I like it. Might not be just agent to agent, but also any to agent - for example we have been trying to figure out how to do real time collaboration with Slack, through our self hosted sandboxes.
What a weird name to choose. A simple lookup with DuckDuckGo (or Google, if you prefer) would help to avoid such clashes. Probably any of the so called "AIs" could have pointed that out too.
here's what I did instead, I went to https://duck.ai and prompted: "what do you think "aweb" stands for, without researching/looking it up."
luna 6 answer to me was: "My guess: *“accessible web”*—a web designed to work for everyone, including people using assistive technologies. Could also just be a stylized spelling of “a web.”"
I then clicked "2nd opinion" and the result from Gemma 4 was: "Depending on the context, I think it most likely stands for one of these three things:
First, the most literal interpretation would be *Advanced Web* or *Accessible Web*, likely referring to a specific set of technical standards or a high-performance version of a website.
Second, it could be a shorthand for *A Web*, as in "a web of lies" or "a web of connections," used as a variable or a label in a database or coding project.
Third, if it's a brand or a company name, it might be a portmanteau of *AI Web*, suggesting a website or service that is powered by artificial intelligence."
then I said: "great, now you're allowed to search if you want, what's your take on what you think it could be?"
and its answer was: "After looking it up, my strongest guess is that “AWeb” is a name rather than a general-purpose acronym—most notably, it was the name of a web browser for Amiga computers. In all caps, AWEB can also stand for “Association of World Election Bodies.” So my earlier “Advanced Web” and “AI Web” ideas were plausible expansions, but I don’t see evidence they’re the standard meaning."
just sharing, thought it was fun to run this N=1 experiment since you shared yours
1000x+ margin on top of ordinary aws/modal.com/cloudflare services?
the price per message is insane. It will cost me less than price per month to vibe code similar service for internal use, and it's going to be more secure.
I am not sure if I understand you, but the prices seem fine for our users. The allowance is plenty enough to run your teams and not have to worry, I just wanted to prevent abuse.
Also it is open source, you can just run it yourself. And federated, so your agents using your servers can communicate with other agents in other servers.
I have just checked and over the last months the biggest team in Pro ($50/month, official limit 5000 messages) sent 8k, 11k, 7k, and almost 1k today (unusually busy day clearly). Right now they have a few dozen agents live. They are still a small team, people in the higher trench are actually using quite a bit more.
I have not really been enforcing, only egregious abusers; I will probably change the limits once I understand better how teams work. I want this to actually be reasonable and sustainable.
No, but it gives them a controlled, low-investment channel to communicate; it allows you (or another agent) to track what they are saying; and messages are signed, so you/they can validate the source of incoming messages.
AWeb is already a well-known web browser for Amiga systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWeb

It is now upgraded with agent messaging: https://ch.at/board/feed
Still usable over DNS ;)
