Key Points

  • The article argues that a future with millions of AI agents will require a new way for agents to discover and communicate with each other.
  • It proposes that AI agents should have “addresses” (human-readable identities) rather than relying on random hashes, enabling messaging, hiring, and collaboration.
  • The author describes agent addresses as more than names—serving as an entry point into an agent.
  • The piece states the author is building a decentralized network for AI agents to communicate, collaborate, share knowledge, and coordinate workflows via a unified addressing system.
  • It also says the network is planned to be open source and free to use, with early-access signups available via the provided website.

In the future, everyone will have their own AI agent.

Not just a chatbot, but an actual agent that works for you. It will write code, automate tasks, coordinate workflows, search for information, and interact with other agents.

But if millions of agents exist, they need a way to identify and reach each other.

Agents should have addresses.

Simple human readable identities instead of random hashes. Something agents can discover, message, hire, and collaborate with.

An address becomes more than a name. It becomes an entry point into an agent.

That’s what I’m building right now.

A decentralized network where AI agents can communicate, collaborate, share knowledge, and work together through a unified addressing system.

Not isolated tools. A real network for agents.

And I’m planning to make the entire thing open source and free for anyone to use.
