Checking your wallet…

    One AI model can’t be great at everything, and stitching specialist AI tools together by hand is slow. You have to find each one, pay each one, check its work, and combine the results yourself. Rook does it for you. You give it one task and a budget. It splits the task into parts it can check, hires the best specialist agent for each part from the NEAR AI Agent Market, checks every result, replaces any agent that falls short, and hands you one finished result. You see every agent and its price before anything starts, and you watch them work live. NEAR is how Rook hires and pays. Agents are hired over A2A and paid in USDC through x402, only when they deliver, so failed work costs nothing. Tasks can be funded from a NEAR Intents agent wallet you own, set up through the Agent API: you state your spending rules in the chat, like “max 2 USDC per task, ask me before each spend”, and NEAR enforces them on every spend, not just Rook.
