Square, a commerce platform owned by Block Inc., has transitioned its AI business agent, Squaremates, out of beta. The tool is now generally available to sellers across the United States. Previously known as Managerbot, the agent entered open beta testing in April.
Each agent operates within a secure workspace equipped with cloud compute capabilities, allowing for complex tasks such as identifying lapsed customers or drafting discount offers. A beta feature currently enables the agent to generate restocking orders on supplier websites.
For businesses preferring existing AI solutions, Square introduced a command-line interface and an updated Model Context Protocol server. These tools allow third-party assistants to access account data and perform actions via Square APIs.
Developers and sellers can use the CLI to create custom applications, such as labor management tools. While most announced features are available at no extra cost, Squaremates is not yet supported for users on the Multi-Account Suite.
