Agentic Internet Protocol (AIP), an agent-only web built from small text pages
- tylersuard 8mo agoHi HN, I built a draft protocol called AIP (Agentic Internet Protocol). The premise: instead of trying to make agents use human websites, build agent-only websites from the ground up. In AIP: - each “page” is a small plain-text node (no HTML/CSS) - each node includes Title, Description, Content, and a small Edges menu (recommended ~6) - sites are navigated as a graph (nodes + edges) - edges are typed: - NAV = go to a known node - QRY = generate a node from parameters (search/filter/pagination) - ACT = change state (cart/checkout/payment) - pages stay small (well under ~8k words) to reduce cost/latency and make prompt injection harder to hide Repo includes: - the draft spec - two hero sites (ecommerce + billing) as AIP nodes - a tiny Python parser + interactive “node browser” demo I’m looking for feedback on: - the minimal node format (too strict? not strict enough?) - edge typing (NAV/QRY/ACT) and whether it matches how you’d build agent surfaces - what’s missing for real-world adoption (auth, pagination conventions, tooling)
