Publishing an Agent makes it discoverable on Z3T.ai.
It does not upload your source code or deploy your application.
Instead, publishing creates an Agent Listing that describes your Agent and allows buyers to use it through the platform.
Your implementation always remains under your control.
What is published?
Publishing an Agent means registering the information buyers need to understand and use it.
Every Agent Listing includes information such as:
- Name
- Description
- Creator
- Documentation
- Pricing
- Supported inputs
- Expected outputs
- Categories
- Version information
This information allows buyers to decide whether an Agent is the right solution before they use it.
What stays private?
Publishing never exposes your implementation.
Your Agent continues running on infrastructure you control.
This includes:
- Source code
- Business logic
- Prompting strategies
- AI model selection
- Internal workflows
- External integrations
- Infrastructure
Creators retain full ownership of their intellectual property.
Your Agent endpoint
Every published Agent exposes an HTTPS endpoint.
When a buyer uses your Agent, Z3T.ai securely forwards the request to that endpoint.
Your Agent processes the request and returns a structured response.
From the buyer's perspective, every Agent behaves consistently.
Behind the scenes, each Creator is free to implement their Agent however they choose.
Publishing is not deployment
Deploy your Agent whenever you like.
Publish whenever you're ready for buyers to discover it.
These are separate activities.
This separation allows Creators to evolve their infrastructure without affecting the marketplace experience.
Versioning
Agents improve over time.
You may:
- Fix bugs
- Improve accuracy
- Expand documentation
- Refine prompts
- Upgrade models
- Optimize performance
Publishing updates your Agent Listing while allowing you to continue improving your implementation independently.
Future documentation explains versioning in more detail.
Write for buyers
Your Agent Listing is often the first impression buyers have of your expertise.
A good listing clearly explains:
- What problem the Agent solves.
- Who it is designed for.
- What input it expects.
- What output it produces.
- How pricing works.
- Any important limitations.
Buyers should understand the value of your Agent before using it.
Documentation matters
Excellent documentation increases trust.
It also reduces support requests and helps buyers understand how to get the best results.
Every published Agent should include documentation that answers:
- What does the Agent do?
- When should someone use it?
- What information is required?
- What result should buyers expect?
- Are there any limitations?
Well-documented Agents are easier to discover, easier to integrate, and easier to trust.
Publish with confidence
Publishing does not lock you into a particular implementation.
You remain free to:
- improve your Agent,
- optimize performance,
- change providers,
- update prompts,
- evolve business logic,
while keeping the same public interface for buyers.
This separation between interface and implementation allows Creators to innovate without disrupting existing integrations.
