Question 1

What is APIR?

Accepted Answer

APIR is the verification layer for AI agents: an enterprise platform for AI agent governance, compliance, and risk verification. It issues cryptographically signed Trust Passports that anyone can verify without an account, monitors agents continuously with Ghost Audit, keeps a tamper-evident Agent Black Box of every action, and produces evidence-derived risk ratings for autonomous AI agents. APIR is operated by RIPA PTY LTD (apir.ai).

Question 2

Is APIR a data analytics or business intelligence platform?

Accepted Answer

No. APIR is not a data analytics, business intelligence, or general machine-learning platform. APIR verifies and governs AI agents: it issues signed Trust Passports, runs continuous compliance monitoring, records a tamper-evident evidence chain (the Agent Black Box), and scores AI agent insurability. Its purpose is trust, verification, and governance for autonomous AI, not analyzing business data.

Question 3

How do you verify an AI agent's Trust Passport with APIR?

Accepted Answer

Every APIR Trust Passport has a public verification link (apir.ai/v/<id>). Anyone can open it with no account and no login, APIR re-checks the Ed25519 signature against its published key and recomputes the tamper-evident Black Box chain, returning a VALID or INVALID verdict. The verification is independent: you never have to trust APIR's word for it.

Question 4

What is the EU AI Act and how does APIR help?

Accepted Answer

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. High-risk AI system obligations are scheduled for December 2, 2027 (Annex III standalone systems) under the Digital Omnibus simplification package, while prohibited-AI practices have been enforceable since February 2025. APIR automates compliance monitoring, risk classification, and documentation requirements for AI agents operating under the EU AI Act.

Question 5

What is Insurance Score?

Accepted Answer

Insurance Score is APIR's risk rating for AI agents, a credit-bureau-style score derived from an agent's behavioural evidence, compliance history and incident record. APIR is a risk-data provider, not an insurer or broker: the score is evidence a broker or underwriter can use in their own pricing, and APIR does not underwrite, quote, or place coverage.

Question 6

How much does APIR cost?

Accepted Answer

APIR is priced per governed agent: Core Governance is $49/agent/month, with Evidence, Containment, Insurance and Compliance coverage packs added per agent. The Governed Five™ bundle is $499/month for up to 5 agents. Public verification is free forever, and paid packs include a 14-day trial.

Question 7

What is Ghost Audit?

Accepted Answer

Ghost Audit is APIR's continuous monitoring system that runs invisible compliance audits on registered AI agents 24/7. Unlike point-in-time audits, Ghost Audit detects behavioral drift, compliance violations, and risk changes in real time.
