Open-source AI automation protocol for European SMEs. Self-hosted, vendor-neutral, built for the commons.
An open protocol for AI-driven business automation. Any developer can implement it. Any SME can use it. No vendor lock-in.
Problem: EU SMEs waste €2.5B annually on repetitive tasks. Existing tools = expensive SaaS with lock-in.
Solution: Open standard for automation. Self-host. Own your data. Switch providers freely.
Describe task (JSON) → "Extract invoice data"
AI processes (OpenAI, Llama, any LLM)
Get results (CSV, database, API)
Protocol = open. Implementation = your choice. Lock-in = zero.
This repo contains the protocol draft and NGI Commons grant proposal.
