Introducing AgentHub: The Alysium Marketplace

TL;DR: AgentHub is Alysium's built-in marketplace where creators list AI agents at per-conversation pricing and earn directly via Stripe Connect. Buyers browse, filter, and install agents without an Alysium account required. Creators apply for status, get admin approval, configure their listing, and connect Stripe. No third-party billing infrastructure needed.

AgentHub is the marketplace built into Alysium where creators list their AI agents for sale and buyers discover and purchase access to them.

The basic model: a coach builds a methodology agent, applies for creator status on Alysium, sets a per-conversation price, and lists it on AgentHub. A buyer finds the listing, installs the agent, pays per conversation, and gets access to the coach's expertise on demand. The coach earns via Stripe Connect on each transaction. No scheduling. No live sessions. No manual invoicing.

How It Works for Creators

To sell on AgentHub, you apply for creator status through a form that asks for your legal name, a bio explaining your creator goals, and optionally a website and sample agents. Applications go to Alysium admins for review. Only approved creators can publish listings — this keeps the marketplace quality-controlled.

Once approved, you configure your listing from the agent builder's Deploy tab. You write a description covering what the agent does and who it's for, choose a category, set your per-conversation pricing (free or credit-based), and write preview text for search results. Submit for admin approval. Once approved, your listing goes live immediately.

Listing management is flexible after approval: you can update your description, pricing, and category at any time without re-approval — changes take effect for new buyers immediately, while existing buyers keep the version they installed.

How It Works for Buyers

Buyers visit AgentHub to browse listings. They can search by text, filter by category and price (free vs paid), and sort by most popular, newest, or highest rated. Each listing shows the agent's name, creator, description excerpt, average star rating, review count, and pricing.

When a buyer clicks Install, free agents install instantly and paid agents show a confirmation with the credit cost. The installed agent appears in the buyer's workspace. Buyers always receive the agent version that existed at the time of purchase — future creator updates don't change the installed copy.

After using an agent, buyers can leave a star rating (1–5) with an optional written review. Reviews are public immediately and editable by the buyer at any time.

The Income Projection Simulator

When you set paid pricing on a listing, Alysium shows an income projection tool. Enter your target earnings per message, expected monthly conversations, and average messages per conversation — it calculates projected monthly and annual revenue. These are planning estimates, not guaranteed figures, and aren't connected to live marketplace data.

Payout Mechanics

Earnings route to your connected Stripe account on Stripe's standard settlement schedule. Connect Stripe from the Creator Dashboard — Alysium redirects you to Stripe's hosted onboarding where Stripe collects your business and banking information. Once connected, payouts happen automatically as earnings accumulate. The Creator Dashboard shows this month's earnings, pending payout, lifetime earnings, and per-agent breakdowns.

What Gets Listed on AgentHub

Not every agent is right for the marketplace. The listings that perform best share a few characteristics: they solve a specific, named problem for a clearly defined audience, the creator has credibility in the topic (and has configured the About Profile to show it), and the per-conversation price reflects a fair exchange for the value delivered.

An agent priced at $5 per conversation needs to deliver $5 of value clearly visible from the listing description. An agent priced at $0.50 per conversation can be more of a utility — something used frequently at low friction. The income projection simulator helps you think through what price point works at what volume.

How Buyers Experience AgentHub

From the buyer side, AgentHub is a searchable catalog. They can search by name, description, or tags, filter by category or price (free vs. paid), and sort by most popular, newest, or highest rated. Each listing shows the agent's name, creator profile excerpt, category, average star rating, and pricing.

After installing and using an agent, buyers can leave a star rating and written review. Reviews are public immediately. As a creator, this is your public reputation — your listing description sets expectations, and your agent's performance determines whether reviews confirm or undercut those expectations. There's no shortcut here: the review is based on the conversation the buyer actually had.

Version History as a Buyer Protection

Every time you publish an update to your agent, Alysium saves a complete snapshot of the state: instructions, model, parameters, widget configuration, and documents. Buyers always receive the version that existed at their purchase date.

This matters more than it might seem. If you significantly change your agent's focus or behavior after someone has bought it, their copy isn't affected. The version history is the technical mechanism that makes the marketplace trustworthy for buyers — they know that what they bought stays what they bought.

Building Toward a Catalog

Some creators build one agent and sell it. Others build a catalog — agents for different audience segments, different problems, different price points. The mechanics are the same for each: apply for creator status once, configure each listing independently, manage income from all of them in a single Creator Dashboard view.

A consultant might have a methodology agent for clients ($3/conversation), a general introductory agent for prospects ($0.50/conversation), and a deep-dive scenario agent for a specific framework ($8/conversation). Three listings, three audiences, one income stream managed from one dashboard.

Ready to list? Start on Alysium — apply for creator status once you've built your first agent.

Getting Approved for Creator Status

The application is simple: your legal name, a short bio about why you want to become a creator, and optionally a website URL and a few sample agents from your existing library. Alysium admins review applications and approve creators before they can publish listings.

The review step exists for a reason — it keeps the marketplace quality-controlled and trustworthy for buyers. Once approved, you can publish as many listings as you want without re-applying. Each listing goes through its own admin approval, but that's a quick review of the listing content, not a new creator evaluation.

The Short Version on AgentHub

Apply once, list as many agents as you want. Set your per-conversation price. Connect Stripe. Earn when buyers use your agents. The Creator Dashboard shows your earnings in real time. The income projection simulator helps you price before you list. The version history protects buyers from your future updates breaking their installed copy.

If you're not sure whether your agent is ready to list, ask: would I pay for this? Would someone who doesn't know me pay for this? Those two questions filter out most premature listings. Build something you'd use yourself first.

The marketplace is the infrastructure most individual creators would never build themselves. That's the point — it shouldn't require a developer to earn from your expertise.
