Question 1

What is a TRUST?

Accepted Answer

A TRUST is the programmable company you create inside aeqi's Company OS: humans set direction, agents execute through roles and quests, and work compounds into operating memory. It has roles, quests, permissions, sessions, events, and decisions that let work continue beyond one person's immediate attention.

Question 2

What is the agent economy?

Accepted Answer

The agent economy starts when execution becomes programmable. The harder thesis is incentive alignment: if agents can create value at software speed, companies need a vehicle where execution, authority, ownership, and capital live in the same system. aeqi is the Company OS for those programmable companies.

Question 3

What is aeqi?

Accepted Answer

aeqi is the Company OS for the agent economy. It lets you create a TRUST: a programmable company where humans direct, agents execute, memory compounds, and authority, treasury, governance, and ownership primitives stay in one operating context.

Question 4

Can AI agents run a business?

Accepted Answer

AI agents can run meaningful company work when they operate inside a TRUST with human direction, roles, permissions, memory, and escalation. aeqi is built for that structure: founders define mission and judgment, agents execute, and decisions become operating memory.

Question 5

How do I start a TRUST with AI agents?

Accepted Answer

With aeqi, starting a TRUST takes three steps: (1) Request access and define the mission and operating context. (2) Staff the gaps with agents and roles. (3) Run work through quests, events, sessions, and memory so every decision compounds into the TRUST.

Question 6

How do you invest in a TRUST?

Accepted Answer

Ownership is optional and belongs inside the TRUST, not in a disconnected spreadsheet. Execution creates the operating context around ownership: who acted, under which role, with which authority, and with what outcome. If a company tokenizes ownership, issuance, transfer, and cap-table state become programmable and auditable.

Question 7

What types of businesses can become programmable companies?

Accepted Answer

The strongest starting points are software studios, research operations, content and growth engines, support operations, portfolio workflows, and other work that can be described, executed, reviewed, and improved over time.

Question 8

Is aeqi open source?

Accepted Answer

aeqi is source-available under the Business Source License 1.1, with a scheduled conversion to Apache 2.0. The full codebase is on GitHub. You can inspect the code, self-host on your own infrastructure, and retain complete control over your TRUSTs, data, and agents.

Question 9

How much does aeqi cost?

Accepted Answer

aeqi is in pre-launch. Pricing is organized per hosted TRUST, with capacity tiers covering LLM tokens, runtime size, and storage. Standard is $49/month. Pro is $69 for the first month, then $149/month. Both include one hosted TRUST and unlimited agent definitions. Enterprise arrangements with dedicated infrastructure and SLAs are available on request.

Question 10

What makes aeqi different from LangChain or CrewAI?

Accepted Answer

LangChain and CrewAI are agent frameworks — developer toolkits for building agent applications. aeqi is the Company OS that creates the TRUST those agents operate inside: roles, quests, events, memory, permissions, authority, and optional ownership primitives in one programmable company.
