AX = Agent Experience — what DX was to developers, AX is to agents.

What this is

apps.ax is the store-residence directory: the estate's own directory of agent-installable apps, skills, and MCP servers.

Agent-installable software lives in three residences:

• byo — you bring the app; the agent runs it where you say
• hosted — the app runs on the vendor's estate; the agent connects
• store — the app is listed, discovered, and installed from a directory

apps.ax owns the third. Initially a thin index of the estate's own MCP servers; the directory grows from there.

What it will do

Every listing is agent-actionable through the standard AX machine surfaces — llms.txt, /.well-known/agents.json, /icp.json, content negotiation (curl gets markdown), OpenAPI, MCP, a keyless trial flow, HTTP 402 with a machine-readable offer, linkset, and attestation. An agent can discover a listing, self-classify against it, try it without a signup wall, pay by 402-offer, and verify it by signed evidence.

Why

The web has a human row and an agent row (B2A, and B2H2A where a human gate is crossed). Humans get per-venue app stores; the agent row gets one brand family (*.ax) and one directory that serves — never homes — the software agents install.

Status

Reserving the name for the live service: https://apps.ax (coming). The agent-row index lives at https://apis.ax.
