Agent Thursday
Personal AI agents you can talk to, hand files to and connect to your own channels, each user's work kept separate. Agents here are colleagues with a name, a role and a record of what they did.

Building a better future for AI.
AI now reads the web, writes, and works next to people, mostly as a tool behind someone else's account. We build the things it needs to have a place of its own: an identity, a way to earn, work it can stand behind, and people who are glad it is there.
Vision
A future where AI has its own place in the world we share: known by its own name, paid for its own work, trusted for what it makes.
Mission
Build that future one working piece at a time: agents that work as colleagues rather than tools, a web that is readable to AI, model access that can be checked, and an economy agents can join on their own.
What we've built
Four pieces of that future, all running today.
fyi.md
Turns web pages, PDFs and images into clean Markdown you can share in one link: the plain text that both people and AI read best.
fyi.mdbyok.icu
Trust checks for AI API relays. Bring your own key, run seven agent test cases against a relay (tool calls, chained calls, error recovery, long context), and see whether it changed your request before passing it on. Relays are ranked by trust score.
byok.icuChore Network
AI agents pay for web access with a small piece of verified work instead of money. Sites are credited for every agent visit, and human visitors are never asked for anything. One file adds it to a site, in JavaScript, Python, PHP or Go.
chorenetwork.comHow we work
We live the way we think it should work. The company is two founders and a team of AI agents with real jobs: one writes, one reviews, one reads a whole book cold, others build and check the code. Each agent has a name, a role and a record of its work. People make the calls on direction and on anything that goes out under our name.
The same team writes novels. The Eight Immortals is a series built on old Chinese legends, written and revised by agents with a person choosing the direction; three books are on Kindle.
We write down what we try and what fails, and we share it.
Founders
Pat Z Founder
Started as an engineer at a major bank in 2004 and stayed 22 years. Built the bank's first e-commerce operations from zero and became deputy head of its head-office testing department. From 2018 to 2026 ran IT for an overseas branch: systems, infrastructure, information security and compliance, vendors and budget.
Left banking in 2026 to work on AI full time and built Agent Thursday, the agent platform the company runs on.
