How AP2, Visa TAP, Mastercard Agent Pay, and x402 answer that — and what merchants actually need to do.</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>agentic-commerce</category><category>payments</category><category>protocols</category><author>Neural Partners</author></item><item><title>The Agentic Readiness Index: Home Services Edition</title><link>https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-readiness-index-home-services/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-readiness-index-home-services/</guid><description>We scanned 623 plumbing, HVAC and electrical contractors three times over. One in three is reachable only by phone as far as an AI agent is concerned, and not one has built an agent interface.</description><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>agentic-commerce</category><category>ai-strategy</category><author>Neural Partners</author></item><item><title>The Agentic Readiness Index: Lighting Industry Edition</title><link>https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-readiness-index-lighting-industry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-readiness-index-lighting-industry/</guid><description>We scanned 219 lighting companies for whether AI agents can find, read, and buy from them. A third are invisible to agents entirely — and almost no one built their readiness on purpose. Re-tested in August 2026 under a stricter reproduction standard; the findings hold.</description><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>agentic-commerce</category><category>ai-strategy</category><author>Neural Partners</author></item><item><title>Agentic commerce protocols, explained</title><link>https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-commerce-protocols-explained/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.neuralpartners.ai/resources/agentic-commerce-protocols-explained/</guid><description>UCP and ACP took different paths in 2026.
