# Earth Care Network — Developer Documentation

> Agent-native infrastructure for the regenerative economy: a public directory of mission-aligned businesses, a full CRM + automation workspace, and Jaguar — a proactive, consultative AI growth partner that finds aligned buyers, talent, and capital using live buying signals. Every AI action is metered in credits at real cost-plus. Hosted = managed credits only; BYOK is a self-host/Community-edition capability.
