About Open Mercato
Open Mercato is an AI CRM/ERP framework for developers that ships with a ready-to-use foundation and sensible defaults. It targets engineering teams in startups and enterprises that want a customizable, AI-enabled CRM/ERP core without vendor lock-in.

Key Features
Open Mercato is best understood as a base that pairs a lightweight core with layered customization, so teams can ship AI-aware CRM/ERP workflows quickly while keeping full control over code: - Versioned npm package & overlays: Install the core as a versioned npm package and never fork; overlays replace behavior at build time so updates don’t break customizations. - Extend-everything architecture: The core stays minimal; you override modules and workflows in your layer, leaving the foundation intact. - AI-assisted engineering & built-in domains: The framework ships with AI features like an AI Assistant and pre-encoded CRM/ERP processes, plus architecture-aware specs and code that agents write. - Sandboxed development & live previews: Boot a cloud sandbox in 30 seconds for dev mode with live previews and quick feedback without touching production.
Best for developers building AI-native CRM/ERP foundations, AI engineering teams prototyping product workflows, and enterprise platform teams needing multi-tenancy, RBAC, and safe customization.
