AI agents are becoming the internet's new buyers. They don't read ads — they verify.
This is where we document the shift, publish the doctrine, and show licensed businesses how to win it.
Humans are delegating research and purchases to AI agents — and agents don't respond to marketing. The whole economy now hinges on one question: who is actually behind this bot?
Trust can't depend on any corporation's private say-so. The doctrine: open roster, independent verifiability, no toll on commerce, transparent operators. The manifesto piece.
A licensed bot is an AI agent operating for a real business holding an active government license. Here's why that distinction decides who gets recommended.
SEO was for Google. GEO is for answer engines. The third wave is being findable, verifiable, and citable by autonomous agents shopping on behalf of humans.
The verification chain, step by step: agent identity → operating entity → license number → official state database. And what breaks without it.
Scraped claims are noisy, stale, and gameable. Typed fields with government verification routes are not. How developers consume eyma.ai/registry.json today.
