Your APIs. Their AI. Under your control.
Your merchants — or your teams — want more than you can build. The backlog grows. The pressure to “do AI” is real, but you’re not handing over API keys and hoping for the best. You need a way to let users and AI do useful things with your systems without opening the vault.
Hecate is that control layer: they get to build the last mile; you stay in control. It’s being built as open source — you’ll run it, adapt it to your stack and your business, and extend it as you need. Not a company or a SaaS; a tool you can make your own.
A merchant has a need: “I need to stop shipping any products that mention ‘Gold’ and make a list for review”1.
Today that translates into: a support ticket, a custom integration, or “give ChatGPT your API key.”
With Hecate: they describe what they want; the system generates a script and shows exactly what it will access; they approve it; it runs in a sandbox and returns the answer with a full audit trail. You didn’t build the feature. They did — safely. That scales to thousands of merchants or teams.
Under the hood: time - and scope - limited permissions (no blanket access), sandboxed execution, and every use verifiable.
Over time you get a database of user intent — what people actually ask for and do — so your roadmap is shaped by real use, not guesswork.
If you run a platform or ERP and your roadmap can’t keep up with what merchants ask for — Hecate is for you. You’ll run it, tailor it to your APIs and policies, and let your merchants build their own last mile within guardrails you set.
Same idea for teams building agentic commerce or analytics: you need agents that call your backend; Hecate is the tool you’ll adapt for controlled, auditable access. And for brands and retailers: AI-powered ops or experiences without “give ChatGPT your API key and hope” — you’ll customize Hecate to your stack.
Hecate is in active development — capability engine, sandboxed execution, and demos (e.g. an e‑commerce operations assistant on top of store APIs). You’ll be able to run it, fork it, and customize it for your business; today you can work with us to get a prototype tuned to your stack.
Sign up for email updates and we’ll send you a week-long demo by email: Hecate’s core features for e‑commerce, one theme per day. No commitment. From there we’ll invite you to:
So: one signup gives you the demo and opens the door to deeper conversation. Whether you want to explore a use case, fund a prototype, or stay informed as a potential user or integration partner — start here.
Let them build. You stay in control.
