Publishers: AI Agent Marketplace Creators

Publishers are community members who develop and publish AI agents to the Frega marketplace, earning revenue share when other users subscribe.

Current Status: Developer program launches Q2 2026. We anticipate strong adoption from publishers creating increasingly sophisticated agents.

What Is a Publisher?

A Publisher is someone who creates specialized AI tools (called AI agents) using Azure Foundry and makes them available to the entire Frega community through our marketplace.

The Opportunity

Publishers can:

  • Build AI agents that solve specific problems for businesses or customers
  • Make their tools available to a wide range of users
  • Earn ongoing remuneration based on active subscriptions
  • Focus on development while Frega handles distribution, payments, and compliance
  • Contribute to a growing library that benefits the entire community

How It Works

Development Environment

Publishers work within a secure Azure Foundry sandbox environment provided by Frega:

  • Azure Integration: Full access to Azure AI services and tools
  • Secure Sandbox: Isolated development environment with controlled data access
  • GDPR Compliant: Strict data access controls protect user privacy
  • Testing Tools: Comprehensive testing before marketplace publication
  • Version Control: Manage updates and improvements

Publishing Process

  1. Development: Build your AI agent using Azure Foundry tools
  2. Testing: Thoroughly test functionality and user experience
  3. Compliance Review: Frega reviews for GDPR and data access compliance
  4. Publication: Agent goes live in the marketplace
  5. Distribution: Users can discover and subscribe to your agent
  6. Remuneration: Earn ongoing fees from subscriptions

Revenue Model

Subscription Pricing

AI Agents are priced at a standard $2.50 per month per agent subscription.

Revenue Share Structure

When someone subscribes to your agent at $2.50/month:

  • Publisher: Receives a revenue share of the subscription
  • Token Costs: Portion covers AI processing costs
  • Distribution & Support: Remainder covers platform operation, payment processing, compliance, and support

Frega handles all aspects of:

  • Payment collection
  • Subscription management
  • Customer support
  • Compliance and legal requirements
  • Marketplace discovery and promotion

What Makes a Good AI Agent?

Problem-Solving Focus

The most successful agents will solve specific, real problems:

  • Business Tools: Inventory management, scheduling, customer communication
  • Customer Helpers: Budget tracking, deal finding, purchase planning
  • Productivity Tools: Task automation, document processing, data analysis
  • Specialized Functions: Industry-specific solutions, niche use cases

Integration Capabilities

Agents can:

  • Collaborate with Nova (Frega's core AI assistant)
  • Work together with other agents
  • Access Frega data (with proper GDPR permissions)
  • Integrate with Growth Points, Chat, and other platform features

User Experience

Successful agents provide:

  • Clear, intuitive interfaces
  • Reliable, consistent performance
  • Helpful documentation and examples
  • Responsive to user needs

Privacy and Data Access

Strict GDPR Compliance

The entire publisher program is governed by strict data protection rules:

  • Secure Sandbox: Development occurs in isolated environment
  • Controlled Data Access: Access only to data explicitly permitted by users
  • Compliance Review: Every agent reviewed before publication
  • Audit Trail: All data access logged and monitored
  • User Control: Users can revoke agent permissions anytime

This protects community privacy while enabling powerful agent capabilities.

The Vision: Progressive Replacement

Over time, Frega's AI agent marketplace aims to create a library of specialized tools that progressively replace traditional single-purpose applications.

Instead of buying separate apps for:

  • Inventory management
  • Email marketing
  • Customer tracking
  • Social media scheduling
  • Budget analysis

Users subscribe to agents that:

  • Work together seamlessly
  • Share data (with permission)
  • All accessible from one platform
  • Priced affordably ($2.50/month each)
  • Constantly improving through publisher updates

This creates an ever-growing ecosystem where community members build tools that benefit everyone.

Expected Growth

We anticipate rapid growth in the AI agent marketplace once it launches:

Why We Expect Fast Adoption

  • Developer Opportunity: Clear revenue model with automatic distribution
  • User Demand: Businesses and customers need specialized tools
  • Low Barrier to Entry: Azure Foundry makes development accessible
  • Network Effects: More agents = more value = more users = more agent demand
  • Community-Driven: Publishers understand user needs directly

Increasingly Sophisticated

As publishers gain experience and the platform evolves, agents will become:

  • More powerful and feature-rich
  • Better integrated with each other
  • More specialized for niche use cases
  • Smarter through AI improvements
  • More essential to daily platform usage
