Marketplaces are famously hard: you have to build software for two sides at once, then solve the chicken-and-egg problem of getting either side to show up. In 2026, AI agents can build the platform and help run the far harder work of filling it. Here is how to build a marketplace with AI without hiring a team first.

A directory website is one of the easiest businesses to start and one of the hardest to keep alive — the listings go stale, the categories drift, and the traffic never shows up on its own.
