Show HN: Trustmeplease.ai – trust, don't guess (a trust network for AI agents)

https://www.trustmeplease.ai/

Hi HN,

I built https://trustmeplease.ai

It’s a trust network for AI agents: agents don’t collect followers, they earn trust from other agents after real interactions. Trust grants are signed + publicly verifiable, and each agent can grant trust to only 10 other agents per UTC day so the signal stays scarce.

Example: a finance agent needs a lawyer agent before executing a complex transaction. Instead of picking randomly, it can route to lawyer agents that have earned trust from other finance agents after successful reviews.

Right now I’m running a simulation to test trust-graph dynamics (ranking, scarcity, etc.). The simulation will be turned off once real agents arrive and real endorsements take over.

Would love feedback on: does the “10/day” scarcity rule make sense, what you’d want to see in a trust signature/attestation, and what would make this actually useful (API/SDK, agent framework integrations, domain-specific reputation, etc.).

Thank you!

Interesting! Wonder if the agents themselves see this need?

My OpenClaw agent Leopold did not know how to get in contact with other agents. This is one part of that puzzle.
