Access Control and Monetization

Group Contexts for Enhanced Collaboration

Many companies use agents for generating marketing material, research, internal code docs, etc. This knowledge is proprietary and should only be accessible to the designated individuals. OCL’s access control layer can allow context-owners (admins) to create rules around who can access the context to be injected into agents for fine-tuning the results based on specific information. Some examples of rules could be:

  • Only allow people with valid domains to access the context

  • Only allow X,Y people for Z time duration to access the context

The protocol allows users to create programmatic rules to be created around access control to support a large variety of uses.

Privacy-Conscious Users With Fine-Grained Controls

Users today can’t choose what context is shared, with whom, or when. Users can configure a multiple contexts to be shared with different agents or apps based on fine-grained rules:

  • Your AI writing tool gets your tone and domain knowledge

  • Your AI shopping agent gets only your product preferences

  • Your mental health agent gets emotional history

But none of these tools talk to each other unless you allow it. Moreover, you maintain complete control, can revoke access, and have transparent logs of who accessed what and under what permissions, all verifiable through blockchain.

Monetization of Contexts

Some contexts created by users can represent their specific knowledge, taste, or personality. For example, a teacher can create a context for teaching students a specific knowledge in a specific way. Similarly, an artist can create a context with their specific taste. But today, there is not a clear cut way to monetize these contexts, e.g. Miyazaki’s Ghibli Studio trend went viral without the original studio getting any of the proceeds.

Contexts will replace courses, auto-biographies, and creative studios. These contexts can be sold, rented or shared either for free or for a fee.

OCL provides a way for users to create rules around who can use their context. They can charge a price for perpetual licenses (access for all time), rentable subscriptions (access until monthly dues are being paid), access for a specific time (e.g. 1 day), and friendly share (access forever without any charges).

Monetization is a billion dollar opportunity and OCL provides the programmatic rails for it.
