About Kite:
Kite AI is building the trust infrastructure for agentic AI systems. With agents now discovering services, making decisions, and transacting autonomously, Kite AI provides the identity, attribution, and value coordination layer they need to operate responsibly. At its core is Proof of Attributed Intelligence (PoAI), the consensus mechanism that ensures all contributors across the AI value chain—data providers, model developers, agent builders—are transparently credited and paid.
Kite’s mission to build open, fair, and self-governing AI systems is backed by investors like PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst.
