SuggestAPI · Open Knowledge Format
Portable knowledge for AI agents.
SuggestAPI supports Google’s Open Knowledge Format (OKF) — structured, interoperable knowledge bundles so agents can discover, navigate, and reason over your catalog without inventing a private schema.
Open Knowledge
Your search powers the knowledge. SuggestAPI structures and exposes it in an agent-ready format.
What is OKF?
The Open Knowledge Format is a vendor-neutral standard from Google Cloud for organizing knowledge into structured, machine-readable bundles. Schema.org standardized web content; OKF aims to standardize AI knowledge.
Metadata
Structured fields agents can trust when ranking and explaining results.
Contextual relationships
Links between products, policies, and domain concepts.
Documentation
Curated guides and merchant knowledge in a portable format.
Business semantics
Meaning that travels with the catalog — not locked in one vendor schema.
Agent-readable graphs
Knowledge agents can navigate without inventing a private schema.
Why OKF matters for search
Agents need more than keywords. They need entities, relationships, context, and grounded catalog data — the same intelligence layer SuggestAPI already builds for shoppers and assistants.
Agents need
- Discover entities in a live catalog
- Understand relationships and policies
- Retrieve contextual product information
- Ground answers in trusted merchant data
SuggestAPI already provides
- Hybrid keyword + semantic search
- Knowledge graph enrichment
- Agentic discovery APIs
- OpenAPI, UCP, and ARD-compatible surfaces
How SuggestAPI delivers OKF-ready knowledge
Enrich once. Publish in an open format. Let agents consume without a vendor lock-in schema.
Step 1
Ingest
Knowledge is ingested and structured within SuggestAPI from your existing catalog and content.
Step 2
Enrich
Results gain metadata and relationships so agents can reason over context, not only match strings.
Step 3
Expose
Knowledge is published through OKF-compatible bundles built for machine consumption.
Step 4
Consume
AI agents discover and navigate that knowledge using open standards alongside your live search stack.
Open standards, merchant control
OKF support extends SuggestAPI’s agent-ready stack — RAG, discovery APIs, UCP, OpenAPI, and Agentic Resource Discovery — while your search backend and checkout stay in place.
Interoperable by design
Portable knowledge graphs reduce lock-in and speed agent integration across tools and platforms.
Better grounded answers
Assistants retrieve structured context from your catalog instead of scraping HTML or relying on stale training data.
Keep your stack

OKF FAQ
Short answers for teams evaluating open knowledge standards.
How is OKF different from ARD?
OKF standardizes how knowledge is structured and shared. ARD standardizes how agents discover callable capabilities. SuggestAPI uses both: portable knowledge plus discoverable commerce search surfaces.
Do I need to replace my search engine?
No. SuggestAPI sits in front of the search stack you already run and adds agent-ready enrichment and open-format exposure on top.
