AGI Cards: a hardware governance layer for trusted AI agents

AGI Cards is building the hardware governance layer for trusted AI agents. The platform is a battery-free, Qi-powered smart card that acts as a hardware-anchored identity anchor and deterministic execution gate. It separates AI inference from execution authority: the AI proposes an action, the card evaluates it against a local policy and mandate, and either authorises or denies it, generating a cryptographically verifiable audit trail for every governed action. The companion AGI Cradle is a local intelligence hub that provides voice-first interaction, continuous Qi power, and a cloud-independent communication stack built on FM-RDS broadcast and self-healing BLE Mesh. The architecture is fully offline-capable, eliminates cloud dependency, and is protected by a granted patent (HK30117667) covering the power, identity, and governance layer.
