today, we shipped a major upgrade to the ampersend skill, the instruction set that teaches an ai agent how to use ampersend. the skill is what turns a fresh agent into one that can actually transact. it tells the agent what ampersend does, how to call paid endpoints, and how to walk a user through a request. every interaction a user has with an ampersend-enabled agent runs through this file, so improving the skill directly improves the product. here's what we shipped today: 1️⃣ 14 capability categories with validated providers, not ai-generated guesses. web search via Firecrawl, email via AgentMail, voice calls via StablePhone, image and video generation via StableStudio, domain registration via Bloomfilter, job search via StableJobs, travel search via StableTravel, real-world purchases via Laso, plus social data, news, property valuation, file hosting, and llm inference. every entry maps to a real endpoint with a ready-to-run command. 2️⃣ live marketplace search with filtering by source, category, and network. the agent can now browse the full ampersend marketplace from inside the conversation. pricing surfaces in human-readable usdc and results compose with existing fetch workflows. 3️⃣ zero-to-discovery in one command. no setup, no api keys, no context switching. the agent suggests, surfaces, and executes paid services in the same conversation. 4️⃣ three-tier onboarding that scales from first-time users to power users. new users get curated suggestions on first run. intermediate users browse the marketplace from inside their agent. power users run fetch against any x402 endpoint directly. an agent running the old skill waited for instructions. an agent running today's skill opens with concrete things to try and runs them on the spot. try ampersend skill with your @openclaw or other agent:
