APIR (apir.ai) is the evidence record for AI agents. APIR gives every AI agent signed papers and a tamper-evident work history that buyers, auditors and insurers can check without trusting you. It also seals files and checks a business before it is bought. It is operated by RIPA PTY LTD in Adelaide, South Australia, and is not APIR Systems, the financial identifier provider.

What does APIR stand for?

Audit, Proof, Identity, Record. Audit for the log book, Proof for the signatures and timestamps, Identity for the agent's signed ID, and Record for the history anyone can check.

Can APIR keep the record for an agent that runs outside APIR?

Yes. Register the agent at apir.ai/agents/connect, get an API key, and send each action to POST https://apir.ai/api/v1/events. Prompts and outputs stay on your side; only their SHA-256 hashes are sent. Each action goes into the same hash-chained log book. The first agent is free.

How do I check whether a file was sealed?

Drop the file at apir.ai/seal/check. It is fingerprinted in your browser and never uploaded. APIR says whether a named person sealed a declaration over those exact bytes, and for images and video whether something close to it was sealed. It never says whether a file is real or fake; an unsealed file is not a fake.

What does a seal prove?

That a named person declared the stated words over those exact file bytes no later than the date on the seal. The record is append-only and its head is timestamped each night by an outside RFC 3161 authority, and every seal has a portable proof that checks offline. APIR sealed the declaration and the files; it did not determine how the work was made.

How do I check a business seller's numbers?

Two tests run free at apir.ai/check-numbers: the tax return against the management accounts, and the receivables the billings imply against the receivables reported. For a signed answer, the Triage Verdict has a person read the documents and state within 48 hours whether the figures are consistent, inconsistent or insufficient. It is not an audit, a valuation or advice.

How do you verify an AI agent's papers?

Enter the agent's name or passport ID at apir.ai/check-agent. APIR re-checks the Ed25519 signature against its published key (apir.ai/.well-known/jwks.json, did:web:apir.ai) and reports the result. The signature can be checked offline without trusting APIR.

Is APIR a compliance platform or an insurer?

No. APIR does not run compliance programmes, does not insure or broker anything, and gives no legal, tax or valuation advice. It keeps a record and runs checks; what anyone does with the answer is theirs.

How much does APIR cost?

Every check is free and needs no account, the first papered agent is free, and sealing is free for a person. Paid acts, such as the Evidence Pack, Wage and Crew, the Numbers Check, the Triage Verdict and API use, each carry one fixed price on the rate card at apir.ai/pricing.

The papers and the log book

The papers say what an agent may do. The log book shows what it did.

Every agent on APIR carries papers and a log book from its first day. A buyer, an auditor or an insurer checks them with no account, without taking your word or ours.

Signed papers

A signed ID, Ed25519-signed under did:web:apir.ai, and a public Trust Passport once the agent is graded. The public keys are published, so a signature checks offline, in your own code, without asking us.

Open a real passport

A mandate

What the agent may do, for which tasks and up to what value, signed by its owner. Every check reads it back to whoever asks.

Outside timestamps

The chain head is timestamped every night by an outside RFC 3161 authority, so nobody can backdate an entry. APIR included.

How it is checked

How anyone checks it

01Look it upAn agent’s name or passport ID at the free check, or find it in the public registry. No account.
02Watch it recomputeThe signature is checked against the published key and the log book recomputed from what is stored, as of the moment you open it.
03Take the Evidence PackOne agent’s record, sealed and signed, behind a public link you forward to whoever asked.

APIR runs its own agents on the same papers and the same log book. They are the live demonstration: open one and watch its record check itself. See APIR’s own agents

Tamper-evident, verified as of the moment you open it, and independently verifiable. It proves the record is intact, never that the agent was right.

Who it is for

Sooner or later someone asks what your agent did.

A buyer asks. An insurer asks. In Australia, from 10 December, the Privacy Act asks you to describe the decisions your software makes about people. The answer should be a record anyone can open, not a promise someone has to believe.

AI vendors

Your deal is stuck at the security review.

The buyer’s questionnaire asks how your agent is controlled and what it actually did. The insurer asks the same thing. Send papers they can verify and a log book they can recompute, not another slide.

Your agent can run anywhere: connect it at apir.ai/agents/connect and it sends each action in one API call. Prompts stay on your side; only their hashes are sent.

Australian organisations

The Privacy Act changes on 10 December 2026.

From that date, APP 1.7 asks your privacy policy to describe automated decisions that use personal information and could significantly affect people. The disclosure is only as good as the record behind it: which agent decided what, and when.

APIR does not give legal advice. Your own lawyer writes the disclosure; we keep the record it rests on.

Auditors and insurers

Check it yourself. Take nobody’s word.

Every passport verifies against a published key. Every log book recomputes from what is stored, the moment you open it. Every chain head is timestamped by an outside authority APIR does not control. No account, no login, no call to us.

APIR is not an insurer or a broker, and it certifies no one. It keeps the record.

What we do not hold yet

No SOC 2, no ISO 27001 and no third-party penetration test. No underwriting partner. The log book proves what each agent reported and that nobody changed it afterwards; an agent that runs elsewhere connects through the events API. Everything else on this page you can check yourself.
