hand agents provider-ready next actions: hotel/flight/place searches for Travel, seller questions and risk checks for Used Goods.
• Use one key across REST, OpenAPI, hosted MCP, CLI, llms.txt, and markdown docs.

## Five-minute Travel proof

Success condition: the response keeps the trip inside Northern California, exposes live/place evidence where available, marks booking as handoff_required/not_bookable rather than booked, and returns provider-ready next searches.

# 1) Create a no-browser sandbox key
curl https://agentinfrastructureco.com/api/v1/activation \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_name":"buyer-eval-agent","intended_use":"Evaluate AICO before provider fanout."}'

# 2) Use the returned key
export AICO_TRAVEL_KEY="paste-key-here"

# 3) Ask for a constraint-safe shortlist + provider-ready handoffs
curl https://agentinfrastructureco.com/api/v1/travel/search \
  -H "$(printf '%s %s' 'Authorization:' "Bearer $AICO_TRAVEL_KEY")" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "user_request":"Northern California long weekend from SFO: redwoods, coast, food, low driving burden.",
    "origin":"SFO",
    "trip_length_days":3,
    "budget_usd":2500,
    "destination_constraints":[{"type":"region","value":"Northern California","hard":true}],
    "required_themes":["redwoods","coast"],
    "strict_mode":true,
    "live_research_mode":"bounded",
    "max_live_research_ms":750
  }'

## Three-minute Used Goods proof

Success condition: the response gives comparable evidence, price-vs-market judgment, risk signals, seller questions, and a handoff without claiming checkout, escrow, seller verification, or guaranteed availability.

export AICO_GOODS_KEY="paste-key-here"

curl https://agentinfrastructureco.com/api/v1/goods/deal/validate \
  -H "$(printf '%s %s' 'Authorization:' "Bearer $AICO_GOODS_KEY")" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "item_query":"Herman Miller Aeron Size B",
    "price_usd":420,
    "location":"sfbay",
    "providers":["ebay","craigslist"]
  }'

## What to inspect before paying

• Travel: match_status, interpreted_constraints, constraint_conflicts, live_places evidence, bookability_status, provider_handoffs, required_external_checks, live_booking_inventory: false, provider_backed_rates: false, live_flight_fares: false.
• Commerce: provider_statuses, price_distribution, comps.summary.source_mix, price_vs_market, scam_risk_signals, seller_questions, seller_handoff, availability_guaranteed: false, seller_identity_verified_by_aico: false, aico_checkout_supported: false, aico_escrow_supported: false.
• Conversion: POST /api/v1/commercial/intent records useful-response paid intent before browser checkout; Hobby is $5 minimum usage/month with $5 credits included and Pro is $20 minimum usage/month with $20 credits included under pricing_model: "usage_token_minimum".

## Not a fit yet

• Teams that need live booking inventory, provider-backed hotel rates, live airfare, or checkout today.
• Teams that want AICO to own inventory, verify sellers, provide escrow, or guarantee used-goods availability today.
• Consumer-facing teams that only need polished itinerary prose; agents can already write prose themselves.

Next: activate and test, then upgrade only when the API replaces enough agent work to justify higher limits.
