What Is the Agentic Fulfillment Protocol?
And why we had to build it.

It started with a real problem.

Back at Taylor & Hart, sourcing custom jewelry across borders was chaos. That frustration led us to build Nivoda. Not a marketplace. A system. One that became the most advanced coordination platform in the jewelry industry.

It didn’t just list products.

It handled sourcing, logistics, FX, customs, fulfillment, customer experience.

All of it. Invisibly.

At first, we thought we were just fixing supply chain pain. But as the system evolved, something clicked. This wasn’t just software. It was a way for intent to move through the world and come out the other side as reality.

That’s the Agentic Fulfillment Protocol.

AFP lets a single prompt trigger a full chain of real-world execution: sourcing, pricing, tax handling, production, payments, logistics, returns. Across multiple systems, suppliers, and countries.

It makes AI useful. Not just smart.

Why does the world need AFP?

Because agents today can’t actually close.

They don’t know:

• If a product is actually in stock
• What the full landed cost will be
• If the seller is legitimate
• How to split payments across borders
• How to handle taxes or returns
• What to do when something breaks

They can suggest.
But they can’t transact.

That’s the gap.
AFP solves it.

What AFP actually does

• Understands the product
• Verifies the supplier
• Calculates cost, tax, duty, FX
• Clears payment across borders
• Routes goods through customs
• Manages production or delivery
• Handles returns or exceptions
• Feeds outcomes back to the agent

It all happens behind the scenes.
But it’s the reason anything happens at all.

Why jewelry?

Because it’s hard.

A single engagement ring might involve:

• A center stone from India
• Melee from China
• Side stones from Antwerp
• Setting made in Italy
• Final piece assembled and polished in the UK

AFP brings it all together.

Every cost calculated in advance.

Every part verified.

Margins protected on a product that didn’t even exist yet.

What we’ve already built

• Move over $300 million a year in high-trust goods
• Operate in more than 80 countries
• Run payments, taxes, shipping, and returns across borders
• Connect verified suppliers, retailers, and platforms
• Enrich every product with trust, availability, and pricing logic
• Handle the mess behind the scenes so customers never have to see it

What’s next

The future of jewelry is intelligent.

AI agents can now help design and deliver beautiful pieces. But they still need the right systems to bring those ideas to life.

That’s what we’ve built.

The Agentic Fulfillment Protocol is the infrastructure behind Nivoda. It connects design, manufacturing, logistics, and trust into one seamless flow.

A customer speaks their vision. A piece is created. Every part of the process is supported by technology, guided by taste, and handled with care.

This is how intent becomes reality.

This is the Agentic Fulfillment Protocol.
