WordPress is still the world's default CMS: wordpress.org software plus a commercial galaxy. Humans get themes and Gutenberg. Agents get REST and WP-CLI. We catalog the software, not a single host, and we distinguish .org from .com in the body copy so search engines do not.
Shopify

Shopify is the worldwide commerce OS for independents and brands: admin, checkout, POS, and a huge app store. Humans set up a store in a weekend. GraphQL Admin and Storefront APIs, plus webhooks, make it a first-class agent commerce backend. Liquid themes remain a human.
