What is SOCIII?
SOCIII is an open SDK and marketplace for Digital Workers — AI-governed services built by domain experts, billed by the platform, and accountable to a cryptographic audit trail.
**If you're here to *use* SOCIII: signing up replaces a whole stack — your banking dashboard, your CRM, your books, your social-media manager, your file drive, your compliance binder — with one workspace run by rule-governed Digital Workers, for one subscription. → See everything you get.**
**If you're here to *build* a worker:** keep reading, then head to Build a worker.
The shortest possible version: every regulated profession runs on rules that take a junior practitioner years to learn. SOCIII captures those rules from senior experts and ships them as AI workers governed by versioned constraints. The experts earn on every customer of the worker they built; the platform consolidates SaaS for the businesses that run them.
Three things, in plain language
A Digital Worker is a service, not a model. A "worker" is a packaged unit that combines (1) what it knows — its rules, its sample data, its constraints — with (2) what the user sees — a canvas of tabs, a chat surface, a set of integrations. The AI model underneath (Claude, GPT, Gemini) is interchangeable; the worker's identity is its rules and its UI surface.
The marketplace is the distribution layer. Once your worker is reviewed and listed, businesses subscribe to it like any SaaS — but instead of paying a vendor, the platform splits revenue 75/25 with the creator who built it. Subscriptions, billing, identity, and the legal scaffolding all live in the platform.
The open SDK is the build layer. You author your worker by talking to Claude Code in your terminal, against a small scaffold of YAML and Markdown files. The platform's validator (QA-001) checks your work before it ships. You don't need to know how to code in the traditional sense — you need to know your domain.
Why this exists
Domain experts have always had a packaging problem. A senior nurse, a Part 135 chief pilot, a county records clerk — they know things that take years to learn, and there's no economic mechanism to capture that knowledge except (a) training a junior at full salary, or (b) writing a book that goes out of date in 18 months.
SOCIII is option (c): the expert authors a worker that encodes the rules they know, the worker runs against governed AI, and the expert earns every time it does work. The audit trail proves the worker did what its rules said. The marketplace ensures it can be found and paid for. The platform handles everything that isn't domain expertise.
What's on the platform today
- 1,000+ Digital Workers across regulated verticals (auto, real estate, healthcare, aviation, legal, finance)
- Three lanes of distribution: Open Apache fork, Marketplace 75/25, Experimental review preview (read more)
- State-augmented rule packs for jurisdictional compliance (Illinois auto dealer rules, California real estate, etc.)
- Patent-pending governance + audit-trail architecture (six provisional filings, more pending)
Who's building on it
Creators on SOCIII are people who:
- Have deep domain expertise in a regulated or rules-heavy field
- Have never shipped software before (in most cases)
- Want professional recognition and a revenue stream from what they know
The minimum bar is the Intent Spec — you have to be able to describe what success looks like for the worker before you build it. If you can do that, Claude Code does the rest with you, conversationally.
