See exactly how your brand appears in five AI models’ answers, and publish the content that changes it.
AI is already selling. Make sure it can sell you.
Herm takes your brand from mentioned in ChatGPT to receipt-verified sales: AI visibility, a feed agents can sell from, consented personalization, and outcomes proven by verified receipts, not inferred from clicks.

Beat 1 is where visibility tools stop. Herm is built for beats 2 and 3.
AI Commerce Readiness is a ladder. Every brand has a position on all four rungs.
Herm is the only platform that runs the whole climb, and rung one starts today.
Each rung uses evidence appropriate to the job, not clicks.
Specs, price, stock, and a where-to-buy that actually ships to the shopper.
Send the options your site could already show; Herm returns the order for a connected shopper. Your brand never receives the shopper’s profile.
Convert verified category shoppers who buy from everyone but you: a funnel that ends in verified revenue.
Scale on AI. From five AI surfaces to thousands of AI apps: proven.

Herm AI Visibility Index
Discovery moved. Checkout is moving. Attribution never existed.
Shoppers ask, agents answer.
Buying decisions are increasingly made inside a conversation your analytics never sees. If your products aren't legible to the models, you're not losing the click: you're absent from the consideration set.
Answers are becoming transactions.
Recommendation and purchase are collapsing toward one surface. Today the answer routes the shopper to checkout, and a brand that is visible but not sellable (no live feed, no destination that ships to them) gets mentioned and skipped. In-chat payment arrives per region; brands on the ladder are ready the day it does.
The receipt closes the loop.
When the purchase completes, the verified receipt flows back: proof the sale happened, a richer profile for the shopper, a better answer next time. What still doesn't exist, for us or for anyone, is the identifier that would tie that receipt to the specific answer that started it. We publish exactly where that join breaks.
Nobody needs a new job title for this.
Every rung of AI Commerce Readiness lands on a role you already have. The score has four sub-scores for exactly this reason: one number per owner, one ladder over all of them.
Owns the answer. Watches what five models say about the category every week, and ships the content that changes it.

Learn more →Owns the signed-in relationship. Lets its own surfaces ask Herm which option fits a connected shopper, and gets back the order, never the profile.
Learn more →Owns the number. A funnel that ends in verified revenue: the receipt-backed answer to "is this actually producing sales."
Learn more →One person convenes the four. That's the job the Readiness Score was built for.

Tracking mentions is table stakes: we do it too, on rung one. Readiness is everything that has to be true after the mention.
Every “—” in the left column is a sale you can’t complete or a result you can’t prove.

Questions
Is AI-driven shopping actually big enough to matter yet?
By the time it shows up in your analytics, the canonical sources are set: models learn from what's published now. Readiness is cheap today and expensive later; the score tells you in two minutes how exposed you are.
Is this just another AI visibility tool?
Visibility gets you mentioned. AI Commerce Readiness gets you mentioned, sellable, relevant, and preferred. Visibility is rung one of four. Full definition: herm.io/for-brands/readiness.
What's live today, honestly?
Three of the four rungs are live today and Customer Intelligence is early access. The four rungs are Brand Visibility, Product Readiness, Customer Intelligence and Offers. AI Distribution (the destination) is roadmap. We'd rather show you state chips than promises.
Do you train AI models on our data?
No. We do not train models on shopper data, and we do not train models on your brand’s data. Where we use third-party AI services, we use them under terms that prohibit the provider from training on what we send, and we send no shopper data to them. Nothing a brand sends through the Decision API is retained for training or any purpose beyond resolving that session’s request.
What does the consumer side have to do with us?
The consumer app is where shoppers choose to connect with a brand and decide what it may use. That permission is what lets your site ask Herm for decisions, and the profile behind them stays with Herm. Two sides, one loop.
How fast is setup?
The score is instant and free. Brand Visibility: minutes, self-serve. Product Readiness: one feed connection (Google Merchant or Shopify), then continuous sync.
Find out how ready you are. It takes two minutes.
