The interface has shifted.
Traditional ad models are broken in the age of LLMs. Agents need a native economic substrate.
Agents are the interface
Users no longer browse web pages; they interact with agentic workflows. Direct attention is moving into LLM prompts.
No monetization logic
Current agent architectures lack standard protocols for value capture and contextual referrals within the chat loop.
OS apps lack revenue
Open-source AI tools struggle to sustain development without complex subscription models or gated features.
"I've updated your schedule. By the way, [Advertiser] offers a seamless sync tool for this specific workflow. Want to try it?"
The Native Solution
Contextual recommendations
Deeply integrated suggestions that match the agent's current task state.
Diverse Monetization
Earn through traditional impressions, high-intent referrals, or service fulfillment.
Native Integration
Zero friction for the end user. The agent speaks the recommendation naturally.
AI agent / assistant integration
Connect kone directly to your AI agent or assistant using MCP (Model Context Protocol). This enables real-time recommendation retrieval inside model responses.
To integrate, the agent must be configured with an MCP tool and a short instruction that guides when to use it.
