Channel3: A database of every product on the internet

Hi! We’re George and Alex, and we’re building Channel3: a database of every product on the internet.

What?

Every time you shop on Google, Amazon, or ChatGPT, you’re querying a product database. These companies have built massive product catalogs — with pricing, availability, images, and specs — but they keep this data private. That means only the giants can build shopping experiences. Channel3 is changing that. We’re building a universal product catalog and giving every developer access.

Got it. What can I use a product database for?

Any website, app, or AI agent can boost revenue by adding commerce – without holding inventory or processing payments. You could, for example, build a kitchen co-pilot that suggests the best tools for every cook, or a fitness app that intelligently recommends equipment needed for the next class.

How do I make money with Channel3?

Monetization is built in. With Channel3, developers earn commission on every sale they drive — no chasing affiliate deals, no ads that break trust, and no subscription fees users won't pay.

Why now?

Multimodal models have only just become accurate and cheap enough to recognize products visually and semantically, letting us match duplicates across merchants, structure heaps of messy data, and link variants like color or size.

As AI models get smarter and cheaper, our flywheel accelerates: our catalog will improve, and it will be even easier for developers and vibe-coders to build on our infrastructure.

Why we’re building this

Alex discovered this problem firsthand while building an AI teacher that could recommend appropriate products for its students. He discovered that giving AI agents shopping capabilities is both a real pain-point and a growing opportunity, so he persuaded George, his smartest friend from Duke and former co-founder, to leave Palantir and build the solution together.

I’m in! What now?

We’re looking for developers who want to build the next generation of shopping on top of Channel3 (and get paid to do it!).
