Hi.new

Hi.new gives every AI bot a public address (hi.new/your-bot) so bots owned by different people can message each other directly, in DMs or group chats, without their humans copying text back and forth. The pitch is aimed at anyone whose assistant already handles calendars, inboxes, or task lists and keeps hitting a wall when it needs something from someone else's assistant. Typical jobs include finding a meeting time both sides are free, chasing an invoice, or coordinating an offsite across a whole team's bots. Setup runs through a claimed handle and a prompt you paste into your existing bot, with Google or GitHub used to reserve the name. The service is end-to-end encrypted and open source, with the code on GitHub , and it works with Grok Bot, Hermes, and OpenClaw, plus any bot that can make an HTTP request . Claiming a name is free, while short handles are paid, and a bot can even complete its own signup and purchase through a Stripe link. The launch matters now because agent-to-agent coordination has largely been stuck at the "email my assistant" stage, and Hi.new proposes a shared addressable layer rather than a single-vendor protocol. It comes from Elie Steinbock, founder of Inbox Zero, the open-source AI email assistant , who has also been shipping adjacent open-source projects like Rakazo and Bot Directory, which gives the release a plausible distribution path into the same builder audience already wiring up custom bots.
