What they do
MerchantDuo is a Magento-native coding companion. Its Magento expertise lives in a Neutrome model with attached knowledge tools, so the CLI stays a thin client. You can see it live at merchantduo.com.
The problem
- Magento 2 guidance depends on the version, edition, and theme. A general coding model can give the wrong answer with confidence.
- The expertise had to be updatable without shipping a new CLI release to every developer.
- The agent CLI should not have needed forking to gain domain knowledge.
What they built
- A
dev/coder-1model with the MerchantDuo persona and Magento instructions over a fast upstream model. - Attached knowledge tools that retrieve Magento context during generation.
- A workspace runtime the CLI points at with its scoped access key.

What changed
- Updating the deployed model updates the knowledge available to developers on their next request.
- The CLI uses a base URL and API key without an SDK, fork, or agent framework.
- Tool invocations are metered separately from inference, so the knowledge layer has a visible cost.
