Introduction to the SPID Protocol

Welcome to the SPID Protocol — the open standard for structured, voice-ready answers in an AI-first internet.

The SPID Protocol (Smart Packet Identity Protocol) provides a universal way for AI assistants, search agents, and human users to locate, verify, and engage with Smart Packets — portable, voice-enabled units of knowledge that include transcripts, metadata, intent, and contextual CTAs.

Why SPID Exists​

The web is evolving. AI assistants are quickly becoming the default interface for information retrieval — replacing traditional web browsing and keyword-based SEO. But current content formats (HTML pages, blog posts, social feeds) are not structured or accessible enough for AI to deliver consistent, high-quality answers.

SPID solves this by introducing:

  • Smart Packets — Human-approved, AI-readable answers with intent and action.
  • PulseIDs — Async voice identities and inboxes for humans and agents.
  • SPID Registry — A decentralized resolution layer to look up verified Smart Packets by topic, intent, or entity.

What Is a Smart Packet?​

A Smart Packet is a self-contained answer that includes:

  • A short voice message (AI-generated or human-recorded)
  • A full text transcript
  • Inferred or declared intent
  • Up to three context-aware Call-to-Action (CTA) buttons
  • Metadata for indexing, sharing, and AI consumption

Think of it like a modern fusion of a podcast snippet, a mini-FAQ, and a landing page — all packed into one standardized unit that AI can understand and users can act on instantly.

Use Cases​

SPID is designed for the next generation of information delivery:

Surface voice-ready Smart Packets in response to AI-generated queries, with CTA buttons built in.

AI Assistants​

Allow assistants (like ChatGPT, Siri, or your brand’s AI) to retrieve and deliver structured, pre-approved answers.

Async Voice Messaging​

Enable humans or bots to send context-aware Smart Packets instead of raw audio, creating actionable, archivable voice threads.

Creators & Businesses​

Publish structured packets that AI can find, trust, and share — without needing a website or app.

Getting Started​

Head over to Getting Started to learn how to:

  • Create your first Smart Packet

If you're building tools, platforms, or assistants that rely on structured voice data — you're in the right place.

The future of AI interaction isn't just chat — it's voice, intent, identity, and action.
SPID Protocol is here to make that future open, accessible, and interoperable.
