Ground — legally Cheres, Inc (dba Ground), 20 Exchange Place, New York — is an AI-native revenue platform for consumer and e-commerce brands, delivering autonomous "AI revenue agents" that work across the customer lifecycle. Its named agents are Greet AI for first-touch conversion of new visitors, ReCartify for identity resolution, ReBeat AI for repeat purchase and winback, and Terra for repetitive marketer tasks. Ground positions itself as Growth-as-a-Service, plugging into a brand's existing stack — Shopify, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Attentive, Postscript, Yotpo, Meta Ads and Amped — with a stated 15-minute, no-developer setup. It is Techstars-backed and ships a free Shopify App Store listing. Ground publishes product documentation, a blog, an FAQ and a machine-readable llms.txt, and its robots.txt carries an explicit Cloudflare Content Signals AI-use reservation (search=yes, ai-train=no, use=reference). It publishes no public API, OpenAPI, MCP server, SDK, webhook catalog or developer portal: the platform is delivered as managed connectors into the tools a brand already runs, and every commercial path terminates in a demo booking.
Ground AI is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Artificial Intelligence, Commerce, and Revenue.
Ground AI’s developer surface includes pricing, documentation, engineering blog, support, and 9 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

rejected_candidates:
- source: https://github.com/ground-ai/docs (api-reference/openapi.yaml)
reason: Real, parsing OpenAPI 3.1.0, but it belongs to a DIFFERENT company. The spec says so about itself — info.title
"Ground's API", servers[] https://platform.ground.dev, contact contact@ground.dev, and a description stating "The Ground
API allows developers to create RAGs" with endpoints at www.ground.dev/api/. The sibling mint.json points at https://platform.bound.dev/api
and https://grounddev.slack.com. That is ground.dev, a RAG/vector-search product, not Cheres, Inc (dba Ground) at joinground.com.
NOT SAVED.
- source: https://www.postman.com/joinground
reason: HTTP 200 is Postman's single-page-app catch-all. The Postman search API returns 0 results of every kind for "joinground".
No public collection or workspace exists.
- source: https://trust.joinground.com/
reason: Wildcard *.joinground.com resolves to Vercel; the host answers 429 with a "Vercel Security Checkpoint" interstitial
on every path. Not a trust center.
