7:40am
You’re getting the kids ready.
Your agent pays the electric bill — $132.40, under the $200 cap you set.
RECEIPT ✓AI that doesn’t just talk.
It does — for you, as far as you allow, and proves it.
Trothward lets your AI actually do things for you — pay, book, file, watch, follow up — in the real world, not just the chat window.
You set the rules once: how much, with whom, and when it must stop and ask you first — it can never go further than you allowed.
Everything it does, even refusing, comes back with a receipt you can check yourself. Don’t trust us. Check.
A day with it
One person’s Tuesday Their agent, working — every act stamping a receipt as you scroll

You’re in a meeting.
It books the dentist for Thursday, the slot you’d have picked.

Lunch.
It spots a $49.99 charge you don’t recognize and flags it to you.
RECEIPT ✓3:05pm
Heads-down work.
A payment request arrives it’s never seen before — outside your rules.
It stops. And asks you.
HELD · YOUR CALLAnyone can promise AI that acts. This is the moment it refuses to act — because you hadn’t allowed it — and hands you the proof. The refusal is the product.

The promise
- You set the rules. Plain limits, written once: amounts, places, people, timing — and what always needs your yes.
- It cannot go further. Not “it probably won’t.” The limits are enforced before anything happens — over the line, it stops and asks you.
- Everything leaves a receipt. Every act, every refusal, every question — a receipt you can check yourself, anytime, without trusting us.
We build this in the open. Today’s demonstrations run on practice accounts — the receipts are real and you can check every one.
Here is one, from a real practice day. Select it — it re-checks in your browser, no account, no key:

Every plain phrase above has a precise name underneath. One layer deeper, this is the machinery:
| We say | The precise term |
|---|---|
| your rules / what you allowed | a Mandate — a written, revocable grant |
| your agent | a governed agent (GPAgent) |
| a receipt you can check | a sealed record on a tamper-evident chain |
| it stops and asks you | an escalation — your yes arrives outside the agent’s reach |
| check it yourself | keyless re-derivation at verify.braas.dev |
| on your leash / within your limits | deny-by-default enforcement — ungranted means refused |
| the record of everything | the ledger — every act, refusal, and question, in order |
The rails under all of it are open to integrate — the same limits and receipts, for builders and institutions.
For professionals
CPAs, attorneys, owners — the same leash and the same receipts, strong enough for work you’re liable for. Rules first. Receipts always.
