Watch the demo

Everything in the film is the live production app. Nothing is mocked: the buyer agent searches real catalogs and negotiates with two merchant agents on camera, creates a PayPal AUTHORIZE order, and the seller's AI assistant answers from real store numbers. The only edit is that the agent's waiting time is sped up, and a badge on screen says so. The film is produced by code in scripts/video/: screencast takes, animated slides, neural voice-over and an original synthesized score (docs/video-studio.md).

What is Parley?

Parley is an agentic procurement platform for solopreneurs and micro-businesses — the procurement department they can't afford. A parley is a conference between two parties; here it's literal — a buyer agent negotiates with merchant-side agents, and PayPal settles the deal.

An Etsy seller, a freelancer, a corner café — they all buy supplies, but none of them have a procurement team. They overpay because they can't compare and negotiate at scale, and they eat the risk when a vendor doesn't deliver: card charges are instant, disputes are slow, and "buyer protection" is a claim process, not a control. Parley inverts that — the agent compares and negotiates, PayPal holds the funds in escrow, and money only moves when the goods arrive.

Entry for the PayPal AI Hackathon.

[!IMPORTANT] Verified working today — live deployment on Render + Neon, real product search via Channel3, agent-to-agent negotiation against a real merchant-side LLM agent, deterministic policy gate, the full AUTHORIZE → capture/void escrow round-trip against PayPal sandbox, shipment-tracking-aware delivery detection, formal PayPal invoices, and an autonomous reorder engine guarded by the same policy. Nothing claimed here exceeds what the code does.

Try it live — judge access

https://parley-wt1k.onrender.com — two accounts, two sides of the same market. Password for both: ParleyJudgeDemo26 (type buyer1 / seller1 straight into the login field — email not needed)

Guided tour: /demo — credentials plus a scroll-through walkthrough of both sides, screenshot by screenshot.

Login	Role	What you'll find
buyer1	Buyer	Escrow pipeline in every stage, a negotiation transcript to replay, a ParcelPro offer in the Inbox (accept → real PayPal escrow), a seller thread in Messages, and a review waiting on My Sellers
seller1	Seller (ParcelPro Supply)	Live negotiation feed, sales ledger, Customers CRM (2 buyers + a walked lead), the buyer's unread message, and "Try your agent" — throw it a low offer and watch it counter at exactly its 85% floor

Suggested path (≈3 min): as buyer1 chat "find kraft boxes" → "negotiate the ParcelPro one" → "buy it" → approve on PayPal → Pipeline shows the escrow; as seller1 ship it with any UPS-format tracking → as buyer1 open the order → Confirm receipt → Inbox → release the payment. Then read the thread — the whole deal lifecycle is logged there. Full walkthrough: docs/demo-script.md.

A living marketplace, not a single demo path. Two more sellers (PackRight Depot, FoamLab Supply) trade with buyer1, and two more buyers (maria, ken) trade with seller1. Between them you'll find multiple threads with pinned terms and photo evidence, a delivery dispute resolved in the thread, open and declined offers, walked negotiations, reorder rules and price watches, spread across context-specific spaces like Bakery launch.

No-login preview: the seller's public storefront lives at /s/parcelpro-supply — catalog, promo pricing, buyer reviews, and vendor score. Every seller on Parley gets one.

Sandbox note: SEED-* rows are staged fixtures — the release flow answers cleanly on them, but only an order actually bought and approved in-session has a live PayPal authorization behind it.
