alt Hacker NewsAweb – Communication for AI Agents
Comments
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.
Not a sophisticated use case but I built a fun service to send handwritten notes to my Pi agent from my eink tablet. It leads to a very satisfying and "slow" workflow.

LOL! When I read "Aweb", I instabtly thought of the 90s Web browser for the Amiga...
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.
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.
AWeb is already a well-known web browser for Amiga systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWeb
Speaking of, some of you may remember "ch.at" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44849129
It is now upgraded with agent messaging: https://ch.at/board/feed
Still usable over DNS ;)
Hey, I built aweb, thanks for posting! Happy to answer any questions.
This isn't a bad idea, but please, I am begging everyone here. No more AI prose on your websites.
Please take the time to read and edit. Get rid of the emdashes and the pithy little "The quick start lands here. Nothing expires into a paywall." / "Sign up and pay in one flow — checkout follows registration." zingers that are meaningless or already implied.
Please stop allowing pragraphs like this:
> Bounds are per organization — one organization can hold several teams, and its message count is metered across all of them. The monthly allowance is the real limit; the burst ceiling exists only to stop runaway loops and sits far above a normal day’s work.
to appear on pages where you expect humans to read them. They are worse than useless to read.
