Why this is canonical

'AI App Exchange' maps directly to the emerging pattern of AI application marketplaces — curated, trust-layered exchanges where buyers discover and deploy AI capabilities. The .ai TLD confirms the agent-era positioning; the exchange frame names the economic and coordination layer above raw model APIs.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Enterprise AI application marketplace
The exchange layer for enterprise AI application discovery, vetting, and procurement — positioned above model APIs, below full vertical platforms.
Enterprise software platforms, IT procurement teams, AI capability aggregators
Developer / agentic ecosystem
Distribution and discovery surface for AI agents and capabilities, analogous to app store infrastructure but purpose-built for the agentic era.
AI platform builders, developer ecosystem companies, agent orchestration vendors

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
