Most of the web breaks the moment an AI agent tries to buy. Monique Garcia is working to change that. As CEO of Aidō Lighthouse, she leads the team building the infrastructure that decides whether an AI agent can find, understand, and buy from a brand at all. They scan e-commerce sites the way an agent would, then work with brands to fix what breaks, right down to the code. Across 10+ industries, the pattern holds: the web was built for people, and the agents now showing up to buy can't use it yet.
