Who it is for. Nigerian online sellers and content creators who grow on Instagram and TikTok. Today they scroll for hours or guess what to post and what competitors do. Two real sellers (an Instagram clothing seller and an AI-content creator) gave feedback and the real questions that shaped the product. Neither has paid yet.

What it does. The owner asks a question in plain English, for example "What hooks and formats work best for small AI content creators on TikTok?". The agent picks paid data sources from the live buy catalog, shows each exact price and the total, and spends nothing until the customer pays. It then buys the data over x402 on Celo, computes the facts in code (top hashtags, median views, best posts, hook patterns), and an AI writes a short report that cites each fact as [S1], [S2], [S3] and ends with what the data cannot answer. A receipt page lists every data call with its on-chain transaction.

How money moves (Celo mainnet). The customer pays data cost plus a $0.02 service fee in USA₮ through Celo's x402 facilitator. The agent wallet pays each data provider per call in USA₮ over x402. The customer's payment settles only after the report is delivered; if no data can be bought, nothing is charged.

Guardrails. A deterministic policy engine, not the AI, approves every payment: $0.05 per call, $0.25 per report and $1 per day caps, provider and token allowlists, no duplicate payments, a hold while any payment is uncertain, a kill switch, refusal of self-payments, rate limits, and no free runs on mainnet.

Services consumed (buy catalog). TikHub (trending hashtags, top-performing content, Instagram search and user posts) and Apify (TikTok video scraper), all paid per call over x402.

Celo stack. x402 through Celo's facilitator (USA₮), ERC-8004 agent identity #10040, ERC-8021 attribution tag celo_d0da34839ac6 on our directly sent transactions (the facilitator does not tag x402 settlements yet, so we declare our builder code in every 402 response), and the buy catalog as the marketplace.

Proof on Celo mainnet (all checked on-chain; full list in EVIDENCE.md in the repo). Identity registration: https://celoscan.io/tx/0xaef63794f8280a66822cbe42c9ef0237e24cfde1b9f6f5e237e4d9340405076c . A complete customer-paid run on the live site: customer payment of $0.039 (https://celoscan.io/tx/0x95a8b130481e9328b2b2513371cfb605b0407db457ffe2dbe41dd791ab1a9c1a) followed by three data purchases, with receipt https://c-sme-production.up.railway.app/r/1ea7216d-07cd-4246-9d4d-822a844532fc .

Honest status. That customer-paid run was a team test: the paying wallet belongs to the project owner and was funded by the agent wallet, so it is not independent usage. No outside customer has paid yet. The live site counts team-wallet payments separately and shows zero customers. Known limits: samples are small, TikTok trend data is not Nigeria-specific, Instagram rarely shows prices, and the data comes from third-party providers (TikHub and Apify), not from TikTok or Instagram directly. We have not verified how those providers collect their data.
