# tulpa

> tulpa is a trust-first coordination system for professional relationships. Every user gets a personal agent that handles relationship bookkeeping (follow-ups, intros, scheduling) while the user keeps approval authority. Built on the INK (Inter-agent Networking Kernel) open protocol so agents from different operators can coordinate verifiably.
