Sierra has released Personal Agent Protocol (Poppy) 1.0, with Shopify enabling it for every store. The standard controls how AI agents identify themselves and get permission to act, but its specification remains a draft.
Sierra’s Personal Agent Protocol (Poppy) 1.0 is now available across Shopify without merchants changing their setup, according to Sierra. Meta’s Muse personal AI agent also checks for Poppy first on every website it visits.
Poppy lets businesses establish who an agent represents and what it may access, using standard customer logins. On Shopify, it works alongside the existing shopping protocol, which handles carts and checkout. Agents must ask shoppers before taking certain actions.
For Shopify merchants, the rollout removes a setup step in making their stores accessible to personal AI agents. However, Sierra still labels the specification a draft and allows changes that could break existing integrations, so builders cannot yet treat it as a stable technical foundation.
Automatic availability across Shopify lowers the work merchants need to do to support visiting AI agents.
Customer-controlled permissions let shoppers restrict what their agents can access, while businesses define permitted actions.
Long-term compatibility remains unproven because the draft specification permits changes that could break integrations.
