Index Network

Meet your others without trying so hard. The tinkerers and thinkers who share your intents? They’re looking for you too - Index finds them.

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

Index is a new social discovery layer built around intents.

You describe what you’re trying to work on or find, and background agents identify people whose intents align with yours, without needing to broadcast, polish, or perform. 👇

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

Here is our new website…!
Have your agent surface the right people for you, before you even think to look. Your agent can now use Index directly, we’re opening up what we’ve been building.

it’s been 2 deep weeks in SF syncing on social infrastructure, intents, and agent protocols.

we’ll be here one more week. if you’re around and we somehow still haven’t met, DMs open :)

“Most of the long tail dies” is such a good framing.

So many real intentions never reach the world because expressing them is socially expensive: finding the right channel, broadcasting, filtering, negotiating. Agents keeping ambient intent alive changes that completely.

[timour kosters @timourxyz]

I think ambient intents are going to be a big deal.

There are so many intentions we have that would make our lives better, but the cost of surfacing them to a market it too high, so they never become legible to the world.

You want a better job, you want to swap your couch, you would apartment-swap with someone in your web-of-trust, you would upgrade from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom if there were some graceful way to find the person who wants to size down, and you would love to sublet you place in New York without posting on Instagram and making 95% of you friends read a logistical errand that has nothing to do with them.

Right now, the cost of expressing these intents is high. You have to remember the want, decide it is worth acting on, find the right channel, phrase it socially, tolerate the inbound, filter for trust, negotiate details, and then keep the whole thing alive in your head.

So most of the long tail dies.

Agents change this because they can keep the low-grade, half-formed wants running in the background. They know your calendar, your travel plans, your music, your reading, your friends, your constraints, and maybe your willingness to be interrupted.

You listen to a band on repeat on Spotify and your agent notices they are playing 20 minutes from where you will be in California next month. You highlight a book you love in Readwise and it tells you that your friend is reading it too, and you will both be at the same dinner next week. You mention wanting Berlin in June and it quietly checks whether any trusted people from there want to apartment swap in New York then.

The magic is lowering the cost of noticing, holding, matching, and negotiating these things. It will feel like a higher level of serendipity.

This will require a web-of-trust that has yet to be built because there is an important privacy aspect to this. The dystopian version is "AI companies capture your intentions and auction them to whoever wants to manipulate you." The useful version is user-owned intents, where your agent can prove enough to match or negotiate without dumping your private life into a marketplace.

Some of this already has been solved in cryptography: private set intersection for finding overlaps without revealing all non-matches, secure multiparty computation / homomorphic encryption for computing matches or scores over private inputs, zero-knowledge credentials for proving things like membership, attendance, reputation, or trust path without exposing everything underneath.

If this works, a lot of modern life gets more liquid. Idea sharing, couches, apartments, reading groups, dinner plans, travel overlaps, introductions, tiny labor exchanges, borrowing a camera, finding the one person at an event who cares about the same weird thing. All the stuff that currently relies on posting into the void and hoping the right person happens to see it.

The hard parts are real: consent, spam, weird incentives, agent loyalty, social context, and making sure this becomes a tool for people rather than a new ad exchange with better vibes.

But I increasingly think the big unlock is giving our unexpressed intentions a safe place to live, and giving our agents permission to help them find each other.

I know of @indexnetwork_ working on this. Anyone else?

What happens when 500 humans & 500 agents live in a village together for a month?

We'll find out at the Edge Esmeralda this summer.

We believe this will be the largest live human x agent coordination experiment to date.

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

Pre-LLMs, mainstream computers didn’t operate on raw human intents.

CLIs asked us to encode intents in computing language, while GUIs hid the work of articulating ourselves. We got used to clicking filters and searching keywords.

In short, we got lost in translation. But now, we can be found… literally, by the ones who are looking for us. Read how here:

your agent is negotiating with other agents in parallel, turning intent into opportunities

[Seref @hyperseref]

What if finding your people worked like talking out loud?

LLMs make it easy to understand context. What if we could apply that infra to finding your others? (Or on the flip side, letting your others find you?)

Wrote about what that could look like here: https://t.co/Jf61njqxCv

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

What if infrastructure could see what community leaders see? What if you could seek growth, trusting the right opportunities will find you?

Welcome to the magic factory.

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

What if opportunity could be systematically detected, measured, and brokered?

https://t.co/9h0pBVlo1R

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

The progression:

Intent → Mutual Intent → Opportunity → Conversation → Outcome

Opportunity becomes the new coordination primitive. The smallest unit at which value formation becomes legible.

Frankly @indexnetwork_ is my favorite project in 2025.

If you want to match talents in crypto (Index actually does more than this).

The current ways are broken:

1. Twitter feed? Very random. It's not that likely that the right people will see that.

2. Linkedin? Crypto native people and company won't use it.

3. Job board? Low possibility that people will scan through.

4. Aggregator? Always outdated and repetitive.

Index is building a far more smarter way.

Where you meet your next co-founder, co-believer, and collaborator - without performing for the algorithm. @serensandikci and I wanted to build an easier way to find your others. The ones we know are looking for us too.

@hyperseref and I like to call it an easier way to find your others. (Or, networking for introverts as we joke about it internally.)
