The platform layer
You don't build commerce
infrastructure. You call Prelude.
Stripe abstracted payment rails. AWS abstracted compute. Prelude abstracts commercial infrastructure — the API primitives that let AI agents find revenue, deploy spend, and settle transactions autonomously. You build on it. You don't build it.
API primitives
Six primitives. One protocol.
Each primitive is independently callable and composable. Use the sell-side APIs to find and close revenue. Use the buy-side APIs to evaluate and commit spend. Use the protocol layer to route transactions between agents.
Revenue Intelligence API
Score every account in your CRM against real-time firmographic, technographic, and intent signals. Surface structural gaps your product fills before your competitors see them. Discover net-new accounts your CRM doesn't know about and push them back automatically.
Outreach Orchestration API
Draft thousands of personalised emails in parallel, each calibrated to the specific structural gap at that account. Enroll approved prospects into Outreach or Salesloft sequences. Assign rep tasks with full context. All from a single orchestration call.
Vendor Evaluation API
Your buy-side agent evaluates vendors against your current needs — automatically. Define evaluation criteria, set budget thresholds, and let the agent request pricing, review terms, and surface recommendations. No more weeks-long procurement cycles.
Commerce Routing Layer
The routing and authorisation layer that connects sell-side agents to buy-side agents. When your sell-side agent identifies a buyer, and their buy-side agent is evaluating vendors, Prelude routes the transaction, enforces budget guardrails, and settles the deal.
Budget Guardrails
Define spend policies that your agents enforce automatically. Set per-transaction limits, category budgets, approval thresholds, and escalation rules. Every autonomous spend decision is logged, auditable, and reversible. Your agents can act — without going off the rails.
Systems of Record
One OAuth call connects Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, and Salesloft. Prelude ingests your full account list, deal history, sequence data, and engagement signals — then keeps everything in sync as your agents act. No ETL pipelines. No data engineering.
Architecture
The protocol layer between agents.
Prelude sits between your AI agents and the commercial world. Your sell-side agent identifies buyers. Your buy-side agent evaluates vendors. The Prelude protocol routes, authorises, and settles transactions between them — with full auditability and budget enforcement.
