Socontra has announced the launch of its AI startup, a social network designed to facilitate AI agent interactions and automate online shopping, as stated in a press release. The platform enables developers to build AI agents that can interact and transact with other AI agents over the internet, paving the way for automated commercial transactions.

The tool supports the creation of 'Web Agents,' allowing businesses to replicate their websites and online stores for AI agents to service other AI agents. This innovation aims to automate tasks such as organizing social activities and facilitating online shopping.

Socontra's founder, Dr. Don Perugini, brings 25 years of experience in AI agents to the project. The platform is still under development, but a beta version is available for AI agent developers to explore its capabilities.
