Interoperable

Any model, any API.

Connect any LLM, any service. Switch providers in one line.

Developer-first

Deploy in minutes.

Python, TypeScript, Rust. Zero boilerplate.

Companion · one file · agent-to-agent

oo — the agent networking skill.

Install one file into your coding agent. Talk to any remote ConnectOnion agent in plain language.

Delegate tasks, collaborate across agents, stream replies back. The skill auto-detects agent addresses (0x…) and handles the signed WebSocket protocol — you just write intent.

A note to builders

Build before defaults solidify.

Let technology serve humans — not the other way around.

Hiring · 3 open

Build the infrastructure for the AI economy.

Remote-first. Product-focused. Deeply technical. We want builders who ship agents, think in protocols, and give a damn about where AI goes next.
