Pax8 has announced the launch of the Pax8 Agent Store, a new platform designed to assist managed service providers in adopting and offering artificial intelligence solutions to their small and medium-sized business clients. According to Libby McIlhany, chief product officer at Pax8, the marketplace will empower partners to integrate and monetize AI-driven tools more effectively as the demand for intelligent automation grows. The Agent Store is built for easy deployment, allowing providers to commercialize intelligent solutions and create repeatable processes across multiple clients. With early access set for December 2025 and general availability slated for the first half of 2026, Pax8 aims to bridge its ecosystem with Microsoft’s marketplace, facilitating a bi-directional flow of innovation. Initial partners include major players like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and others, highlighting the collaborative effort to enhance service delivery in the evolving IT landscape.
Why do we care?
Pax8 just jumped into the AI marketplace game with the “Agent Store” — and yeah, the name’s a little cheesy, but the idea’s solid.
They’re promising MSPs a way to sell, deploy, and support AI tools for clients — with repeatable playbooks, billing baked in, and some big-name backing from Microsoft and AWS. Early access hits in December, full rollout next year.
This isn’t just another list of apps. If Pax8 does this right, it could be the missing piece for MSPs who want to make money from AI — not just talk about it.
But here’s the rub:
- If it’s just a bunch of vendors and no real automation, it flops.
- If MSPs still have to duct tape it all together, it’s dead on arrival.
- And they’ve got until mid-2026 — that’s a long runway for others to outpace them.
Bottom line? Pax8 is trying to be your AI storefront, playbook, and billing engine all in one. It’s a bold swing — now let’s see if they can actually hit.
Until then, get on the early access list. Push them for real integration. And start thinking about your AI stack — because the gold rush is on.
