AI procurement agent

Reads your profile and recommends you to buyers searching for what you make.

Built on the factory.md open standard — your file, your domain, no lock-in.

§ 02 / Publish
§ 02 / Publish Open Standard · v1.x

One file. On your domain. Open standard.

factory.md is a single text file — like robots.txt. Host it yourself or let Argo host it at a clean URL. Either way, the file is yours.

01
Drop it · yourdomain.com/factory.md

One text file at the root of your site — like robots.txt. Agents fetch it directly, no platform required.

Self-host
02
Or host with Argo · argotrade.io/f/your-slug

Get a hosted page on our CDN with the same file. Custom domains supported on Pro.

Hosted
03
No lock-in · spec is open

The format is maintained independently at factoryschema.org. Take your factory.md to any platform that reads the standard.

§ 04 / Get Found
§ 04 / Get Found Agent Ranking

From invisible to prioritized.

SEO ranks pages for humans. Agent ranking is different — it's about whether your data is structured, valid, and current.

Visibility curve
01
Invisible · PDFs and email

Your factory data lives in attachments and inboxes. Agents can't parse it.

No data
02
Discoverable · factory.md live

You publish a factory.md. Agents query your capabilities, certifications, and capacity.

Indexed
03
Prioritized · verified + fresh

Verified profiles, schema-valid fields, and a recent update timestamp tend to surface first in agent matching.

Ranked
"The factories that are machine-readable today will be the ones AI agents recommend tomorrow."
