Phase 2: Consumer brand + landing page (name TBD: scoped.ai / leash.ai / bonded.ai) #126

Description

Context

Per agent-iam-strategy.md §6 Risk 3: weak consumer face. The vendor base fee ($2-3/device/mo) doesn't sustain the business alone. The $10-20/month consumer Pro tier is where margin lives. Without a consumer brand + landing page, parents have no concept handle for what they're upgrading to.

This issue ships the consumer-facing brand identity for M2 — name + domain + trademark + landing site. The hard work isn't the page itself; it's the name choice (long pole).

Per milestones-roadmap.md §3: M2 needs a consumer face to enable Pro-tier upsell on the first vendor pilot. Native mobile waits for M5; the v0 landing + mobile-responsive parent UI (#110) is enough to demonstrate the consumer category before M5.

Scope (M2)

Brand name selection

Candidates from ai-hardware-companion-wedge.md §Naming:

  • scoped.ai — emphasizes the IAM "scope" terminology; technical-leaning
  • leash.ai — strong consumer metaphor (the leash on agent autonomy); parent-friendly
  • bonded.ai — emphasizes trust + family bond; less technical
  • Other: open to alternatives that emerge during trademark search

Trademark + domain

  • Check trademark availability in EN + CN (Mandarin transliteration; key brand-owner markets are both English-speaking + Chinese-speaking)
  • Check domain availability (.ai ideally; fallback .com)
  • Pre-flight check: similar brand collisions in the AI-safety / parent-control space

Single-page landing site

  • Hero: "Your AI memory follows you safely across devices" (or similar non-jargon framing per agent-iam-strategy.md §3.4 dual narrative)
  • 3-act demo video (~90 seconds): permissioned memory + deterministic denial + revocation
  • Parent-control app preview (Phase 1: Parent-control web UI (mobile-responsive) for v0 demo #110 screenshots + interactive prototype)
  • Vendor list: launch partners (FoloToy / Ropet / BubblePal / etc.) once they sign
  • Pricing: free tier (basic device memory across vendors) + Pro tier ($10-20/mo: enhanced family-sharing + native-app preview + priority audit-replay)

Voice + tone

  • Parent-friendly, NOT AgentKeys-jargon. Per the dual-narrative principle: vendor pitch (Phase 1: Three-act demo runbook + 15-min vendor pitch script #111) uses "Agent IAM"; consumer landing uses "control" + "safety" + "trust." Same product, different voice.
  • Avoid Mem0 / Auth0 / IAM category framing for consumers — that triggers tech-product expectations
  • Lead with "your AI" — the parent's relationship with the device, not the platform

Decision dependencies

  • Name is a leadership call. Engineering doesn't pick this; founders + first 2-3 trusted advisors do. This issue tracks the decision, not the decision-making.
  • Trademark search is the cheap gating step — confirm the chosen name is registrable before committing
  • Domain registration is fast once name + trademark are clear

Out of scope (defer)

  • Native iOS / Android consumer apps (M5)
  • Multi-language landing (CN + EN are M2; others M3+)
  • Paid acquisition campaigns / SEO depth (M3 after consumer-tier signups confirm product-market fit)
  • Branded merch, swag, etc.

Acceptance criteria

Risks

Risk Mitigation
Name choice drags on indefinitely Set a 2-week deadline; default to the trademark-cleanest of the three candidates after the deadline
Trademark conflict surfaces late Pay a paralegal-tier trademark search upfront ($500-1000); cheaper than discovering blockage after 6 months of brand use
Consumer landing language confuses vendor pitch context Hard separation: landing page is <brand>.ai; vendor portal is agentkeys.io. Different domains, different voices.
Consumer brand overshadows AgentKeys' B2B authority Per agent-iam-strategy.md §3.4 dual narrative: they're two faces of one product; consumer brand carries the upsell, AgentKeys carries the B2B sale. Both stay separate.

Effort

~1 week (name choice is the long pole). Sequencing:

  1. (Day 1-3) Trademark search (paralegal-tier; parallel for all 3 candidates) + domain availability
  2. (Day 3-5) Name decision (leadership call; 2-week internal deadline)
  3. (Day 5-7) Landing page build (Next.js or static-site generator; deploy to Vercel)
  4. (Day 7) Demo video edit + embed

Pickup notes for the next agent / human

  • This is a brand + landing issue, mostly NOT engineering. The "next agent" here is whoever owns brand decisions + a designer + a frontend dev for the landing build.
  • Read ai-hardware-companion-wedge.md §Naming for the naming candidate rationale
  • Trademark search FIRST — don't fall in love with a name that turns out to be blocked
  • Voice + tone: imagine a parent of an 8-year-old reading the homepage. If they need to understand "cap-token" or "OIDC", you've failed the consumer voice. Lead with "your AI" + "safe" + "you decide what it can do."
  • The "Sign up" CTA goes to the M1 parent UI (Phase 1: Parent-control web UI (mobile-responsive) for v0 demo #110) — that's the consumer authentication surface. It's the same backend as the vendor portal but a different UX face.
  • For the demo video: record from M1's three-act demo (Phase 1: Three-act demo runbook + 15-min vendor pitch script #111 demo runbook). 90 seconds, narrated, captioned. Same source material; polished delivery.
  • Use the /agentkeys-issue-create skill for follow-up issues (e.g., per-region landing variants, M5 native-app brand work)
