AI agents can plan, reason, and call tools. But real-world work doesn't just need more capable agents, it needs shared reality and a source of truth across these dimensions:
Intent
Why we are doing it—verifiable intent so people, programs, and agents align on purpose and success criteria, not only on tasks or outputs.
Identity
Who is involved—identities and roles: who can represent an organization, a device, a service, or an agent in the system, and how that is established and delegated.
Claims
What is being asserted—claims and the protocols that supply rubrics, rules, standards, and outcome definitions so assertions can be reviewed against something explicit.
Evidence
What backs the claim—documents, measurements, observations, attestations, media, reports, sensor data, or external records, linked so reviewers and automation can inspect the same material.
Governance
Who has authority to act—credentials, capabilities, and permissions that determine who may submit, attest, dispute, pay, publish, or change state on behalf of whom.
Verification
Whether a result holds—decisions, impacts, and approvals: what was reviewed, by whom, under which rules, and what was accepted, rejected, or sent back for more evidence.
Transactions
What changed—transactions, state transitions, and immutable logs so “what happened” is inspectable over time, not only the latest screen in an app.
Outcomes
What was achieved—verifiable outcomes tied to evidence and decisions: the record of what the system treats as true after review, suitable for reporting, funding, or compliance.
Economy
How value moves—financing, generation and circulation of assets, and value flows (payments, rewards, fees, reserves, settlement) that can be anchored to verified outcomes and governed rules, not only offline agreements.
Cooperation
What should happen next—cooperative workflows that route the right actor, human or agent, to the next step using shared context and governed handoffs—not ad hoc chat threads.
IXO with Qi provides the operating systems for acting on reality, for you and your organization to make positive impacts on the world, and for you to benefit from the intelligence economy.
What makes this different
Most AI platforms help agents complete tasks inside existing tools.
IXO and Qi help you build workflows that people, organizations, and agents can trust across many systems and participants.
Use this stack when your workflow needs to know who is involved, what is being claimed, what evidence supports it, who has authority to decide, what value should move, and what outcome was actually achieved.
IXO is the trust layer that creates a verifiable graph of the state of real-world entities, with identities, claims, credentials, evidence, transactions, and verifiable outcomes.
Qi is the intelligent cooperating system that empowers humans, AI agents, applications, and services to cooperate over that graph through secure context, declared tools, governed workflows, and inspectable state changes.
Model people, organizations, assets, claims, evidence, credentials, transactions, and outcomes as connected graph state.
Verification, not blind automationLink claims to evidence, credentials, attestations, authority, and protocol-defined state changes.
Cooperation, not isolated agentsCoordinate humans, agents, applications, and services through shared context and governed workflows.
Outcomes, not just activity logsConnect measurements, verification, funding, governance, and learning to real-world results.
How it works
Let's look at a verified claims workflow to see how IXO and Qi are different from ordinary agent tooling.
A participant submits a claim
An implementer, organization, device, service, or agent submits a claim about work completed, evidence collected, eligibility, delivery, compliance, performance, or impact.
Evidence is linked
Documents, measurements, observations, attestations, reasoning traces, media, reports, sensor data, or external records are attached to the claim.
Authority is checked
The workflow verifies who submitted the claim, which domain or entity they represent, the credentials or permissions that allowed them to act, and which capabilities were invoked.
Agents support review
Agentic Oracles, overseen by human operators, inspect evidence, check program rules, flag risks, summarize context, generate decision and impact determinations, then recommend next actions.
Humans and services coordinate
Reviewers, verifiers, funders, operators, services, and agents work through secure rooms and messages, to coordinate actions, use tools, and implement cooperative workflows.
State changes are recorded
Accepted claims, attestations, transactions, outcomes, payments, governance actions, or next workflow states emit decision and impact determinations as immutable, auditable records with provenance.
The system learns
Verified outcomes feed analytics, agent evaluation, decision support, program design, and future workflow improvement, through automated learning loops.
The core pattern is that agents do not invent facts or act on disconnected prompts. Humans and agents cooperate over shared state to produce changes that others can inspect, rely on, and build on. Qi is the intelligent cooperation layer that makes this possible.
What you can build
The workflow above is one verified-claims-shaped slice of the stack. Everything else—PODs, Flows, Blueprints, Agentic Oracles, assets, markets, recurring program shapes (MRV, outcome-linked financing, secure cooperation rooms, learning loops) are covered in the guides.

This is just the beginning.
Start from your current reality
Turn your intent into a programmable organizational domain (POD) with a shared workspace, configured flows for your team and AI agents, and economic mechanisms.
Automate work and improve outcomes
Automate work, elevate productivity, earn financial rewards, and drive positive impact with verifiable records of outcomes.
Keep ownership of your data and intelligence
The data, memories, and intelligence you generate remain yours to own and control. You can sell, rent, or trade it as you choose.
