Square has made Squaremates, its business agent, generally available to sellers in the United States and made it the primary entry point to Square Dashboard, according to a November 12 press release reported by PYMNTS. Squaremates evolved from Managerbot and handles multistep tasks in its own secure workspace. The release says sellers can use it to find lapsed customers and build targeted campaigns, update product catalogs in bulk, draft staffing schedules from labor costs and sales trends, and produce sales reports and branded email campaigns.
Square also released an improved Square Model Context Protocol (MCP), which lets sellers connect their accounts to third-party AI assistants and authorize them to take actions using Square's capabilities, and a new command-line interface that gives developers scripted access to Square APIs. Through Squaremates Apps, sellers can build and host their own applications, such as tools that split cash tips by hours worked.
A restocking feature in beta identifies low inventory and prepares supplier orders for seller approval, and Square plans to add permission-based email access to daily briefings, the release said. PYMNTS noted that Block CEO Jack Dorsey discussed plans for procurement agents on the company's November earnings call.
