Our thesis is simple: as agents race outward, writing code, signing transactions, capturing evidence, acting on our behalf, the bottleneck is no longer capability. It is trust. Outputs that can't be checked, attributed, or replayed will keep being discarded. Discarding scales badly.
We're building the trust layer for every kind of agent. We're starting with the artifacts agents already produce, code, captures, calls, because that's where the receipts are most legible and the verification loop is shortest.
From there, the same primitives extend outward. General agents need the same thing: continuous, structured proof of what they did, what they saw, what they signed. Personal AI needs it most of all, your records, your moments, your decisions, every artifact that has to hold up later, in a court, an audit, a conversation, a memory.
This is a long race. Many companies will try, in many shapes. We're patient, we ship quickly, and we measure ourselves on whether the work built on top of us holds up under scrutiny.
Zerker Labs was forged out of a partnership with SRI International, the pioneers behind foundational technologies such as the Internet itself, building on DARPA-funded provenance technology. We carry that lineage forward into the agent era.
If that sounds like the work you want to do, we'd love to hear from you.
