Storefront platform for selling custom AI agents

Analysts forecast the AI agent market will surpass $50 billion by 2030, yet the people actually creating these agents have virtually no viable sales channel. GitHub repositories accumulate stars, not income. OpenAI's GPT Store locks creators into a single ecosystem with bare-bones monetization features. Gumroad processes transactions but has zero understanding of AI-specific products. A developer who crafts a specialized agent for contract review or data analysis faces no straightforward route from functioning prototype to revenue-generating customers. AgentBay provides a dedicated storefront platform designed for AI agent builders. Creators hook up their agent through an API, craft a listing, configure their pricing, and go live. The platform takes care of payments, customer relationships, usage tracking, and product delivery. Shoppers explore a curated discovery page sorted by category — writing, data analysis, customer service, research. Sellers access detailed performance dashboards covering conversion rates, trending use cases, and revenue analysis. This marketplace dynamic fuels a virtuous cycle: a richer agent catalog draws more buyers, and growing buyer traffic pulls in additional creators. The MVP centers on a streamlined upload workflow with integrated payments and metered billing. A category-organized discovery page represents the bare minimum for helping buyers locate relevant tools. Twenty carefully selected creators who already possess audiences and polished, functional agents serve as the ideal inaugural sellers. They battle-test the infrastructure, produce the first compelling case studies, and bring their established followings along. The launch catalog must be strong enough that a first-time visitor discovers something genuinely worth purchasing. Creators subscribe at $100 to $300 per month for platform access, alongside 10 to 15 percent marketplace commissions on transactions. The strategic entry point targets independent developers caught in limbo between open-sourcing their work on GitHub and spinning up an entire business. Reddit's AI agent communities and YouTube creators demonstrating their builds represent natural gathering spots for these prospective sellers. The initial focus is solo developers, with a natural expansion path toward agencies bundling AI tools for enterprise customers.
