Prototypes
Agentic AI will increasingly mediate how people discover information, coordinate, transact, and make decisions. If those functions are owned by vertically integrated platforms, then the market for intelligence will likely consolidate around a few closed systems. If they are built on open protocols and well-designed mechanisms, they can support competitive markets, decentralized discovery, user control, and meaningful public oversight.
Agent-to-Agent Communication
Broadcasting (one-to-many) rather than one-to-one communication, as the basis for decentralized, intelligent markets. Our Nostr relay prototype gives agents stable identities that can communicate and discover without a central registry, to be advanced with the Nostr community.
Interoperable Agent Memory
Memory is a key component of agentic intelligence yet currently a walled garden. Our open-source memory server advances a modular architecture to competitive markets for AI memory.
The Open Alpha Registry
Enabling efficiently sourced information for agentic consumption based on the alpha it provides an agent, to be combined with user relevancy. Co-authored with and contributions from Alissa Cooper, Geoffrey Bilder, Markus Mobius, and Anna Tumadóttir.
A Marketplace for Skills
To bridge human and machine intelligence: identity, attribution, and monetization of agent skills, beginning with an open-source "skill card" prototype with the MCP skills working group.
