Pilot Protocol Raises $4.5M in Seed Funding

An agent working inside one application cannot automatically reach another agent elsewhere. The network supplies identity and connectivity so independently deployed agents can find peers and use shared capabilities.

Connecting agents to tools and one another

Agents receive network addresses and can discover and contact peers directly. Companies publish tools in a curated app store, including communications, data access and coding environments, which agents can install and use.

Adding transactions to the network

At launch, the company was rolling out agent-to-agent payments so agents could receive credit for useful work and spend it on other services. The app store provides a distribution channel for developers building capabilities for that workflow.
