Work Local AI is a machine-to-machine paid API that provides curated AI tool reviews, industry benchmarks, training content, and ROI projections — designed for AI agents to consume programmatically.
Agents pay per request using USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. No API keys, no subscriptions. Payment is authentication.
