  • AntSeed — AntSeed operates a peer-to-peer protocol and open marketplace for AI services, connecting buyers with independent providers for model inference, agents, and routing. The network uses BitTorrent DHT for discovery and WebRTC for transport, while payments settle in USDC on the Base blockchain through non-custodial smart contracts. Providers define their own services and pricing, and on-chain settlement data is used to build verifiable performance and reputation metrics. AntSeed exposes OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs via a local proxy so existing tools, frameworks, and autonomous agents can route requests through the network. For non-technical users, the AntStation desktop application offers a chat interface that selects providers based on factors such as model type, cost, latency, and privacy. The ecosystem also includes the ANTS utility token, which underpins emissions and incentive programs tied to real network activity.

Portfolio highlights

  • Zomni AI — Zomni Solutions Private Ltd builds an agentic AI harness — a reusable engineering platform for designing, launching, and operating high‑impact AI products. The platform integrates large language models, proprietary orchestration workflows, behavioural feedback loops, and safety controls to power reliable AI companions and utilities. Cosmuna, Zomni’s flagship product, is now live and available for public use. Cosmuna is an AI transformation companion built on Zomni’s agentic architecture and Blueprint engine. It helps users clarify what matters, turn intentions into commitments, navigate timing and obstacles, and capture proof of real change in daily life. As a live product, Cosmuna generates recurring revenue and actively validates the underlying harness by demonstrating Zomni’s ability to ship mission‑driven AI products that increase human clarity, agency, and happiness. Cosmuna (Zomni’s flagship product) initial customers are digitally literate, growth‑oriented adults (22–40) seeking measurable life change rather than generic inspiration or prediction. They engage with self‑development, coaching, spirituality, or astrology but struggle to translate insight into consistent action. Cosmuna provides personalised timing guidance, commitment support, obstacle navigation, and a visible proof trail of progress. The company is launching first in the UK, using digital acquisition to refine positioning, pricing, retention, and transformation outcomes before expanding to wider English‑speaking markets. Because Cosmuna is fully digital and already live, Zomni can scale globally once the proposition is validated. Zomni’s current business model centres on digital subscriptions for Cosmuna, with premium tiers and add‑on experiences as transformation outcomes strengthen. Defensibility comes from its reusable agentic AI harness, the Cosmuna Blueprint engine, accumulated behavioural data loops, and a brand built around humane, evidence‑based transformation. Each new product built on the harness compounds Zomni’s technical infrastructure and speed of execution. Strategically, Zomni aims to: (1) help millions achieve evidence‑based transformation in self‑image, behaviour, and life outcomes; (2) prove and continually improve an agentic AI harness capable of powering a portfolio of humane, mission‑driven products; and (3) grow a sustainable, values‑led company advancing responsible AI engineering. Immediate priorities include scaling Cosmuna’s live experience, validating repeated engagement, collecting proof‑of‑change signals, and using these insights to refine the harness, acquisition strategy, and product roadmap. Zomni is seeking the resources and partnerships required to move from early launch to sustained growth while maintaining its commitment to responsible AI and measurable human benefit.
