Square made its AI business agent, formerly called Managerbot, generally available to US sellers at no extra cost under a new name, Squaremates, and it’s now the first thing sellers see when they sign in to Square Dashboard. Squaremates can now carry out longer jobs that touch several parts of a business, like spotting customers who stopped coming in and building a discount campaign to win them back. A feature still in beta goes outside Square, checking what’s running low and building the restock order on a supplier’s website for the seller to finish. Square also released an MCP server and a command-line tool so sellers can run their account from AI assistants they already use and build apps hosted on Square, like one that splits cash tips by hours worked.
