In the agentic era, a personal agent you own — that answers only to you, on a governed open sovereignty protocol — should be a basic right, the way HTTPS made the web safe to trust. We're building an open, transparent coalition to make it real: technologists, researchers, civil-society advocates, policymakers, and everyday people, united around the open consent protocol PCHP. Built on the lineage of SSH; published for the world. Let's win it — the right way.
The last era handed your information to whoever captured your attention. The agentic era doesn't have to repeat that mistake. A sovereign agent — owned by you, consent-first by construction, running on an open protocol no single company controls — turns your information back into your own. That's not a feature. It's a right worth organizing for.
A right needs a standard to stand on. Ours is the Personal Consent Handshake Protocol (PCHP) — published openly as RFC-001, built on the thirty-year lineage of SSH, and designed to sit on top of the rails the world already runs (MCP, A2A, AP2, UCP). Just as HTTPS made commerce and trust possible on an open web, PCHP makes consent, scope, and a receipt the default for every agent exchange. Open, not owned.
We publish the thinking and the protocol — PCHP, RFC-001 — under an open license, no patent on the core handshake. A standard only wins when anyone can build to it.
Working code beats slideware. Open reference implementations let others adopt, test, and improve — rough consensus and running code, the rule that built the internet.
Bring technologists, researchers, advocates, and public servants into one open conversation — a consortium for consent, modeled on how the web's standards bodies work.
Move toward formal standardization and clear, open governance, so the protocol belongs to everyone and answers to no single company — including us.
Help harden PCHP, write reference implementations, and carry it through the standards process — the way HTTP, HTTPS, and TLS were built: open, with rough consensus and running code.
Study the consent model, the threat surface, and the human outcomes; publish openly so the standard earns its place on evidence, not hype.
Champion the principle that people own their information and their agent — in the tradition of the open-web and digital-rights movements.
Shape governance that protects people without capturing the protocol — open, interoperable, and accountable, never a walled garden.
Build products and services that implement the protocol, so a sovereign agent is the default, not a luxury.
Claim your own sovereign agent, tell the brands and agencies you use that you expect consent-first by default, and bring one more person along.
Open and transparent by design. This is principled advocacy for a human right and an open standard — welcoming people across the political spectrum and with no political power at all. Not a partisan committee; not pay-to-play.
Published openly, no patent on the core handshake — read it at /pchp and /research/the-handoff.
The thinking behind it, indexed for the world at /research/papers.
The entire platform in one public picture at /map — so anyone can see how it fits together.
A public, sourced map of the laws, institutions, and movements behind data ownership — and how to plug in — at /data-rights.
A personal AI agent you own and control, that answers only to you, holds your information under your consent, and runs on a governed, open protocol — not a service that rents you intelligence in exchange for your data. We believe access to one should be a basic right in the agentic era.
It's PCHP — the Personal Consent Handshake Protocol, our open RFC-001 — designed to be the HTTPS of the agentic era: a consent layer on top of the rails the world already uses, built on the lineage of SSH. Just as HTTPS made the web safe to trust, PCHP makes agent-to-agent and human-to-agent exchange consent-first, scoped, and accountable. It's published openly for the world to adopt.
The way open standards always win: publish openly, ship reference implementations and running code, convene a broad coalition, and move toward formal standardization and open governance. We learn from the full history of HTTP, HTTPS, TLS, and the RFCs that did — and didn't — make it through. We win it transparently and on the merits.
No. This is an open, transparent coalition for a human right and an open standard — in the tradition of the open-web and digital-rights movements. It welcomes people across the political spectrum and with no political power at all. We do this the right way, in the open, or we don't do it.
Whether you build, research, advocate, govern, or just want one for yourself and the people you love — there's a place for you in this. Join us.
