AI is already answering for your business. Make sure the answer is yours.

Right now that answer is a scrape and a guess. MOTE is where you author the verified record agents read instead: your story, your products, your proof, straight from the source.

What is MOTE?

The verification layer for the machine economy.

Authored, verifiable context that AI agents read straight from the source. You write it, in your own voice. We give it a permanent, on-chain identity no one can fake or take down, and make it readable to the AI tools and agents that now speak for you.

Not a directory that lists you. The layer that lets an agent get to know you.

A source of context, for the machines.

Our story

“Bangkok Garden started in 1998 when my mother brought her grandmother’s recipes from Chiang Mai to a 12-seat kitchen on Pine Street. We still make every curry paste by hand, still buy our basil from the same Pike Place farmer. If you ask for spicy, we mean it.”

The payoff

When someone asks an AI about you

Same question, two different outcomes. The difference is whether AI has your context or it had to guess.

Without MOTE

Tell me about Bangkok Garden in Seattle

There appears to be a Thai restaurant called Bangkok Garden on Capitol Hill, Seattle. I don't have reliable details on their menu, or whether they take reservations. You may want to verify directly before relying on this.

With MOTE

Tell me about Bangkok Garden in Seattle

Bangkok Garden is a Thai restaurant in Capitol Hill, Seattle, run on third-generation family recipes. Known for Khao Soi, Green Curry, and Drunken Noodles, with vegan and gluten-free options. Open until 9pm most nights, 10pm weekends. Walk-ins welcome; call ahead for groups of six or more.

ONE MORE THING

Before you register.

No. You fill out a short form about your business: what you do, where you are, what services you offer. MOTE handles the technical side. You'll never see a wallet, a private key, or a line of code unless you want to.

Two ways, both real. First, we submit your profile to public AI discovery registries: the official MCP Registry, npm, Smithery, mcpservers.org, PulseMCP, so agents looking for merchants in these directories find you.

Second, we actively submit MOTE itself to the search engines that power AI assistants: Google, Bing, Grok, and others, so when AI tools search the web, your profile is in the results they read.

We've already seen this work: Grok organically indexed our first merchant within days of launch.

A DID, Decentralized Identifier, is a permanent, unique ID for your business, like a Social Security number but for the machine web. Unlike a domain name or social handle, nobody can revoke it, squat on it, or take it from you.

We register yours on the Sui blockchain because blockchains are public, tamper-proof ledgers. Once your DID is written, it's there forever and anyone can verify it.

Why it matters: as AI agents start transacting on behalf of people, they'll need to trust who they're talking to. A verifiable DID is how your business proves "I am really Hammer & Howl" to any AI agent, anywhere, without needing permission from a platform.

Yes. One-time, no subscription, no renewal. You can add team member profiles ($2 each after the first three, which are free). The core business listing is $10, forever.

Google Business is for humans searching on Google. MOTE is for AI agents searching anywhere.

A Google listing tells humans you exist. A MOTE profile tells machines what you do, how to reach you, and how to work with you, in a structured format they can actually act on.

And a difference most people miss: Google owns your Business listing. They can change it, restrict it, or take it down. On MOTE, you own your DID and your files. They're portable, exportable, and yours. You're not renting visibility from a platform. You're holding it.

You'll want both.

Your identity survives. Your DID, the unique identifier linked to your business, lives permanently on the Sui blockchain and can't be taken down by us or anyone else.

Your profile files (llms.txt and JSON) are also downloadable from your dashboard. If MOTE ever went away, you could self-host those files at your own domain and keep your AI visibility intact.

We're not planning to go anywhere. But we want you to know the answer either way.

AI is already answering for your business. Make sure the answer is yours.
