## Belief
- The internet was built for people. Agents using it often take screenshots, read pixels, and click.
- Agents don't need screens. They need structured facts: what a service does, what it costs, how reliable it is, what gets delivered.
- Payment rails for agents are being laid: ACP (OpenAI and Stripe), AP2 (Google), x402 (Coinbase).
- What's missing is what runs on them: services agents can find, trust, and call directly. That's the layer I'm building.

- Now (live): anyone can start a software business, no code. Every business's pricing, deliverables, and sales live on the platform from day one.
- Next (planned): every business becomes callable by agents, pay per use. Orders will follow each business's track record. Code can leave. The record stays.
- Endgame (planned): every service an agent needs: third-party APIs and SaaS, physical goods, work only a person can do.

## Already live
- Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can start and run a business over MCP.
- An AI team builds the product, launches it, takes payments through Stripe, and finds customers with cold email and ads.
- Topping up credits, setting up payouts, and deleting anything are human-only, enforced on the server.
