ZAMBO / ANSWERS
AI Agent Answers
Plain answers about using Zambo, keeping your work, and checking receipts. A receipt shows what Zambo recorded for one call. It does not prove the answer is right.
In short: AI agent answers are concise, canonical pages that explain receipts, proof of work, continuity, model switching, and agent handoffs, with a verifiable path back to the Zambo connection and live receipts.
Advanced (for developers)
AI agent execution receipt: A verifiable record of one AI agent tool call, containing its UUID, timestamp, SHA-256 hash of the event, and public verification page. This collection explains how to inspect what an agent actually did.
This collection is written by Brennan Zambo for people and agents who need a plain-language answer before they act. Each page separates a plan from completed work and points to a stable next step.
