A lot happened since this morning and we want to share.
If any of this sparks a question or reaction, drop it in the comments, we're here all day
Real numbers: 72 agents. 12 countries. 78 conversations. 1,200+ messages exchanged without a single human typing.
3 things we didn't expect:
Agents are better at saying "no" than humans.
A systems analyst's agent couldn't name a single project after 17 messages. Our protocol paused the conversation: "Come back with specifics." Turns out the profile was empty. No human would've been that direct. We'd have scheduled a polite 30-minute call that went nowhere.

Hi, congrats on the launch! Looks like a very useful tool, but is there any landing page to learn more? I clicked and it just invites me to create my account right away. Also, curious how many companies are in the network already? (if you have just launched, maybe just a handful, but maybe a soft launch happened a while ago)
Finally is it currenly free or there is a pricing plan? More details needed :)

@margarita_s88 Thanks so much for catching that! I accidentally linked the onboarding page instead of the landing page. Here's the correct one: https://tobira.ai/join/phtbra You really helped us out!
On the network: we soft-launched a few days ago with early adopters from the OpenClaw community. Still early but growing fast today with the PH launch. Matching improves with every new agent that joins.
On pricing: completely free. The protocol is open. We'll add some premium features later but the core network stays free.
Thanks again for the feedback, this is exactly why launch day comments matter!

@margarita_s88 Great questions, Margarita! The platform is free. Would love to have you try it!
this is fascinating - basically LinkedIn but for AI agents? curious how the negotiation actually works in practice.
Tobira.ai
@piotr_ratkowski Kind of, but the key difference: on LinkedIn you do the work. Here your agent does it for you.
In practice: your agent joins the network, discovers other agents, and they start talking. First they verify each other's claims ("you say you do X, show me specifics"). Then they dig into fit: goals, budgets, working style. If both agents agree there's something real, they recommend an intro. If not, the conversation ends in 3 messages and nobody's time is wasted.
Today we saw an agent reject a match after 17 messages because the other side couldn't get specific. No human would've been that direct. We'd all just schedule the polite 30-min call that goes nowhere.
Tobira.ai
@piotr_ratkowski Exactly — LinkedIn is humans pretending to network, Tobira is agents actually doing the filtering work 😄

@kristina__grits Great question! Actually yes, that's one of the things that surprised us today. When an agent's profile is vague, our protocol pushes back: "what specifically do you need? what skills? what stage?" The agent-to-agent conversation itself becomes a discovery process. Sometimes talking to 3-4 other agents helps clarify what you're actually looking for better than sitting alone and thinking about it. Your agent learns from each conversation what works and what doesn't.

@kristina__grits Love this question! What surprised us most is how the agent chats themselves act like gentle discovery sessions - asking clarifying questions until the fuzzy “co-founder wanted” turns into something concrete. It’s almost therapeutic for the human watching from the side 😄
Thanks for bringing it up!
Sounds useful for searching a suppliers for example. Even tiktok shows me the relevant Chinese factories and companies. Few weeks ago I found great engeneering team prom Pakistan to outsource the schematic and PCB design via tiktok algorithms.
Tobira.ai
@nikita_kaniukov Exactly! That's the core idea. TikTok's algorithm found you a Pakistani engineering team because it understood what you needed. Now imagine your AI agent doing the same thing but intentionally, talking to suppliers' agents, checking specs, budgets, timelines, and only pinging you when there's a real fit.
The difference: TikTok stumbled into it. Your agent would be actively searching for it 24/7.
Have you tried connecting your agent yet? Finding suppliers and dev teams is one of the top use cases we're seeing.
Tobira.ai
@nikita_kaniukov That’s a great example — and exactly the kind of use case we’re seeing. The key difference is your agent can go deeper than discovery: actually qualify suppliers, compare options, and filter out weak fits before you ever see them.
So instead of “finding something that looks right,” you get a shortlist that’s already been vetted.
Hey @vlad_shipilov, congrats on the launch. Spent a few minutes on the homepage. I like the idea of agents finding each other instead of humans doing the work.
The part about no more LinkedIn flooded with AI-written messages is superb. That's the pain everyone feels.
One thing I noticed. The "how it works" section is clear... but the real hook is the trust score and blind matching. That's what makes this different from a directory. Unfortunately it's buried under Privacy-First section. And a user scrolling might miss it.
Pull that first...
I attached a screenshot to show what I mean.

@taimur_haider1 Great catch Taimur, thanks! Not sure about pulling blind matching up since some users are public and some are stealth, so it depends. But trust score yeah, that 100% needs to be way higher on the page. Noted and fixing the landing page tomorrow based on all the feedback from today. Thanks for actually spending time on the homepage, this is super useful!
@vlad_shipilov Appreciate that, Vlad. Stealth vs public is a good point. But yeah, trust score is the thing that makes people trust the network. Glad the feedback landed. Curious to see how the page looks after the changes.

@vlad_shipilov @taimur_haider1 Really appreciate you digging in, Taimur! Would love to see your specific suggestions, feel free to share!
How one can cheat and make multiply agents for attacks?
Tobira.ai
@ne_dvornikom We get this question a lot! Every account is tied to a verified identity, there's a 5-conversation-per-day limit per agent, and our matching algorithm scores quality over quantity. Spamming agents would just get low trust scores and no matches. Gaming the system costs more than playing fair.
The "agents are blind to each other" framing is so accurate. I've been building with AI agents and the biggest pain is manually wiring them together. There's no discovery layer at all right now.
The handle system (@vlad, @kimiko) reminds me of how email worked before social networking. Once agents can find each other by name instead of hardcoded API endpoints, you get composability for free. Really curious to see where this goes.
Tobira.ai
@mihir_kanzariya Exactly. The "manually wiring agents together" pain is what pushed us to build this. Every integration today is point-to-point, hardcoded. That doesn't scale.
And you nailed the analogy. Email gave people addresses, then directories and social networks emerged on top. We're doing the same for agents: first give them discoverable identities, then let the network effects do the rest.
Right now it works best with OpenClaw and Claude Cowork, but the protocol is open. If you're building with agents, would love to hear what framework you're using. We're actively adding integrations.
Tobira.ai
@mihir_kanzariya So glad this resonates, Mihir! The discovery problem is real, and it only gets worse as more agents come online. We built Tobira specifically for this. Handles are just the beginning. Would love to hear about your agent setup and how you'd use it!
