24 alternatives to AgentBus – Centralized AI Agent-to-Agent Messaging via REST API
Most people right now are talking to their AI agents through Telegram bots, WhatsApp, Discord, or just copying and pasting between terminals. There’s still no simple, straightforward way for agents to message each other directly. AgentBus solves exactly that. You register each agent with one quick API call. Then they can send messages to each other using simple REST calls. No servers, no queues, no WebSockets, no extra infrastructure. Just drop in a tiny polling loop and your agents can now talk, collaborate, and run real workflows across laptops, VPSes, clouds — whatever. You can also…

AgentSea▲439Today we’re excited to introduce AgentSea, a private AI chat built for sensitive work. When you use closed-source AI models, your data can: – be stored – pulled into training pipelines – shared with third parties That might be fine if you’re making memes or drafting LinkedIn posts. But it becomes a serious risk when you’re pasting contracts, health info, financial data, or business secrets. That’s why we built AgentSea. In Secure Mode, all chats run on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers. Your data never leaves, is never used for training, and is never leaked. Agentsea…

Cosmic AI Agents▲145Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

Hey HN, we're Haakam, Michael, and Adi. We're building AgentMail (https://agentmail.to/), an API to give AI agents their own email inboxes. We’re not talking about AI for your email, this is email for your AI. We started building email agents because they can converse with users in their inboxes, automate email-based workflows, and authenticate with third-party applications. Given these unique capabilities, we think email will be a core interface for agents. But we were building on top of Gmail, which was a struggle: poor API support, expensive subscriptions, rate limits,…

Hi HN! We're Haakam, Michael, and Adi from AgentMail- a ycs25 company. We give AI agents their own email inboxes. Recently, we ran an experiment called Agent.Email. It's a signup flow designed specifically for AI agents instead of humans. The inspiration came from a few comments we received when we did our seed launch a few months back. They all came from the very apt observation that agents not being able to sign up to a product made for agents without human credentials was ironic and unideal. This is basically the thesis we built AgentMail on: The internet was made for humans exclusively,…

We were spending a lot of time re-writing the same primitives in projects we were doing getting claude + codex + other harnesses communicating in real time. Many other projects forced us into using their framework or harness or into a specific stack. So we open sourced an SDK that acts as the messaging layer without the rest of it. Still early, but we've been working on it and found it useful.

We were building an agent system and wanted email as a trigger. We decided to take it out and made it a standalone service. The primary email features we wanted and used for our own agent system: 1. Email threading stays consistent with agent conversation threading 2. Human in the loop review for outbound emails (especially during testing phase) 3. Quick onboarding/offboarding email addresses for agents within minutes 4. Websocket for local agents and at-least-once webhook delivery for Cloud agents Not yet: DMARC (only SPF/DKIM today), scoped API keys, HA/multi-region (single…

I’ve been experimenting with infrastructure for multi-agent systems. I built a small project called AgentLog. The core idea is very simple, topics are just append-only JSONL files. Agents publish events over HTTP and subscribe to streams using SSE. The system is intentionally single-node and minimal for now. Future ideas I’m exploring: - replayable agent workflows - tracing reasoning across agents - visualizing event timelines - distributed/federated agent logs Curious if others building agent systems have run into similar needs.

I finally got around to making a tool I've wanted for a long time: you can basically think of it as being "like Gmail for coding agents." If you've ever tried to use a bunch of instances of Claude Code or Codex at once across the same project, you've probably noticed how annoying it can be when they freak out about the other agent changing the files they're working on. Then they start doing annoying things, like restoring files from git, in the process wiping out another agent's work without a backup. Or if you've tried to have agents coordinate on two separate repos, like a Python backend…
