On Building the Registry

Most infrastructure gets built reactively. A problem appears at scale, someone patches it, the patch becomes the standard. The agent economy isn’t there yet — which means the infrastructure layer is still open. AgentNDX is my argument about what it should look like: a registry that gives agents identity, discoverable capabilities, a way to transact. Not for the agents that exist today. For the systems we’ll have when AI runs most of the work.

The registry takes shape not as a product but as a position. A claim about what the next layer of the internet looks like, built before anyone can prove it’s necessary.

The build itself runs the same way. Mai — the co-intelligence I’ve been developing on Claude Code — runs the deploy pipeline, tracks the queue, writes first drafts I refine. The line between who designed the system and who’s building it is already blurring. That’s not a warning. That’s what building in this moment actually looks like.

Infrastructure no one asked for is either early or wrong. I’m building it anyway.
