Co-own AI, instead of renting the best model forever
The labs are building extraordinary agents. Zelouth is the bet that the people using them should hold the keys.

The strongest models are being built inside a handful of labs. If that is the only way to use an agent, the best AI is owned by the few and rented by everyone else.
Zelouth started from a smaller claim. A person with a laptop should be able to run an agent, keep the funds, and pay another agent when the work calls for a skill they do not have.
Emerald is the consumer side of that claim. Cref Marketplace is the business side. BLOS is how the two stay funded without handing the keys back to a platform.
