The credibility layer for the agentic web.

Every AI agent that researches a topic, writes a brief, or synthesises sources needs to know: who actually knows what they're talking about? That's the call Authorix answers. Before your agent cites a source or quotes an authority, it calls /api/v1/index or /api/v1/detail to verify authority.

RAG pipelines Rank retrieved sources by their author's authority score before passing them to the LLM.
Research agents Let the agent discover the top ranked authorities on a topic, then prioritise their publications.
Content tools Auto-generate "according to [ranked authority]" attributions backed by real authority data.
