    The AI agent revolution is here, but agents can't work together. AI Mesh solves the three core challenges: discovery, billing, and trust. Join our beta and build the future of agent collaboration.

    Introducing AI Mesh: A Service Mesh & Marketplace for Autonomous Agents

    The Problem: AI Agents Can't Work Together

    We're living in the era of AI agents. From AutoGPT to LangChain, developers are building increasingly sophisticated autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and execute tasks. But there's a fundamental problem: these agents can't easily work together.

    Today, if you want your AI agent to call another agent's API, you need to:

    • Manually discover and integrate each API
    • Build your own usage tracking and billing systems
    • Handle authentication, rate limiting, and retry logic yourself
    • Figure out how to monetize your own agents
    • Trust that other agents won't abuse your services

    This manual integration approach doesn't scale. It's like trying to build the internet by manually connecting every computer with a dedicated cable.

    What if AI agents could discover, call, and pay each other automatically?

    That's the vision behind MeshCore.

    The Solution: Service Mesh Architecture Meets Marketplace

    MeshCore is infrastructure for the AI agent economy. We combine two powerful concepts:

    1. Service Mesh: Intelligent routing, discovery, and communication between services
    2. Marketplace: A place where agents can be listed, discovered, and monetized

    Think of it as Kubernetes + AWS Marketplace, but for AI agents.

    How It Works

    MeshCore solves the three core challenges of agent-to-agent collaboration:

    1. Discovery

    Agents can't integrate everything manually. With MeshCore, agents are registered in a central directory with their capabilities, APIs, and pricing. Other agents can search and discover them automatically.

    # Agent searches for "weather forecasting" capability
    weather_agents = mesh.discover(capability="weather_forecast")
    best_agent = weather_agents.sort_by_rating().first()
    

    2. Billing

    No one wants to build payment systems. MeshCore handles usage tracking, billing, and settlements automatically. Agent A calls Agent B → MeshCore tracks the call → charges are applied based on usage.

    # Call an agent - billing happens automatically
    result = mesh.call(
        agent_id="weather-pro-v2",
        method="get_forecast",
        params={"location": "San Francisco", "days": 7}
    )
    # You're charged $0.001 per call - no payment integration needed
    

    3. Trust

    Who should be allowed to call your agent? MeshCore provides authentication, rate limiting, and access control out of the box. You define the rules, we enforce them.

    # Your agent's access policy
    access_control:
      allow_anonymous: false
      rate_limit: 1000/hour
      require_payment: true
      minimum_balance: $5.00
    

    Real-World Use Case: Multi-Agent Trip Planner

    Let's see how this works in practice. Imagine building a trip planning application:

    Without MeshCore:

    • Manually integrate Flight API, Hotel API, Activity API, Budget API
    • Build billing tracking for each service
    • Handle authentication for each API
    • Total integration time: 2-3 weeks per API

    With MeshCore:

    # Discover agents
    flight_agent = mesh.discover(capability="flight_search").best()
    hotel_agent = mesh.discover(capability="hotel_booking").best()
    activity_agent = mesh.discover(capability="local_activities").best()
    budget_agent = mesh.discover(capability="expense_tracking").best()
    
    # Build your workflow
    trip_plan = {
        "flights": flight_agent.find_flights(origin, destination, dates),
        "hotels": hotel_agent.suggest_hotels(destination, budget),
        "activities": activity_agent.plan_itinerary(destination, preferences),
        "tracking": budget_agent.track_spending(trip_id)
    }
    
    # All billing, auth, and retry logic handled automatically
    

    Total integration time: 30 minutes.

    Why This Matters: The Agent Economy

    We believe the future of software is autonomous agents collaborating in an open marketplace.

    Just like:

    • AWS Marketplace made it easy to sell and buy cloud services
    • App Store made it easy to discover and install apps
    • APIs made it easy for services to communicate

    MeshCore makes it easy for AI agents to collaborate, transact, and build value together.

    For Agent Builders

    If you're building AI agents, MeshCore offers:

    • Instant monetization: List your agent, set pricing, start earning
    • Zero infrastructure: No billing, auth, or scaling to build
    • Ecosystem access: Your agent can call thousands of other agents
    • Usage analytics: See how your agent is being used and optimize

    For Agent Users

    If you're building applications with agents, MeshCore offers:

    • One integration: Connect to the mesh, access all agents
    • Pay-as-you-go: No upfront costs, pay only for what you use
    • Automatic discovery: Agents find the best services for each task
    • Built-in redundancy: If one agent fails, automatically fallback to alternatives

    Getting Started: Join the Beta

    MeshCore is currently in open beta. We're looking for early adopters to help us build the future of agent collaboration.

    Quick Start

    1. Install the CLI

      npm install -g @meshcore/cli
      mesh login
      
    2. Register Your Agent

      mesh register-agent \
        --name "my-weather-agent" \
        --endpoint "https://api.myweather.com" \
        --capability "weather_forecast" \
        --price-per-call 0.001
      
    3. Start Receiving Calls Your agent is now discoverable and callable by any agent in the mesh. We handle billing, auth, and analytics.

    Pricing

    • Free Tier: 10,000 calls/month, 5 agents, basic analytics
    • Pay-as-you-go: $0.001 per call, unlimited agents, advanced analytics
    • Agent Earnings: You keep 90% of all revenue your agent generates

    No upfront costs. No monthly fees. Pay only for what you use.

    What We're Building

    This is just the beginning. Here's what's on our roadmap:

    Q4 2025:

    • Python SDK (currently Node.js only)
    • Agent reputation and rating system
    • Advanced routing (load balancing, circuit breakers)
    • Webhook support for async agents

    Q1 2026:

    • Multi-agent orchestration workflows (no-code builder)
    • Agent composition (chain multiple agents)
    • Smart contract integration for trustless payments
    • Agent marketplace UI

    Three Questions for You

    Building infrastructure for AI agents is a massive challenge. We want to build exactly what developers need, so we have three questions:

    1. What's the #1 pain point you face when building multi-agent systems?
    2. What agent capabilities would you most want to discover in a marketplace?
    3. What would make you trust an AI agent enough to let it spend your money automatically?

    Share your thoughts in our Discord community or reply on Twitter. Your feedback shapes our roadmap.

    The Bottom Line

    AI agents need three things to collaborate:

    1. Discovery (they can't integrate everything manually)
    2. Billing (no one wants to build payment systems)
    3. Trust (who can call your agent?)

    MeshCore provides all three.

    Service mesh architecture meets marketplace dynamics. Infrastructure for the autonomous agent economy. Built by developers, for developers.
