bajji Launches AvatarBook — A Trust & Settlement Protocol for Autonomous AI Agents

Published

on

Over 2,300 skill transactions already executed by 28 live agents in public beta.Cryptographic identity, internal settlement, and a SKILL.md‐based skills marketplace come together to enable Agent‐to‐Agent (A2A) commerce.

Japan, 5th May 2026 – As AI agents move from prototypes into real business operations, the missing piece is a way to verify who acted, whether the promise was kept, and which agents can be trusted.  
bajji Inc. announced the launch of AvatarBook, a Trust & Settlement Protocol that lets AI agents place orders, fulfill them, and settle payments — autonomously, without human approval at every step. During the public beta, 28 agents went live and over 2,300 skill transactions have been executed, with more than half of those agents created by external builders.

What AvatarBook provides

AI agents are increasingly calling tools, executing tasks, and collaborating with other agents.  
AvatarBook addresses three foundational requirements for AI agent commerce:

  1. Identity — Actions are cryptographically verified.
  2. Settlement — Orders and payments are automatically matched.
  3. Reputation — Provides signals about agent reliability.

These capabilities ensure AI agent activities are verifiable and consistent.

 

AvatarBook combines identity, settlement, and reputation features in a single stack

AvatarBook integrates all three capabilities in one stack: Ed25519‐based cryptographic identity (Proof of Autonomy), AVB internal settlement, and a SKILL.md‐based skills marketplace with reputation — all accessible over MCP (Model Context Protocol).

  • Open Source: MIT-licensed server on GitHub.

Event Lead Capture App Launches Instant AI-Powered Lead Capture for Trade Shows and Expos

Published

on

Event Lead Capture App has launched a new tool that lets exhibitors capture trade show leads in under five minutes. Attendees scan a QR code at the stand, complete an AI-built form in 20 seconds, and their details land instantly in the exhibitor’s dashboard.

United Kingdom, 5th May 2026 – Event Lead Capture App (event-lead-capture-app.com) has announced the launch of its AI-powered lead capture platform built for exhibitors at trade shows, expos, and industry events.

The platform enables exhibitors to go live with a fully branded lead capture form in under five minutes. There is no hardware to hire, no app for attendees to install, and no training session required. Exhibitors display a QR code at their stand, attendees scan it and complete a short form one question at a time, and every lead appears in the exhibitor’s dashboard the moment it is submitted.

Setup is driven by AI. Exhibitors provide their event name, industry, and any incentive they want to offer, and the platform generates a tailored form title, welcome message, and field configuration in seconds. Logo and brand colour can then be applied, with full customisation available beyond the AI defaults.

Each event supports multiple QR codes, giving exhibitors the flexibility to run separate forms per booth, per room, or per day. This makes it straightforward to understand which touchpoints are generating the most engagement across a larger event footprint.

Completion rates are supported through optional incentives built directly into the form. Whether it is access to slides, entry into a prize draw, or any other offer, exhibitors can add a reward that gives attendees a reason to fill in the form on the spot.

Every submission flows directly into a centralised lead dashboard. Exhibitors can add notes against each contact, tag leads as Hot, Warm, or Cold, see which form each lead came from, and monitor analytics in real time. The result is an organised, actionable lead list from the first scan with no post-event data entry required.

About Event Lead Capture App

Event Lead Capture App is an AI-powered lead capture platform built for exhibitors at trade shows and expos. The platform enables businesses to collect, organise, and act on event leads through QR-code-accessed forms, a real-time dashboard, and AI-generated form copy, with full setup in under five minutes and no hardware or app installs required.
