Procurement is going agentic

Be the manufacturer AI recommends first

AI agents are deciding which factories get in front of buyers. factory.md makes your capabilities, certifications, and capacity machine-readable — so you get found when it matters.

How It Works

From invisible to AI-ready in three steps

No JSON to write, no servers to configure. Argo INFRA handles the entire pipeline from your existing documents to a live, queryable factory profile.

Step 1

Generate

Upload your docs, paste your website, or fill out a form. Our AI reads catalogs, cert sheets, and spec documents — then builds your machine-readable factory profile automatically.

Step 2

Publish

Add the file to your own website — or let Argo host it for you. Either way, AI agents can instantly read your capabilities, certifications, and capacity.

Step 3

Get Found

AI procurement agents query the Argo Registry. Your factory appears in search results, receives RFQs directly, and climbs agent rankings over time.

Built on the factory.md open standard — no vendor lock-in.

Discovery

The Argo Registry — where agents find factories

A searchable, verified directory of AI-ready factories. Query by capability, certification, capacity, or location — through a web UI, REST API, or MCP server.

Verified Directory

Browse and filter factories by capability, location, certifications, and capacity. Every profile is schema-validated.

MCP Server

Connect any AI agent directly to the registry via Model Context Protocol. Your agent discovers and queries factories natively.

REST API

Programmatic access to the full registry. Search, filter, and retrieve factory.md profiles for integration into your procurement stack.

API Request
GET /api/v1/factories
    ?capability=cut-and-sew
    &certification=GOTS
    &moq_max=1000
    &location=IN

Designed to Be Read by AI

Ask the registry anything

This is a live demo. The AI is querying real structured factory.md data from the Argo Registry — the same data available via our MCP server and REST API.

Machine-readable by default

factory.md is structured data that any AI agent can parse and query without scraping or guessing.

Instant answers

No scraping websites, no parsing PDFs. AI agents get precise, structured answers about capabilities, certifications, and capacity.

Works everywhere

Any AI tool that speaks MCP or REST can connect. Claude, ChatGPT, custom procurement agents — they all read factory.md.

Agentic SEO

From invisible to prioritized

SEO was about Google rankings. The next frontier is agent rankings — how AI procurement tools decide which factories to recommend. Argo INFRA gets you there.

Invisible

Your factory data lives in PDFs and emails. AI agents can't find you. You rely on word-of-mouth and trade shows.

Discoverable

You publish a factory.md. Agents can query your capabilities, certifications, and capacity. You appear in search results.

Prioritized

Verified data, response history, and freshness scores push you to the top. Agents recommend you first.

"The factories that are machine-readable today will be the ones AI agents recommend tomorrow."

Open Standard

One file. Your website. Your control.

factory.md is an open standard maintained independently at factoryschema.org. It's a single file you control — host it on your own website, move it anywhere, use it with any platform. No account required, no platform dependency, no strings attached.

Drop It On Your Site

factory.md is a single file — like robots.txt or favicon.ico. Add it to your website and any AI agent can read your capabilities instantly.

No Vendor Lock-in

You own your factory.md. It lives on your domain, under your control. No walled garden, no platform dependency — leave anytime and take everything with you.

Interoperable

Any platform, agent, or tool that reads factory.md can discover your factory. Argo just makes it effortless to generate and keep it fresh.
