What Nudge does

Nudge (legal entity: Nudge Technologies Inc., Delaware-incorporated) is an enterprise SaaS platform that helps consumer brands convert AI-driven product discovery into commerce revenue. The company is built around four modules: AI Visibility (tracking brand and SKU-level mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude), Shoppable Funnels (creating prompt-aligned landing pages that match AI referral intent), Catalog Enrichment (applying schema markup and structured data at scale for AI agent readability), and Product Experiences (personalized on-site UX components). The platform integrates natively with commerce and analytics stacks including Shopify, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Meta, and BigCommerce, and structures product catalogs for compatibility with OpenAI/Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) and Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).

The company targets DTC brands and enterprise commerce teams that need to compete for visibility in AI shopping assistants. Revenue mechanics are SaaS subscription with usage-based components (pricing tied to number of prompts tracked and usage levels), supplemented by tailored enterprise plans requiring quote-based pricing. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales with a demo-led conversion motion; no self-serve tier, marketplace presence, or channel partnerships are evident. The company states SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA compliance. Founded circa 2023–2024 and headquartered in New York, Nudge is a privately held, venture-backed startup at the pre-seed stage with approximately $1.1M disclosed in funding (June 2026) plus a prior $500K Antler round (June 2024).

Core offering

Nudge is an AI commerce SaaS platform that helps consumer brands convert AI-driven product discovery into revenue. It combines three core modules—AI Visibility (tracking brand and SKU-level citations across AI platforms), Shoppable Funnels (creating prompt-aligned landing pages with A/B experimentation), and Catalog Enrichment (optimizing product catalogs with schema and conversational attributes for AI readability)—and supports Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) and Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) so AI agents can recommend and checkout natively.

Product overview

Nudge is an enterprise AI commerce platform consisting of four integrated modules: AI Visibility for tracking brand and product citations across AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini), Shoppable Funnels for creating prompt-aligned landing pages that convert AI-referred traffic, Catalog Enrichment for optimizing product data with schema markup at scale, and Product Experiences for building adaptive personalized interfaces. The platform is built specifically for commerce teams, connecting AI discovery to shopper conversion with revenue attribution tied directly to sessions, conversion, and revenue metrics.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• AI Visibility Enterprise module that tracks where and how AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude) mention a brand and its products across shopping-intent queries, surfaces citation gaps, monitors every product's visibility and rank position at SKU level, and benchmarks brand mentions against named competitors across tracked prompts. Built for DTC brands and enterprise commerce teams that need AI citation monitoring as a measurable channel.
• Shoppable Funnels Module that generates content AI platforms cite and creates intent-matched variations of product pages to convert AI-referred traffic more efficiently, with A/B experimentation that attributes conversions back to the originating AI prompt. Designed for DTC and enterprise commerce teams looking to personalize post-click experience based on the exact prompt that drove the visit.
• Catalog Enrichment Module that scans an entire product catalog to identify visibility, structure, and conversion gaps, then enriches product pages with complete schema markup (JSON-LD, Product, Offer, Review, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage schema), conversational metadata, and AI-readable attributes. Supports Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) and Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) to enable native AI-agent recommendation and checkout, and pushes fixes directly to storefronts (Shopify, BigCommerce).
• Product Experiences Module that builds personalized interfaces, including full pages and UX components that adapt contextually to real-time data, and lets commerce teams deploy stories, nudges, gamification, rewards, and surveys across web and app triggered by real-time behavioral signals.
