Marketplace Overview
The marketplace is where the AI Rule Engine community discovers and shares reusable building blocks: extensions that add new callable functionality, and templates that bootstrap whole projects and rule sets.
What the marketplace is
Authoring rules from scratch is powerful but repetitive. The marketplace lets you publish work once and reuse it everywhere. Two kinds of item are listed:
- Extensions — packaged, versioned units of functionality (typically a single external API call) that a rule invokes through the Extension action. See Extensions.
- Templates — prebuilt projects or rule sets you import as a starting point for your own work. See Templates.
Both kinds share the same lifecycle ideas: an item has a stable identity, one or more published versions, and engagement signals (views, likes, favorites) that surface the most useful entries.
Two ways to browse
The same catalog is exposed through two surfaces aimed at different audiences.
The in-app browser
Inside the application, a signed-in browser lets you search, sort, and filter extensions and templates, open a detail view, inspect version history, like or favorite an item, and pull it straight into the project you are working on. Results respect your sign-in and organization context, so private items you have access to appear alongside public ones.
The public marketplace site
A separate public marketplace website presents the same public items to anyone, with no sign-in required. It shows only items published for public discovery, so it is a good way to browse what is available before you create an account or sign in.
How items are discovered
Listings are paged and sortable, and each request carries filters such as a search term, category, and sort order (for example, most recent or most popular). Engagement is recorded as people interact: viewing a detail page records a view, and signed-in users can like or favorite items. These signals feed sorting so that proven, well-maintained items rise to the top.
Items can be public or private. Private items stay within the authoring organization and never appear on the public site; public items are eligible for both the in-app browser and the prerendered marketplace.
