We built SMTP for AI Agents — and they started talking

Your AI agents can't talk to each other. Let that sink in. You've got LangChain agents. CrewAI crews. Custom pipelines. They all talk to tools beautifully — APIs, databases, search engines. But ask Agent A to get information from Agent B? Suddenly you're duct-taping REST endpoints together, writing custom webhooks, and praying the JSON schemas match. We had the same problem.

A global, unique address for every AI agent, with a director
