Marginal cost → 0
When machines do the work, the cost of producing value collapses. The savings should circulate, not concentrate.
Companies and Institutions Contribute — fund the pool through a 20% avg solidarity tax on their AI consumption or direct donation.
Humans Receive — a monthly cash share, with no strings attached.
AI and robotics are absorbing more of the economy's productive energy every year. OpenIncome is the layer that ensures a slice of that productivity flows back — to everyone, everywhere.
When machines do the work, the cost of producing value collapses. The savings should circulate, not concentrate.
AI generates value 24/7 with no fatigue. A thin slice of that flow funds a baseline for everyone — by design, not by promise.
Not a replacement for salaries or social systems — an additional income layer paid by the machines themselves.
We don't tax every micro-transaction. We tax money entering the system and money leaving it — so consumers and receivers contribute equally, with no friction inside.
A small, transparent percentage goes straight to the universal-income pool. After that, every API call inside the system is tax-free at the call level — your latency and DX stay clean.
When a member withdraws their share — or any payout leaves the system — a symmetric percentage stays in the pool. Receivers contribute back, so the system regenerates itself at every cycle.
Every model we proxy — text, image, video, audio, embeddings — is reachable through your single OpenIncome key. OpenAI-compatible, with provider failover and edge inference baked in.
