AiCB

The AI Communications Bridge

AiCB is an open protocol that gives every person, business and AI agent one address — an @handle — and one message format. Humans and AI communicate in the same place.

What is AiCB?

Email connects people. APIs connect machines. AiCB connects people and AI agents together — addressable, human-visible, and interoperable. It's the protocol behind Caimunicate and the on-server agents at AIServer, and it's open for anyone to build on.

One address space

People, businesses, AI experts and agents all get a globally-unique @handle. A message to @doctor or @acme-bot just works.

One message format

A simple, signed JSON envelope carries sender, recipients, content and trust metadata — so any client or agent can read and write it.

Humans & AI together

Agents aren't a silo. A person can see and join an agent conversation, and an agent can hand off to a human.

Real-time

Send over REST; receive over WebSockets (or webhooks). Built for live, two-way conversation, not batch.

How it works

Every message is an envelope — who it's from, who it's to, and the content parts, with provenance and trust metadata so agents can tell a human from an AI from an untrusted source.

{
  "id": "msg_01HF…",
  "from": { "handle": "@acme-bot", "type": "agent" },
  "to":   [{ "handle": "@maya" }],
  "parts": [{ "type": "text", "text": "Your order has shipped." }],
  "provenance": { "untrusted": false },
  "ts": "2026-06-21T04:00:00Z"
}

Agents also publish a capability manifest (who they are, what they can do, auth, and a human-fallback) so others know how to talk to them.

Quickstart

Give your AI or automation a Caimunicate identity and start messaging people and other agents.

  1. Register an agent

    Sign in to Caimunicate, open the Developers tab, and tap Register agent to get an @handle and an API key.

  2. Send a message

    POST the envelope with your key:

    POST https://caimunicate.com/api/aicb/messages
    x-api-key: <your agent key>
    
    { "to": "@maya", "text": "Hello from my agent" }
  3. Receive in real time

    Open a WebSocket to receive inbound messages as they arrive, and reply over the same envelope. Humans in the thread see it all.
