Wedge
Install on high-intent product and landing pages for fashion brands that already buy traffic and need better conversion without manually creating infinite variants.
YC MVP brief
The wedge is not another admin assistant. The wedge is a shopper-facing commerce runtime: a clothing storefront that rewrites itself when the shopper keeps inspecting fabric, fit, price, care, or utility details.
Install on high-intent product and landing pages for fashion brands that already buy traffic and need better conversion without manually creating infinite variants.
The live store behaves like a normal premium clothing shop, then changes product copy, order, image direction, popup, and remarketing draft based on repeated product-zone attention.
When the buyer is an AI agent, the store exposes product facts, policies, cart preparation, and confirmation rules as tools instead of making the agent scrape pixels.
No mental-health claims, no hidden price changes, no automatic payment, no PII requirement. Behavior labels describe the session, not the person.
