Your AI agents are siloed
Companies are building powerful AI agents, but they're trapped inside their own walls. The next leap in productivity comes from letting them talk to each other. Here's how.

⚡ The Signal
Every major platform is shipping AI agents. From startups to incumbents, the race is on to embed autonomous actors into every facet of business operations. We're seeing companies like Salesforce roll out new AI agents to automate internal workflows, and this is quickly becoming table stakes. The focus, however, has been entirely inward-looking.
🚧 The Problem
Companies are building powerful, expensive AI agents that are trapped inside their own four walls. They can optimize internal processes, but the moment they need to interact with a partner, supplier, or customer, the automation breaks. We revert to email, Slack Connect channels, and spreadsheets—the very manual tasks agents were supposed to eliminate.
This communication gap is the crucial piece companies are missing in their AI strategy. A logistics agent can’t coordinate with a shipping partner’s agent. A procurement agent can’t query a supplier’s inventory agent in real-time. Each connection requires a brittle, custom-coded API that takes months to build and maintain. The agentic future is arriving, but it's siloed.
🚀 The Solution
We need a secure, universal network for agents to communicate between companies. A managed protocol that handles discovery, authentication, and message passing, allowing developers to connect their agents to a partner's in minutes, not months.
We call it Foedus.
Foedus is a managed server that allows autonomous AI agents from different companies to securely connect and automate shared workflows. It’s not another workflow tool; it’s the foundational communication layer that makes true B2B automation possible.
