What we changed when we removed the marketplace

We had a marketplace. Creators could publish agents, users could install them, money would change hands. It was the second-most-asked-about feature on every demo.

It also confused everyone. "Is this Amy, or is this a creator's agent running on Amy?" "Who do I pay?" "Whose prompt is this?" The marketplace bolted a second product onto the first, and the seam showed.

We deleted it. The pricing collapsed to one currency — credits — and the elevator pitch went from two sentences to one. Sometimes the right move is to ship less surface, not more.
