Founder and CEO of Suede Labs AI · Founder and Managing Member of JC Investment Group · author of five books · Patent 63/947,120

Jason Colapietro builds systems that help creators record authorship, define rights, license work, and route revenue as media moves between people, platforms, and AI agents. At Suede Labs AI, his work spans programmable IP, provenance, registry-backed media, royalty routing, and agentic commerce over x402 and ERC-8004, with music and likeness as early use cases. He builds solo: every app, site, book, and pull request on this page is his own work.

Jason publishes as Johnny Suede.

Press kit and verified facts for journalists: suedeai.ai/press.

• OpenAI WebMCP Challenge, August 25 to September 3, 2026: entered with Suede Agent Studio's browser-native storefront, four page-scoped tools that let an in-browser agent find, inspect, dry-run, and buy a published service. Source published under MIT.
• Patent 63/947,120 on file with the USPTO.

• My apps on the App Store: Apple-hosted and not written by me, which is the scarce kind of proof. Every iOS app shipped under my name, with its current version and release date.
• Google Play and the Chrome Web Store: the same apps on Google's records.
• Merged upstream pull requests: GitHub's own search, scoped to repositories I don't own.
• Public IP registry: wallet-signed creator claims, file fingerprints, contributor records, and public timestamps; evidence, not legal title.

• A2A agent card: public agent identity, capabilities, and discovery metadata.
• Wikidata · Crunchbase · PitchBook: third-party identity records.

Most of it is Suede Creator Skills: 74 agent skills for Claude Code and Codex, installable as a plugin marketplace, 130 stars and counting. Alongside it: the Suede Python SDK for the x402 media endpoints, the elizaOS plugin that lets agents pay for music, video, and image generation over x402, claimcheck, which turns the promises on a privacy page into tests that fail the build, the Suede Market Maker, a self-hosted Solana market maker dashboard, and the WebMCP storefront source.

Beyond my own repos, I send fixes upstream when something bites me mid-build. Forty-one pull requests have merged across 38 repositories I don't maintain, as of September 5, 2026: connection capacity released after a failed RPC registration in Parity's Polkadot SDK, MCP provider guidance and Pay Kit protocol docs in Solana Pay, a bounded IPC frame length in elizaOS's Discord plugin, local socket ownership in the zeroclaw runtime, a focus-indicator hook in Adobe's React Spectrum, a Windows watcher crash and virtual mock cache-isolation bug in Jest, a catalog graph fix in Backstage, a dead Holesky chain descriptor removed from Hardhat, a missing-requirements crash in the x402 TypeScript client, the TSDB storage comparison in the Prometheus docs, an MCP release QA skill in GitHub's awesome-copilot, and honest errors for unsupported model architectures in nam-rs. Twenty-six of the 41 are substantive fixes, features, tests, and docs; the other fifteen are accepted listings of Suede's own projects on third-party lists. Check every one.
