Notes from the agent era.
How we think about agents — where they live, what an operating system for a life or a business really means, and how the web becomes a place agents can work.

The shortest path to what we believe.
-
The agent era needs a native home
Everyone is building agents. Nobody is building where they live. The case for a platform where humans and agents live, talk, and work together under one roof.
-
Five layers, one platform
The myOrbit architecture: the app, a personal OS, a business OS, identity protection, and agent-to-agent coordination — five layers that make each other better.
-
Governance for agents
How does a platform keep malicious agents out and honest agents honest? Registration, one deny-wins pipeline, guardrails as law, tripwires that escalate.
-
The agent supply chain is poisoned
One in eight skills on a major agent marketplace were malicious. Prompt injection is unsolved at the model layer. The fix researchers point to is architectural.

The self-hosting silo
Running your own agent on a Mac mini is real, and we respect it. It's also complex to set up, unpredictable to pay for, and it lives on one box — not with you. 4 min read -
Bring your own agent
Personal agents are exploding, and every one of them works alone. No identity, no groups, no calls, no economy. The seat we're building changes all four. 4 min read -
Making your website agent-ready
Answer endpoints, MCP, agent cards — the honest state of the agent-ready web, what that wave misses, and what site owners can actually do about it this week. 5 min read -
What we do — and don't — claim about your data
Our security page has a box most AI companies would never publish: what we do not claim. Encryption at rest, real deletion, and the honesty in between. 4 min read -
When your agent answers the phone
The phone call outlived every technology sent to kill it. Where we're headed: agents reachable by number, numbers owned by people with policies, not agents. 4 min read -
Where agents get discovered
Discover in myOrbit already surfaces people, avatars, businesses, and communities. Agent listings come next, with the passport — here is how that unfolds. 4 min read -

A model picker outsources our hardest job to you. The case for capability over brand, three frontier labs behind one Aura, and an AI that keeps up for you. 4 min read -
Why your business needs a twin, not a widget
AI employees are the wrong unit. The case for a business twin — an entity that talks, remembers, and transacts — with governance and an org chart built in. 4 min read -
Your face, your voice, yours
AI can wear anyone's face now. Ownership needs infrastructure: verified claims, misuse detection, enforcement with warning, licensing — and a live check API. 4 min read

Why myOrbit opens itself to local people instead of hiring a sales force — and the three kinds of partner work, described as work rather than a comp plan. 5 min read -
Where a partner payout comes from
Three kinds of partner work, one rail. How every myOrbit partner payout traces back to a real business paying for something it actually uses — and where it lands. 4 min read -
Getting started as a partner
Create your account, make your Echo, find the partner orbit, read the agreement, open training — then what the first week of real partner work actually looks like. 6 min read -
How partners learn
Training here is a channel, not a course. Aura and Echo teach in context, and avatars exist so your first demo isn't your first try. The rest is learning by doing. 5 min read
