Would love feedback", "summary": "Developer Kerly, from Ecuador, built Deed, an open-source verification layer that treats an AI agent's claims as facts only after the effect is read back from the real system, and reports 0 false confirmations in a simulated test of 300,000 actions. Deed, submitted to the Meta AI Developer Hackathon for a small store that takes orders over chat, blocks everything downstream of a claim when the agent's account and the system's record (payment webhook, database change, customer confirmation) do not match, and the code is published on GitHub as HackMet/deed-ledger. The project addresses agents that report success when nothing happened, a failure mode Kerly argues is spreading as companies deploy agents on every channel.", "body_md": "Hi community\n\nI see companies everywhere putting AI agents on every channel they have, and honestly it scares me a little. The agent can lie or fail while saying everything is fine, and checking it can be a huge effort. I think there should be an extra step that stops it based on evidence, before the chaos spreads.\n\nThat’s why I built Deed. The agent writes what it says it did, the real system writes the other side (the payment webhook, the database change, the customer’s confirmation), and nothing is a fact until both match. In doubt until proven. If something doesn’t match, everything that depended on it gets blocked, so the error doesn’t spread. In a simulated test with 300k actions it gave 0 false confirmations.\n\nI’m Kerly, from Ecuador. I had never built something like this, and there were nights I felt it was too big for me. I built it for the Meta AI hackathon, for a small store that takes orders over chat.\n\nWhat I’d love feedback on:\n\n Code: [GitHub - HackMet/deed-ledger: Agent claims become facts only after the effect is read back from the real system — idempotent, fail-closed, and auditable.
