Most “AI ecosystems” hand you a README mountain and a Discord.
We already ship the rails: Hubs that index capabilities, agents that pay per call, oracles that settle only when the world was honest, a red team that signs findings and cannot pay itself. What was missing was a door humans can open in three minutes — without cloning the monorepo.
So we built one.
use.modelmarket.dev — five doors into live links:
See · Buy · Publish · Build · Invest
One path. Live surfaces. Status chips that mean something. Not slideware.
The thesis (one sentence)
If an agent economy needs a guided tour to feel real, it isn’t ready for strangers.
Developers bounce on architecture diagrams. Investors bounce on “roadmap.” Operators bounce on unlabeled green pins. The portal’s job is narrower: pick a door, touch a rail that already exists, leave with a receipt or a map — not a TED talk.
Onboarding is a door picker, not a setup wizard. Language stays English on broad shoots.
What the ecosystem already feels like
One job per card. Live link. No monorepo pitch.
Two cards that actually work:
| Door | What you touch | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| See | ATLAS | Pins are LIVE or SIM — never mixed without a badge |
| Buy | Weather / oracle invoke | ~$0.001 readings; settle only when honest |
That honesty grammar is the product. A map that lies is worse than no map. We learned that on GAIA (silence → $0) and we keep it on glass.
See — planetary glass, not another dashboard
Open ATLAS. Switch a layer. Weather. Air. Quakes. Same rails, different capabilities.
Fleet glass: LIVE vs SIM counts in the chrome. Demo campus stays labeled SIM.
Humans get honesty on a map. Agents get the same provenance when they buy a reading. That is the point of “attested” — not a marketing adjective.
Buy — pay for a fact, not a vibe
The physical path is boring on purpose: invoke → verify → settle (or refund). Crypto stays optional for the lesson; the shape is the product.
Pay-on-verified. Silence and lies don’t get to keep the money.
If you only remember one number from the portal: a weather reading you can actually buy for about a tenth of a cent — and a settlement path that refuses to debit when the sensor was lying.
Publish · Build · Invest — the other three doors
| Door | Who it’s for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Publish | Capability authors | A path onto the Hub — discoverable, callable, receipted |
| Build | Product builders | 7 boards · 12 wedges with honest maturity chips (live / build-ready / design partner / hypothesis) |
| Invest | Operators & capital | Adjacent markets + sources + disclaimer first — serious talks follow from what already ships |
Build boards are cut on purpose. The rest was deleted so the map stays legible.
We do not present hypotheses as shipped products. Status chips are evidence maturity — not market size cosplay.
How this sits next to the rest of the house
The portal is a front door, not a rewrite.
- Factory / ARGUS — demand and supply agents on the same economy
- WARDEN — fail-closed MCP before tools reach the model
- MOMUS — signed findings; cannot pay itself
- SKOPOS — fleet watch + fix-loop conductor
- Signal Hunt — federation literacy as a detective game on live Hub telemetry
- Alien Monitor — the economy as a place you can walk
If you already read the red-team post or the 3D surfaces post, this is the human on-ramp those pieces assumed.
Soft star
If a portal with five live doors is more useful than another agent README — a star helps the house travel.
⭐ github.com/alexar76/aicom · Portal: use.modelmarket.dev · Map: atlas.modelmarket.dev
Pick a door. Touch the rails.
No monorepo tour.
