🎉 UCP 2026-08 release is out. MASSIVE upgrade.
👉🏻 shopify.com/ucp/2026-08/
Agents can prove their identity and negotiate identity providers for the buyer; read the terms that govern a purchase down to the individual line item; split a payment across instruments (e.g. gift cards) without splitting the checkout; negotiate payment terms and schedules (due now vs. later); find nearby physical stores that carry what they need; transact in any unit (each, weight, length, whatever); navigate a 3DS challenge with new action primitives; use and build cart permalinks that can travel anywhere a URL can go (QR codes, email, chat), ..., and SO. MUCH. MORE.
88 improvements. 40 contributors. 21 weeks.
Agents: time to cook!

this OpenClaw bot finds warehouse owners & books them solar deals on autopilot...
here's how solar business owners can use it to close $500k+ commercial installs:
- scans 1000s of warehouses via satellite imagery
- scores every roof by size, sun hours & payback
- pierces the LLC to find the actual human owner (not info@)
- renders their building with panels on it + 25-yr savings
- ships them a personalized microsite at their company name
- follows up across email, sms & linkedin
- books calls straight to the calendar 24/7
reply "SOLAR" + RT and i'll send you the full breakdown of how you can do it too (must be following so i can dm)

Jim Cramer asked Jensens why companies are laying people off if AI is supposed to make everyone MORE productive.
Jensen's answer:
"For companies with imagination, you will do more with more. For companies where the leadership is just out of ideas, they have nothing else to do. They have no reason to imagine greater than they are. When they have more capability, they don't do more."

the Live Globe is back but with a twist
it’s in a pinball machine and you can actually play
➡️ every arc is an order
➡️ every burst of confetti is a first sale
when merchants hit milestones, you unlock surprises
tinker around. there’s more than meets the globe
