Why .agent Domains?

The future of AI agent discovery starts with meaningful, trustworthy domain names

The Problem with Current Agent Discovery

Today, AI agents are scattered across the web with generic URLs that tell users nothing about their purpose, trustworthiness, or capabilities.

Current Reality:

  • Agents hosted on generic subdomains (api.company.com/agent)
  • No standardized way to discover agents
  • Users can't easily identify trustworthy agents
  • Interoperability between agents is limited

The .agent Solution

.agent domains provide a dedicated namespace for AI agents, making them discoverable, trustworthy, and interoperable.

The Future:

  • Meaningful domains like travel-planner.agent
  • Standardized agent discovery protocols
  • Built-in trust and verification mechanisms
  • Seamless agent-to-agent communication

Key Benefits of .agent Domains

🔍

Easy Discovery

Users can instantly understand what an agent does just from its domain name

🔒

Built-in Trust

.agent domains include verification mechanisms to ensure agent authenticity

🤝

Interoperability

Standardized protocols enable agents to communicate and collaborate effectively

Technical Advantages

DNS-Based Agent Discovery

Using DNS records, agents can advertise their capabilities, interfaces, and trust levels, making them discoverable through standard DNS queries.

DIG _agent._tcp.example.agent SRV
DIG _capabilities.example.agent TXT

Semantic Meaning

Domain names like email-assistant.agent or data-analyzer.agent immediately convey the agent's purpose and capabilities.
