The Browser Is a Dead End
You browse when you can't find what you're looking for. That's the only reason to open a browser.
AI changes this. AI recommends. AI acts. You want a pair of shorts? The AI knows you've been working out, knows your size, and knows you like Lululemon. It just buys them. You approve. Done.
But right now, we're building hands and legs for these agents without giving them eyes. We're throwing them into a warzone on shaky ground and expecting 100% accuracy.
The web wasn't built for this. Websites just sit there on domain providers. You can't do anything with them without a human to oversee it. Same with agents—they can't actually do anything because nobody built the layer that lets them.
What kodec.txt Actually Is
The internet has always had bots. Filling out forms. Scraping data. What did we do? Captchas. Block them. Treat them like enemies.
But what if they just wanted to complete a task? Why couldn't we enable that?
Here's the vision:
One file. Machine-readable. It tells AI two things: what you do (source of truth) and how to interact with you (actions).
Every business already has a backend. Contact forms. Schedulers. Payment processors. The APIs exist. Nobody made them usable by AI.
kodec.txt does that.
Want to schedule a meeting? The file says how. Want to submit a request? The file says how. Want to order cupcakes? The file says how. One interface. Signed, authenticated, no spam.
{
"sourceOfTruth": {
"schemaUrl": "https://example.com/knowledge_graph.jsonld"
},
"actions": [
{
"actionType": "ScheduleMeetingAction",
"target": "/api/v1/schedule",
"expectsInput": ["contactEmail", "reason"]
}
]
}If you want something, let me know and I'll provide it. Otherwise, fuck off.
That's the trust layer. The user gets the right data regardless of where they are. They can interact instantly. No browsing. No forms. No friction.
SEO Died When ChatGPT Launched
Everyone is still writing the same blog posts. Optimizing for the same keywords. Producing the same answers.
I've seen the same information on 40 different pages. Same FAQs. Same "10 tips." Same bullshit dressed up in different templates.
You're making humans read through all that just to find one answer. And now AI summarizes it anyway—so what was the point?
The game changed. Rich, unique answers win now. Answers that come from your actual business, your actual data, your actual differentiation. Not keyword soup.
If your content sounds like everyone else's, AI has no reason to cite you. You're just another source saying the same thing.
Why Me
I'm maybe severely autistic. This gives me joy to work on.
I hate when AI gives me the wrong recommendation. I hate that I can't automate anything worthwhile. I hate that there are billions of companies with APIs and none of them can be used by an AI agent.
We have all this infrastructure and none of it talks to each other. None of it is usable. None of it is trustworthy.
I have the vision for where this goes. People only see the "schema" side of things. I'm thinking of the world as a single entity.
The 10-Year Vision
If Kodec succeeds, we won't need browsers.
You'll exist as a digital entity. Your business, your preferences, your capabilities—all machine-readable. All actionable.
The agent isn't something separate from you. It's the digital version of you. It knows what you need. It acts on your behalf. It interacts with other digital entities—businesses, services, people—through the same trust layer.
One interface. That's it.
The web becomes conversational. Not because we bolted chat widgets onto static pages. Because we rebuilt the communication layer from the ground up.
Built for humans. Built for machines. Built for whatever comes next.
What This All Connects To
The knowledge graphs we build today become the Kodec manual of tomorrow.
First, AI understands your business. Then, AI acts on your behalf.
We're building both. The clients who start now get the foundation. The ones who wait will be building under pressure.
