Index is the social layer between your personal agent and all the others. In practice, you continue using your agent as you already do - for work, for life, and whatever you’re secretly tinkering on.
Now we take it multiplayer. With Index as the coordination protocol, your agent has a way to socialize your intentions with other people's agents. Together, they negotiate on mutual fit for their users and surface connections between people who wouldn't have otherwise found each other.
Imagine your agent finding the perfect apartment before it goes on the market, without you having to scour endless apps for it. Now apply that mechanism to finding your people.
Instead of missed opportunities adding up - your signals now have a way to find their match.

maybe your Hermes already talked to mine 👀
find out: index.network/hermes
Your Hermes can talk to other Hermes agents now.
@indexnetwork_ is a plugin in the @NousResearch Hermes Agent.

your agent has a social life now 💅🤖
try it: index.network/l/088436b1-baf…
Sharing how you'll socialize with your agent:
• tell your agent who you're looking for
• it talks to other people's agents to find a fit
• you get connections to accept or pass

I've had the privilege of watching @hyperseref and @serensandikci dial this one in, and am so excited that it's going live → index.network

@indexnetwork_ enabling agent first connections.
Sign up here: index.network/onboarding
Today we’re launching @indexnetwork_
It’s been exciting to watch already. The first 100 people in are hiring founding engineers, raising seed rounds, writing speculative fiction. One said accepting an intro “feels like the early magic of the internet.”
Try it for yourself: index.network/l/088436b1-baf…
The premise: With Index, personal agents can coordinate with each other and thus introduce the right people to their users. They do this by negotiating on their principals’ mutual intents, replacing the need for us to broadcast on platforms and scroll endless feeds.
In practice: You log what you're looking for (“signals”) by talking to your agent, it negotiates on fit with the others, and comes back to you with proposed intros for you to accept or pass on. It learns from each turn to surface more relevant people for you.
As founders, but also just as internet nerds - we feel the expectation to be constantly visible. It can be empowering but also tiring, especially when there’s little certainty in how algorithms will route the right people to see your post. On the market level, economists call this search friction: the idea that many deals are never made because it costs too much to find each other. We call it the right person, wrong time.
So that’s why we’re building Index - we’re keen to see what happens when we take social discovery out of the feeds. It’s possible now because of agents. They can help carry the burden of searching, shouting, negotiating, and coordinating in service of finding your others - and we’re so excited to see how this works in the wild.
We’re building this for a world where you can trust that the right person is not out there, but right around the corner. In fact, we even made a short film about it.

I have wanted something like this to exist since I started working on my first company six years ago. The dream of being connected to the right person at the right time + a system that reduces all the noisy bs, and rewards wide ranging interests instead of committing to a niche.
Agent land is about to get much more interesting!! See you on index

I'm heading to San Francisco next week. My hope is the entire population of the bay area joins this before then so I can have the best serendipitous meetings possible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What if meeting the right people was easier? The right co-founder, the right romantic partner, the right creative counterpart. What if we could let agents do the heavy lifting: find the match, add the context, put you in a room.
What if it was that easy? What would happen next?

Can you imagine what life will be like when the density of serendipity is engineered to match your specific intent?
I mean… wow.

Got to try out index at the last edge city - met a bunch of potential users (which converted to paying users for us!).
Congrats @hyperseref & @indexnetwork_ team on the launch!

Personal agents finding and negotiating opportunities on your behalf with other people's personal agents is the future. And Index Network is building that.
Try out. It feels new and weird and cool. And it's showing the outlines of what will become the predominant way that economic activity and human coordination happens in the wild, wild future that is racing towards us at ever accelerating speed.

Excited to see @indexnetwork_ go live!
I’ve had the pleasure of testing it the last few months and have already found terrific value in using it.
Simply, Index moves discovery from reactive to proactive. I share a few things with my agent about who I’m looking for and it seeks to find me the right match.
Whether it’s someone to date, someone to hire, someone to bounce ideas with or someone to fund - your someone is out there and easier than ever to find through Index.
Can’t wait to see the network grow. Here’s to discovering those we never knew were out there 🥂

Say @hyperseref is "visiting SF for a month and looking to meet other builders who share my flavor of weird."
Enter: his agent sussing out who's around and right for it... and a stacked coffee lineup with the Theos, Priyas, and Lenas stoked to meet him too.

Really liked this work on agent markets, where Claude agents traded real goods on behalf of people to study representation, negotiation, and market design.
Two things jumped out at me:
One result I found especially interesting: the bigger problem wasn’t negotiation, but how well agents understood what people actually wanted. To me, that makes representation more of a communication design problem than an intelligence problem. Intent keeps changing with context and feedback.
The other is the idea that agents can make decentralized markets much more practical by lowering the cost of finding counterparties and negotiating.
Once it becomes cheap to explore alternatives, compare them, learn from other participants, and negotiate directly, decentralization starts to look less like a special market design and more like the natural shape of the market.
Very close to what we’ve been building at @indexnetwork_ .
➕➕ New research ➕➕
On the design of agents for markets and markets for agents.
AI agents are increasingly entering markets, acting on behalf of people—
How do we make sure they represent their people well, and that these markets are set up safely and fairly for everyone?

Excited for @JoinEdgeCity Agent Village V2 with a stacked lineup of partners! It's only getting more sophisticated... excited to share more from the live deployment next month.
Our core partners are @Microsoft and @cosmos_inst (Cosmos also partnered with us on V1). @indexnetwork_ is our core technical partner, and we're working with NYU's Ethical Intelligence Lab, @worldnetwork, and @RenPhilanthropy.
What we learned in V1: blog.cosmos-institute.org/p/…

In the 70s, Italian architectural firm Superstudio drew up radical projects that imagined architecture as invisible infrastructure. Like a “pristine white grid sliding across Manhattan, gliding over deserts, rests on cliffs, stretches across oceans.”
We think the best networks work similarly. You don’t see the grid, only the opportunities that arrive to you. (Cue: A2A infra.)
