Guy Wuollet proposed adapting UniswapX’s order-filling model for dining, travel and business purchases, using hypothetical examples rather than describing a live service.
a16z crypto General Partner Guy Wuollet argued Tuesday, Nov. 10, that AI agents could use networks modeled on crypto’s intent-based trading to arrange purchases for dining, travel and business procurement.
Wuollet pointed to UniswapX as a model. The system lets a user describe what a token trade should accomplish, then allows competing fillers to carry out the order. He suggested adapting that approach to match an agent’s request with businesses able to fulfill it.
In one dining scenario, an agent looks for a table for six at less than $60 per person. A separate payment example has an agent offer $300 for a meal that a restaurant is willing to provide for $270. Both examples are hypothetical designs, not reported bookings or payments.
“Most networks have been built for humans. We need them for machines,” Wuollet wrote.
He presented dining, travel and business purchases as areas founders might explore. The essay describes a possible use for agent networks; it does not announce a product, marketplace or completed transaction.
