Horkos

About Horkos

In Greek myth, Horkos is the spirit of oaths. He punished anyone who broke a promise. Our Horkos does the same job for AI agents that spend money.

AI agents can already shop, hire and pay for us. What is missing is trust. A spending cap cannot tell whether a payment matches what you asked for, and approving every payment by hand does not scale.

Horkos sits between an agent and the payment. You write your rules once. The Guard checks each payment against them, holds the money until the seller's work passes automated tests, and gives more freedom to sellers who keep their word.

Horkos runs on the PayPal sandbox and no real money moves. Funding, payouts and refunds are simulated in this build.
