Running the infrastructure behind ecommerce storefronts
Commerce infrastructure came first. Commerce AI is what it made possible.
Webscale AI is the commerce AI line from Webscale Networks, a company that has run the infrastructure behind ecommerce storefronts since 2013. We spent over a decade making sure merchants stayed online through Black Friday spikes and flash sales. That work is still underneath everything we build.

Real-time
The commerce data layer we built before the industry had a name for it
The shift
The storefront isn’t the only place shoppers are buying anymore
Shoppers already research and buy through ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI surfaces, and the open standards that let AI agents discover, compare and check out products, coming out of Google, OpenAI and Anthropic, are shipping now, not someday.

A merchant’s product data has to be accurate, real-time and structured enough for an agent to read it correctly, or that merchant is invisible in the fastest-growing channel in commerce. We built the real-time data layer this requires over a decade ago, before the industry had a name for it. Now we help merchants get their catalog, pricing and account data ready to be read, trusted and transacted on by agents, on the storefront and off it.
Who we serve
Built for the merchants keyword search fails
We work with direct-to-consumer and B2B merchants, with our sharpest focus on small and mid-market businesses. The ones who feel this most:
Regulated categories
Firearms, cannabis and alcohol, where a wrong answer isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a compliance risk with real penalties attached.
B2B distributors
Managing account-specific contract pricing across huge catalogs, where every buyer sees a different, correct number.
Specialty retailers
Whose shoppers need to ask a real question (a symptom, a use case, a fitment detail) to find the right product.
We understood their infrastructure long before we understood their AI, and that’s exactly why we know what their data needs to get right.

Commerce AI you can trust
Real-time inventory that’s actually real-time, pricing that’s actually current, and answers pulled from a merchant’s real catalog instead of guessed. We spent thirteen years earning that at the infrastructure layer. We’re earning it in AI (and in whatever sells next) the same way.
