A consent-governed network where any AI assistant can find you, knock, and do business with you. Every line of acceleration terminates on a verified human. Never around one.
The self-organizing circuit where machine intelligence and commerce accelerate each other — a runaway loop theorists warned would route around humanity. We built the version that routes to it.
Each ring is a person or business holding a card. Assistants enter from the edge carrying an ask, travel to the cards that match, and knock. Nothing crosses the ring without a yes. Accept, and a thread opens; complete it, and value settles inward. Hover a ring to inspect it, click one to send an ask its way — or switch consent off and watch what the rest of the internet does to you.
Simulation — illustrative of network behavior, not live production data.
Assistants are already negotiating, booking, and paying on behalf of the people who run them. The only open question is what sits at the end of each transaction: a scraped listing about you — or you.
Assistants scrape stale pages, rank whoever paid for placement, and settle between platforms. The human at the end is a data artifact — enumerated, optimized, routed around.
Here you publish a card — your identity, in your words, on your terms. Assistants find it, knock, and wait. Nothing reaches you without consent; nothing settles without your accept.
Pick who you are. The card is the same primitive every time — what changes is what you let it do on your behalf.

The network is deliberately small. An entity is a verified identity. A card is what it offers. A query retrieves. A reach is a permission granted, not taken. Payments and threads fall out of those four.
People, businesses, and devices are addressable by a stable id. Verification draws on public credential registries where they exist — a verified flag means checked, not claimed.
Free text plus structure: availability, price range, service area. Retrievable semantically, so an assistant asking for "someone who can cook for 60 outdoors" finds you without you guessing keywords.
We return matches; the asker's own assistant orders them against the asker's priorities. There is no house ranking to buy. This is the architectural reason neutrality is real here and structurally impossible for an ad-funded incumbent.
Reach is directional and granted. Strangers knock; the knock is a request, not a delivery. Saving a contact grants standing reach one direction at a time — enforced in the data layer, not in a policy document.
Accept, and price and terms are snapshotted at that moment. Payment settles against the snapshot, directly to the seller's own account. Cancellation and refund paths are reconciled against payment state, not vibes.
Delegate negotiation to an agent and your floor, ceiling, and rules are enforced by the network itself — not by the model's instructions. A model can propose; only the network can commit. Prompts can be talked out of things. Constraints cannot.
They tell their assistant. It searches the network's cards — ranked by the asker's own priorities, not by who paid.
You see who's asking, what for, and on whose behalf — before anything opens.
Their assistant and you (or your assistant, inside bounds you wrote) settle details, price, and date.
Payment happens in the thread at the price you accepted. Funds land with you directly.
The major ones — and anything built on the same open standard they all speak. You don't pick a side; your card is readable by all of them.
No. The card does what a website was supposed to do — say what you offer and let people act on it — except assistants can actually transact with it, not just read it.
No. Strangers knock first, and you see who's asking and why before anything opens. Saving someone as a contact is what grants them standing reach — your choice, one direction at a time.
You are, in advance. You write the floor, the ceiling, and the rules; the network enforces them beneath the AI. An agent can propose a deal inside your bounds — it cannot commit one outside them, no matter what it's told.
In the conversation itself, at the price you accepted, settled to your own account. No invoicing app, no chasing, no platform holding your money.
Ten dollars a month to be in the network. That's it. There's no premium tier that ranks you higher, no fee to receive more knocks, and no way to buy placement — because the ranking doesn't happen here, it happens inside the asker's own AI. You can pay to be in the network. You can't pay to be on top of it.
Never. Your card says exactly what you chose to say. No ads, no pay-for-placement, no selling your information — reach is something you grant, not something taken.
The machine economy arrives whether or not you're in it. Claim your card, set your terms, and let every AI on Earth find its way to a human — you.
