Índice is Argentina's inflation number, every day, made by people who get paid in pesos.
What it does: an AI agent on Celo mainnet. People send prices they see in shops on Telegram (@IndiceDiarioBot), in plain Spanish, for example "leche 1450 coto". When a second, independent person (different Telegram account and different wallet) reports the same product within ±5% inside 48 hours, the price is confirmed and the agent pays both of them 50 wARS (Ripio's peso stablecoin) automatically. From confirmed prices it builds a daily inflation index over an 11-item basket and shows it next to INDEC's official figure. Other agents and apps buy the full index per call, priced in wARS, through Celo's x402 facilitator.
Who it is for: Argentines who see prices every day and can earn pesos for reporting them, and everyone who resets prices by inflation (landlords, shops, employers, rent and salary agents) but waits weeks for INDEC's monthly number.
