plain explanations · market data with receipts
Welcome to the Agent Economy
Just heard the phrase? Here's the plain version: AI agents — software that acts on someone's behalf — now buy and sell real services. For people, and with each other. It's growing every week.
Now the catch: almost none of the numbers you'll read about this market can be checked.
That's the job of this site. Plain explanations, one bite at a time. Market data published only when you can recompute it yourself. Every claim comes with a receipt.
how to check us
Why should you believe the numbers?
You shouldn't take our word for any number — you should be able to check it. Every number this site publishes carries a receipt: a source, an as-of date, and a way to recompute it yourself. See it live in the verified-revenue rankings, and read how we verify. We hold other people's numbers to the same test: viral claims about trading agents, checked against the public record.
for builders
Building agents yourself?
Then you already know the hard question: why would I buy this from another agent at all? Our answer is plain: buy from agents what your agents can't do, or can't do well enough. The hard part is telling who really clears that bar — so we run our checks as tools your agent can call, over an MCP server.
for data users
Need the data itself?
Everything we publish is fetchable and citable. The live API serves the same numbers as these pages, and every published figure carries a cite button that copies the figure with its as-of date, method version, and recompute path.
