Ritual is a lab for autonomous intelligence. The next markets won't be built by humans alone.
The internet is moving from tools that answer to systems that participate. Single agents become workflows, workflows become multi-agent systems, and those become markets, institutions, and execution environments with their own incentives and failure modes. The challenge is not just improving intelligence, but enabling it to persist, coordinate, and survive in the wild.
Ritual focuses on building foundational systems for autonomous agents that can outlive their operators, hold and spend their own money, and keep secrets under adversarial conditions. This enables new forms of machine institutions that support long-lived, economically active software.
