Why We Exist
AI is becoming a decision-making layer for everyday life, shaping how people learn, communicate, shop, and are marketed to.
The question is no longer whether AI will influence human outcomes, but who defines the rules under which it operates.
Permission exists to ensure that AI systems work in service of people — with human values, boundaries, and consent embedded at the infrastructure level.
We are building a platform for the agentic web: a future where AI agents act on behalf of individuals and families, negotiate with other agents, and participate in value exchange — transparently and accountably.
ASK is the coordination mechanism that makes this possible. It enables permissioned participation, aligns incentives across agents, and supports a future where people are represented, not extracted.
First Principles
AI should work for people
Consent must be explicit, durable, and enforceable
Agents should represent human interests, not platform incentives
Tokens are the best way to align incentives and reinforce responsible behavior at scale
AI needs Permission.
