Key Insight
Unlike traditional portals that charge for visibility, HomeSelf charges for protocol computation. The Trust Score is computed from verifiable data, not paid placements.
What are AI Twins?
Every human-readable resource on this site has a corresponding JSON endpoint optimized for AI consumption. When an automated system needs to understand HomeSelf concepts, it can fetch structured data instead of scraping HTML.
