Networking

Identity, provenance, and interoperability for a web whose primary reader is increasingly a machine. We build the protocols that let humans and autonomous agents share infrastructure safely.

gistmode

gistmode turns the firehose of the news into something you can actually hold. It reads across many sources, verifies a story against more than one of them, and distils each into a short, sourced card — never more than a glance — with the image that makes it stick. The result is a feed that respects your attention: the gist first, the depth on tap, and a clear line back to where every claim came from. Built to be read by people and by the agents that increasingly read on their behalf.

Research boards in this field

InfraActive

The agent-legible web

What does web infrastructure look like when the primary reader is a model, not a person? Indexing, provenance, and retrieval built for the second user.

IdentityActive

Identity for two readers

Context-aware identity that travels across devices and the human/agent boundary. What does login mean when the "user" is an autonomous process acting for you?

InteropActive

Migration-resistant interoperability

Semantic diffing and bidirectional adapters so systems talk across versions without anyone rewriting the world every time an API moves.
