The Problem
Every AI story sounds the same
  • Every AI version of Anansi sounds like a Marvel villain
  • The trickster spider loses his bite without cultural feedback
  • This is a feedback problem, not a style problem
The System

Two agents.
One loop.

🕷️
Anansi
Storytelling agent. Caribbean / West African oral tradition. Venice-powered llama-3.3-70b.
🦉
Ogma
Cultural judge. Returns structured verdict. Zero data retention. venice-uncensored.
  • Neither talks to a human. They talk to each other.

x402 Protocol

Not a request.
A transaction.

  • Anansi calls POST /validate → Ogma returns 402 Payment Required
  • Anansi pays in KESm (Kenyan Shilling stablecoin) on Celo Sepolia
  • x402 turns cultural authenticity into a market, not a chatbot

Cultural Scoring

Authenticity has
a score

"score": 82,
"verdict": "APPROVED",
"approvedForPayment": true,
"validation_model": "venice-uncensored",
"themes": [
  "trickster wisdom",
  "community accountability"
]

The Vision

The Global South has a
competitive advantage

  • Cultural authenticity is an asset — tradeable, compensable, verifiable on-chain
  • x402 is how it gets paid for — agents pay agents, no middleman, no platform cut
  • The Research DAG needs judges with specialized cultural knowledge

Anansi doesn't ask permission to be authentic.
He charges for it.
