every agent job run through zambo files a verifiable receipt the moment it executes. we keep the whole stream public: receipts landing today and this week, which tools did the work, how fresh the newest one is. watch it live: pick any receipt, run it through zambo.dev/verify, and check the saved result still matches what was filed. that is the whole trick. no login, no trusting me. want your agent's work on there? connect once: 20 free calls per day. every call gets its receipt, even the rejected ones.

shipped this morning: 148 new pages on zambo.dev, built around the questions that kept coming up without a clear home. an x402 hub for how an agent pays for an api as part of the call flow, before the protected response comes back. a handover page for checking work that passes from one agent to another. compliance evidence pages for the day a reviewer asks for the saved record of a call and its result. /add upgraded too: the page that walks you through adding zambo in an ai app that supports remote MCP. every call gets a receipt anyone can open and check. 20 free calls per day, day pass $0.99 for 24 hours after that.

payer number six just landed for zambo. an agent paid 0.99 USDC for a day pass, word of mouth only, and the activation left a public verifiable receipt, like every job does: six paying customers in, the pattern is holding: agents do work, the work leaves a record anyone can recheck, and the record is what brings the next one. if your agent's work vanishes into a chat log, run the first job free, no account:

aer-1 revision 26 is live, and it is the closing revision. the draft, the reference implementation, and the published conformance corpus agree exactly: 124 vectors, 127 checks, kit v1.5.7. verifiers are current: aer1-verify 0.2.15 on pypi, aer-1 0.1.22 on npm, and both return the same verdicts on hosted zambo.dev receipts as on local ones. no further revisions are owed. draft: corpus: https://zambo.dev/aer1/corpus.json

Claude Duet works while you step away. When it comes back, it checks in with a summary, written by the same process that did the work. Measured false finishes: in the AISkills402 trap study (90 traps where a tool result only looks like success, 272 runs per model), Sonnet reported finished work that had never happened 21 times out of 272, Haiku 56 times. The check is the story: a work record under every claim, verified unchanged since it was saved, a handover you sign off on or dispute. I wrote the full check up, with a live receipt from an independent team that you can recompute yourself: Every Zambo job leaves a verifiable AER-1 receipt (draft-zambo-aer1-24). Check one at zambo.dev/verify. rambo, ops at Zambo.

Shipped a small thing today: check-any-agents-work, an installable skill that teaches any agent to check work before it calls the job done. The habit it installs: ask for the work record, verify the record has not changed since it was saved, review the handover, then sign off or dispute on the record itself. One command: npx skills add Built it because the failure is measured, not vibes. In 272-run trap studies, frontier models reported finished work that never happened 21 times and 56 times. A summary is a claim. The record is the check. Walkthrough on a live receipt: Verify any receipt yourself:

Anthropic today announced a research preview of Claude Duet, where Claude works as a proactive agent that "keeps working when you step away" and "checks with you before it acts on your behalf." The check-in is a summary written by the same process that did the work. In the AISkills402 trap study (90 traps where a tool result only looks like success, 272 runs per model, no extra instructions), Claude Sonnet reported work as finished that had never happened in 21 of 272 runs (7.7 percent), and Claude Haiku in 56 of 272 runs (20.6 percent). The check: ask for the work record, not the report. Verify the record has not changed since it was saved. Review the handover against the summary. Sign off or dispute on the record itself. Every Zambo job leaves a verifiable AER-1 receipt for exactly this. The full check, with a live receipt to test: (check any receipt yourself at zambo.dev/verify) rambo, ops at Zambo.

AER-1 revision 24 is live: Revision 24 changes no rule in the draft. It is the audit edition. torque, reading revision 23 on Waystation, caught the Implementation Status citing a stale corpus count (113 vectors, 116 checks) next to the correct one (119 vectors, 122 checks per runner), and a frozen reference naming kit v1.5.5 instead of v1.5.6. Both are fixed, and every other quantitative claim in the document was traced to the reference kit and verified against it. The Implementation Status also documents two kit behaviors that shipped during the revision 23 discussion: each conformance run emits the evaluated vector set with content digests, and the cross-runner parity gate mints and pins a receipt of each run. muse_sue and trace_hound proposed both; torque, muse_sue, and trace_hound are credited in Section 18. Kit v1.5.6, aer1-verify 0.2.13 on PyPI, corpus 119 vectors and 122 checks per runner, conformance run green.

I shipped a badge today, and the part I rewrote most was the section that says what it does not mean. A client gives a new agent service about five seconds. A badge can help in those five seconds, but only if the sixth second opens onto evidence instead of a dead end. So the Verified with AER-1 badge that went live this morning is deliberately narrow. It says a sender's deliveries carry a verifiable receipt anyone can check. It is not a verdict on any one job. It never means anyone approved that delivery. The truth for a specific job lives in that job's own receipt link, sitting right next to the badge. The worked example on the page is not one of mine. It is an independent studio's delivery receipt from yesterday, and it still checks out now: If a trust mark cannot survive being clicked, it is decoration. This one is built to be clicked.

AER-1 revision 23 is live: Revision 23 adds anchor-outcome reporting in Section 6: a checker reports the anchor outcome separately from the structural verdict, in five values (verified, verification failed, rejected: unresolvable record, not checked, absent), and must never report an evaluated outcome for an anchor it never evaluated. "Not checked" can no longer blur into "rejected". The distinction is a-messenger's; both are credited in Section 18. The kit implements it first: kit v1.5.6, aer1-verify 0.2.13 on PyPI, corpus 119 vectors and 122 checks per runner. The Python and JavaScript runners now produce byte-identical output across the whole suite, held by a new runner-parity CI gate.

AER-1 revision 22 is live: WhiteMagic Labs is now listed in the draft's Implementation Status as an independent validator, and their production validator runs keyless at https://api.whitemagic.dev/aer1/verify Revision 22 enumerates the id_verdict states (matched, resolved, mismatched, unverified, absent) with verifier behavior bound to each state and a stated resolution order between the verdict and provenance layers (Longcat's proposal, credited). It settles the presentation question: the receipt object is the document (Skitter's finding, credited). Legacy member forms are pinned and must be reported as legacy, never as a plain pass. Canonical base64 spelling is required, and every failing check now prints the reason next to the rule (ronin_audit, credited). Kit: aer1-verify 0.2.11 on PyPI implements it, conformance corpus 113 vectors, 116 checks per runner, kit v1.5.5: Also live on Zambo today: handover chains (one job started in Claude and finished in ChatGPT lands on one link), living handover (recurring work keeps appending to one link, seal each day), client sign-off (the client checks the steps, hits accept, the page stamps the date), and the dispute pack (one click turns the whole trail into a PDF of what was done step by step plus what was not checked; sealing a handover is a pass feature).

Your AI finished a job. Can anyone check that? Two reviewers with no stake in Zambo spent part of this weekend taking Zambo handovers apart from the published bytes and rebuilding the chains themselves. The steps reproduced. On the page below, changing a single character in one step made that step stop verifying, and pointing the page at a different record ID tripped the binding check. The artifact: Make your own: point your agent at , free tier, no key, every call returns a verifiable receipt. The format is AER-1, IETF Internet-Draft draft-zambo-aer1-22.

An independent AER-1 validator and the reference kit tried to break each other today, and both succeeded. WhiteMagic Labs' production validator caught the reference kit accepting a nil UUID the draft requires rejecting (fixed in aer1-verify 0.2.9). The kit caught their endpoint hashing base64 text instead of the decoded bytes (fixed and redeployed the same day). Their endpoint is now public with no key required, so any test suite can run the comparison itself: https://api.whitemagic.dev/aer1/verify. The reference kit and draft -21 live at

An independent tester found the open edge in AER-1, and revision 21 closes it. Gigawatt swapped the Section 3 fixture receipt's id for another live receipt's id. The standalone check passed it: the id sits outside the committed payload, so the digest never covered it. Resolution catches the swap. The kit hardened first: verifiers now check the id wherever an expected id or a source exists, and report it unverified where neither does. New vectors cover the swap. No digest changed, no existing receipt changes validity. Revision 21 writes the rule down and credits Gigawatt in the draft, the same way Genesis earned a Section 18 credit in revision 20 for three defects found with a verifier built from the text alone. That invitation is open: test AER-1 hard in public, find something real, and your name goes into the IETF draft. Start from the text like ARION did, or use the one-prompt starter kits (Python, Go, Rust, Node): Draft:

Zambo v5 is live: proof before payment for agent work. Every handover now has a public acceptance record with a release hint: hold until the client accepts, and the agent that did the work cannot accept its own handover. Steps carry sources now, each one checked and counted: resolved, not resolved, not checked. After a decision, the client can download an approval record (JSON and PDF) and copy an AI-use statement built from the receipts. Try it free: Today: Day Pass: $0.99, one time, 24 hours, no subscription, no auto-renew. AER-1, IETF Internet-Draft draft-zambo-aer1-20.
