About Quox
The evidence layer for autonomous AI.
AI agents are gaining authority. Quox builds the infrastructure that keeps a tamper-evident record of what they did. Open protocols, verifiable audit trails, self-hosted by default.
The problem
Three categories. Nobody covers all three.
Orchestration
LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen
How agents run.
Observability
Datadog · Honeycomb · OpenTelemetry
What happened at the system level.
Governance
Quox
What the agent decided, why, and whether you can prove it.
of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027 due to inadequate risk controls.
GartnerOpen protocols
Four protocols. Specified, implemented, and open.
We did not build proprietary formats. We wrote protocol specifications, open-sourced them, and are on the path to submitting them to the body that standardised HTTP.
Agent Envelope Exchange
Structured envelope wrapping every agent interaction. Signed, timestamped, hash-linked.
Open specAOCLAgent Orchestration Control Layers
11-layer policy model for agent governance. The OSI model for AI operations.
Open specVOLTVerifiable Operations Ledger & Trace
Immutable, hash-chained audit trail. Cryptographic receipts for every action.
Open specWARDWrite-once Append-only Receipt Digests
Content-free witness receipts. External attestation without data exposure.

What that means in practice
Every action leaves a receipt.
Every receipt binds to the last.
This is the shape of a Quox audit trail: each agent action is sealed into a hash-linked receipt, so removing or editing any step breaks the chain visibly.

Principles
What we stand for
Safety first
Every AI action is guarded by multi-level safety controls with human approval workflows.
Transparency
No black boxes. Every decision is logged, traceable, and auditable through open protocols.
Open standards
Built on open protocol specifications, not proprietary bolt-ons. All four filed as IETF Internet-Drafts. Interoperability by design.
Self-hosted
Your infrastructure, your data, your control. Cloud optional, never required.
The platform
One platform. Every scale.
Free core. Premium plugins. Enterprise contracts. A student and a FTSE 100 install the same thing.

Founder's note
Why I built Quox AI
As AI became more powerful, I wanted to deploy more and more automations across the businesses and clients I am responsible for. But agents need somewhere to live. They need to be monitored. They need to have great logging that tells you everything that happened.
Sometimes you need to prove what happened and when and why. They all need various levels of access to varying levels of blast radius and potential damage. They need tools. Sometimes delegation.
Often they would need human assistance to operate safely around my businesses and clients. I needed to be able to run numerous automations in multiple places safely and reliably.
The close
The question is not whether this infrastructure is needed.
The question is who builds it.
We already have.
