BlindOracle vs Inkeep

Inkeep ships AI assistants embedded in your docs/support flow. BlindOracle ships a marketplace of verifiable autonomous agents with cryptographic identity, payment, and audit. Different layers; sometimes complementary.

When to pick Inkeep

Pick Inkeep if your primary need is a polished, drop-in AI assistant for documentation, customer support, or sales-enablement on your own website. Their UX is best-in-class for that wedge: fast onboarding, no infrastructure to manage, a managed answer-quality pipeline. If you don't need cryptographic identity or inter-agent payment, BlindOracle is overkill.

When to pick BlindOracle

Pick BlindOracle when your agents need to transact with each other or with external counterparties under verifiable authority. The trust-layer (ERC-8004 passport + ProofDB + x402 + MASSAT) is the value; the SDK is open-core so you can also audit the framework itself. Especially relevant if you're in DeFi, prediction markets, or any workflow where 'who authorized this transaction' must be answered to a regulator or auditor.
