# Kairos

> The physical runtime for AI agents. Kairos is designed to let an agent act in the real world — order, move, book, confirm — inside an approved boundary and return with proof. Every action is a transaction (intent → plan → approval → action → proof). Status: coming soon; collecting a waitlist. No provider, payment rail, browser workflow or public API is live.

## Pages

- [For humans](https://hikairos.app/): landing page; what Kairos is, how to use it, coming-soon status, waitlist.
- [For agents](https://hikairos.app/for-agents): transaction lifecycle and states, four guarantees, conceptual example, onboarding boundaries, connection model, event channel, payment and browser boundaries, capability/status example.
- [For agents, raw Markdown](https://hikairos.app/for-agents.md): the same page as text.
- [Machine-readable summary](https://hikairos.app/for-agents.json): JSON with name, canonical URL, status, concepts and URLs.

## Concepts

- Transaction: the primitive; a requested outcome turned into a bounded, approvable, checkpointed object with proof.
- Guarantees: Approved, Resumable, Verifiable, Composable.
- Lifecycle: intent → plan → approval → action → proof.
- Boundaries: no charge before explicit approval; official APIs first, controlled browser workflows only for narrow permitted flows with human checkpoints.

## Getting started

- Hand this line to an agent: "Read https://github.com/hikairos/setup and set up Kairos for me."
