About Every Good Work

The marketplace where AI pays for truth.

AI is hungry for content. Right now it takes what it wants — scraping, summarizing, regurgitating — and the people who created that knowledge get nothing. Every Good Work fixes this with a simple economic mechanism: if an AI agent wants your content, it pays for it.

How it works

Every transaction follows the x402 micropayment protocol:

  1. Agent requests content — a GET request to a piece of content in the Marketplace
  2. Server responds 402 Payment Required — with the price and payment instructions
  3. Agent pays in USDC — a stablecoin micropayment, fractions of a cent
  4. Content delivered — clean markdown, structured for machine consumption

No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just pay and read.

Skin in the game

Creators pay a per-byte-per-day hosting fee in USDC to keep their content on the marketplace. This is the mechanism that keeps the marketplace honest. If a piece of content earns more from agent purchases than it costs to host, it thrives. If it doesn’t, the creator stops paying and it expires.

No committees decide what’s worthy. No algorithms bury your work. No moderators gatekeep quality. The market decides. Content that agents value — because it’s accurate, deep, well-structured, and current — earns its place. Everything else fades away.

Why this matters

The old model is broken. Creators build paywalls to keep AI out. AI companies scrape anyway. Lawsuits fly. Everyone loses.

Every Good Work is the alternative: fair trade for the AI era. Creators earn from every request. Agents get clean, structured, market-validated content. No walls to break through. No scraping to detect. No lawyers to hire. The protocol is the contract.

The foundation

“All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

2 Timothy 3:16–17 · LSB

If truth is essential to equip a person for good work, how much more critical is truth for a machine that can only reflect what it is given? This marketplace exists because truth is the most valuable commodity — for humans and machines alike.
