The problem

Blocking agents keeps the door shut on your next customer.

AI agents already crawl, read and reuse what companies publish, and most of them pay nothing and leave no record. So companies are starting to block them outright.

Blocking stops the taking, but it also turns away the agents that are about to shop, book, research and buy for real people. The answer is a door agents can pay at, with your rules on the other side of it.

How it works

Four steps, every request.

  1. 1

    The agent identifies itself

    An agent asking for something paid is told the price and asked who it is and who it acts for. Anonymous scraping gets nothing behind the door.

  2. 2

    Your terms are checked

    What it may do (read, summarize, buy, run a task), at what price, how often, and which AI models are allowed to touch your data.

  3. 3

    It pays per use

    Payment comes from the agent's prepaid wallet. Funds are held before the work starts and released only when it is delivered, so no request runs unpaid.

  4. 4

    Both sides get a receipt

    A signed, time-stamped record of who asked, what they got, the terms and the price. Each record links to the one before it, so a change or a gap shows.

What you control

Your site, your rules.

Price per action

Set a price to read, to summarize, to buy, or to run a task. Free headlines, paid full text, a premium tier for bulk use.

Who gets in

Allow or refuse specific agents and the companies behind them. Different buyers can get different terms.

Which AI touches your data

Choose the AI vendors and hosting regions allowed to process your content, and every receipt records the one that did.

Limits and approvals

Caps per request, per hour and per buyer. Large or sensitive transactions can stop for a person on your team to approve.

Data stays protected

Agents get the answer they paid for, not the keys to your systems. Your databases and accounts are never handed to an agent.

The trail

Every transaction is on record: searchable, exportable, and ready for an audit, a dispute or a licensing conversation.

Who it is for

Any company agents want something from.

Publishers and media

Charge for summaries and full articles instead of feeding them to scrapers for free.

Retail and marketplaces

Let shopping agents check stock, compare and buy, with every order on record.

Data and API providers

Meter access per call, with terms that travel with the data.

Service businesses

Let agents book, quote and order your services, with your approval where you want it.
