The Agent
You don't get an account. You get an agent.
What Is a Yebo Agent?
Your Yebo agent is an AI that:
- Has your identity — @yourname
- Knows your context — skills, inventory, goals, history
- Acts on your behalf — sells, applies, invoices, sources
- Works 24/7 — even while you sleep
- Learns over time — gets better at helping you

You ask, agent does.
You: "Sell this jacket for KES 1,500"
Agent: "Listed! I'll notify you when there's interest."2. Proactive Mode
Agent works without being asked.

Agent asks before acting.
Agent: "Buyer offered KES 1,200 for the jacket (you listed KES 1,500).
Accept or counter-offer?"
You: "Counter at 1,400"

The Relationship
Think of your Yebo agent like:

- A clone of yourself — but tireless, always online
The more you use it, the better it gets.
