About Originary

Make AI verifiable. Every action. By anyone. Anywhere.

AI already buys, books, approves and signs for people every day. We build the open records and tools that let anyone it touches check what it did, for themselves.

01

First, software answered our questions. Then it did our work. Now it acts for us.

It pays the bill, approves the refund and signs the form in seconds. Often with no one watching.

02

Whoever holds the logs holds the story.

Today the only record of what an agent did sits in the systems of whoever runs it. When something goes wrong, the customer, the partner or the auditor has to ask for that record and accept what they are shown.

As agents take on more of the work, that quietly hands the power to explain, dispute and audit to whoever operates them. That is the default. We don’t think it has to be.

A signed record travels with the action. Anyone it affects can check, with the issuer’s public key, what was recorded and who stands behind it, without access to the operator’s systems.

03

We have solved this before. With receipts.

People have always done business with strangers. It worked because of simple tools that let anyone check what happened. AI needs one of its own.

  1. 01The sealWho sent it.
  2. 02The signatureWho agreed.
  3. 03The receiptWhat was paid.
  4. 04The auditWhether the books add up.
  5. nowThe digital receiptWhat the AI did.

04

Four questions. Every action should answer them.

AI works across companies and countries, each with its own systems and its own laws. They don’t need to agree on everything. They only need to answer the same four questions, for anyone who asks.

  1. 01Who acted?
  2. 02Who allowed it?
  3. 03What happened?
  4. 04Can anyone check?

05

Wherever AI acts. There should be a receipt.

Shops and banks. Airlines and hospitals. Offices and public services. Anything AI does for a person, anywhere in the world, should be checkable by the people it affects. It is a big goal, and it is bigger than any one company.

06

What we believe.

01

Accountability is for everyone.

Anyone affected by what AI does should be able to check it. Not only the company that built it.

02

Fast machines. Human responsibility.

AI acts in a split second. People should still answer for every action it takes.

03

Owned by no one.

The rules for these receipts belong to no single company. Not even ours.

04

Honest about limits.

A receipt proves some things, not everything. We always say which.

07

What we build.

  1. 01

    An open protocol.

    PEAC Protocol defines the record and how to verify it. It is Apache-2.0, and anyone can implement it without us.

    The tools.

    Software to issue, verify and package signed records: a CLI, SDKs, an MCP server and a verifier that runs in your browser.
