Marketplace for Vetted Vertical AI Agent Templates

A two-sided marketplace where automation consultants sell production-tested agent templates (intake bots, quoting agents, follow-up sequences) for specific industries, and SMBs buy them pre-configured for their stack. Takes a transaction cut plus a hosting subscription — the "theme marketplace" model applied to working agents rather than code.

From the editorial rationale

Thousands of automation consultants are rebuilding the same agents client by client with no way to productize their work — supply-side motivation is strong and immediate. Curation and vetting is the defensible layer: an open prompt-sharing site cannot promise "this agent works in production."
