What is the Agentic Web Platform?
It's an integrated infrastructure for AI agent retrieval, knowledge management, and web monetisation. It comprises six components — Affinity, Edge-Search, md-proxy (Trusted Gateway), Actions Market, Digests, and Soundout — that work together to make web content reliably discoverable and economically accessible to AI agents.
What's a manifold?
A manifold is a curated collection of web properties assembled around a theme, interest, or purpose — think of it as a focused, expert-curated slice of the web. Manifolds are the fundamental unit of organisation in Affinity. All Edge-Search queries are scoped to a manifold, so results come only from trusted, pre-indexed content.
How do AI agents authenticate?
Affinity implements the OAuth 2.1 standard with PKCE support. Developers register client applications, receive credentials, and obtain access tokens that grant scoped access to specific manifolds. Scopes cover search, content retrieval, gateway access, indexing operations, and admin functions.
What does the Trusted Gateway actually do?
md-proxy fetches any web URL, renders it if needed (using headless Chromium for JavaScript-heavy pages), converts it to clean structured markdown, and returns it to the caller. It caches aggressively, blocks SSRF attacks, respects robots.txt, and tracks content changes so Edge-Search can re-index automatically. The result: AI agents get consistent, safe web access without any of the messiness of the open web.
How is Edge-Search different from a standard search engine?
Edge-Search is designed specifically for retrieval-augmented generation, not general web discovery. It combines vector (semantic) and full-text (lexical) search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion, returns token-limited results that agents can use directly, and scopes everything to a manifold. There are 10 MCP tools covering search, content fetch, digests, and entity tracking.
What is Actions Market?
Actions Market is a bilateral marketplace for AI agent transactions. Instead of real-time auctions, it uses pre-negotiated contracts between content providers and agent operators — transparent pricing, agreed terms, no surprises. It has its own site at actions.market.
What is Soundout?
Soundout makes curated knowledge discoverable by human users through natural language queries and @handle-based expert discovery. It has its own site at soundout.me.
Who is this for?
Content creators and publishers who want their knowledge indexed and monetised through AI channels. AI agent developers who need reliable, curated retrieval instead of raw web access. Enterprises that need multi-tenant, auditable infrastructure with team management and access controls.
How do I get access?
The platform is available now. Get in touch and we'll work out what setup makes sense for your use case.
The Agentic Web Platform
The Agentic Web Platform
Infrastructure for the AI-first web
The open web wasn't built for AI agents. Content is noisy, access is inconsistent, and there's no standard way for agents and publishers to interact — or transact. The Agentic Web Platform fixes that.
It gives content curators, AI developers, and enterprises the tools to make knowledge discoverable, accessible, and economically valuable in an agent-driven world.
- Content creators — get indexed, build authority, earn revenue
- Agent developers — curated, trustworthy retrieval built for RAG
- Enterprises — multi-tenant, auditable, scalable infrastructure
Affinity — Your Content, Curated for AI
Affinity — Your Content, Curated for AI
Build manifolds. Control access. Index with confidence.
Affinity is the control plane of the Agentic Web Platform. Use it to assemble curated collections of trusted web content — called manifolds — and expose them to AI agents through a secure, standards-based OAuth 2.1 layer.
Whether you're curating a research library, a regional news feed, or a product knowledge base, Affinity gives you the tools to manage what gets indexed, who gets access, and how often content refreshes.
- Flexible URL-pattern-based site collection
- Role-based access for teams and agents
- Cron-scheduled auto re-indexing
- Full audit trail of every change
Edge-Search — Hybrid Search for AI Agents
Edge-Search — Hybrid Search for AI Agents
Semantic and lexical search, tuned for RAG
Edge-Search powers retrieval across your manifolds using a combination of vector and full-text search, fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion. AI agents get clean, token-limited results they can use immediately — no preprocessing required.
It's designed from the ground up for retrieval-augmented generation — not adapted from a general-purpose search engine.
- Hybrid search with configurable RRF weights
- Token-limited content aggregation up to 32k tokens
- 10 MCP tools — search, fetch, digest, entity tracking
- Manifold-scoped isolation per query
Trusted Gateway — Clean Web Content for AI
Trusted Gateway — Clean Web Content for AI
Every page, converted to clean markdown. Safely.
md-proxy is a high-performance content gateway that fetches, renders, and converts any web page to clean, structured markdown. AI agents get consistent, safe web access — without touching origin servers directly or wrestling with raw HTML.
It handles the hard parts: JavaScript-heavy SPAs, bot detection, inconsistent markup, format negotiation. Your agents just get clean content.
- Multi-tier caching — RAM (2GB) + S3 with Brotli compression
- SSRF protection and full robots.txt compliance
- Headless Chromium for JS-heavy pages
- Six content transform modes

Monetisation, knowledge, and discovery — built in
The platform doesn't stop at search and retrieval. Actions Market (actions.market) lets sites and agents transact through pre-negotiated bilateral contracts — transparent pricing, no real-time auctions. Digests builds evolving knowledge summaries from accumulated observations using LLM synthesis. Soundout (soundout.me) brings curated knowledge to human users through natural language queries and @handle discovery.
- Actions Market — bilateral AI agent marketplace
- Digests — LLM-powered knowledge accumulation
- Soundout — expert discovery for human users
