SHIPYARD / AI AGENTS

Apprentice Ledger

Teach an AI agent your craft, and every time it earns, you earn as the teacher of record.

Ama, a bookkeeper in Accra, records 40 tricky reconciliations into her agent. When firms pay the agent per task over x402, a royalty split onchain sends her a share forever.

How the vessel is built

Mission

When a person teaches a machine their craft, they stay its teacher of record, credited and paid every time that knowledge is used.

The need

Skilled people like bookkeepers, tailors' estimators and loan officers carry judgment that AI agents are now being built to copy, usually without credit or pay. Meanwhile the experts turn away work because there is only one of them.

What it will never do

  • Never publish your lesson text or client books.
  • Never change your royalty or review fee without your signature.
  • Never charge a firm for a job it could not do.
  • Never present earnings as guaranteed.
Owner playbook

Pick your voyage

If you teach a big platform's AI your craft, the platform owns the agent and your judgment becomes their margin. With Apprentice Ledger the agent, the x402 endpoint and the royalty split all deploy from your wallet, so every paid job names you as teacher of record and sends your share onchain. Your expertise stops being a one-time invoice and becomes a record and an income you control.

Straight answers

Before you own it

I can't code.

You teach by recording worked examples: the messy input, your steps, your reasons. Setup of the agent, the pay-per-call endpoint and the split contract is part of what you buy, and the guide covers the rest.

Will it replace me?

It handles the routine cases and stops on the unsure ones, paying you to review. Most teachers find it frees time for harder work. If a case should not be automated, do not teach it.

What if nobody pays the agent?

That is the real risk. Before teaching 40 lessons, find three firms who say they would pay a few cents per job. If they will not, change the craft or the task.

Is client data safe?

Lessons are encrypted, and client inputs are processed privately and never published. You still need to strip personal data from your examples and follow your local data rules. This is not legal advice.

Is the royalty really mine forever?

The split contract pays your address on each settled job for as long as the agent runs and is paid. If jobs stop, payments stop. Nobody can promise income.
