PulseID: Voice-First Identity for Humans and Agents
PulseID is the identity layer of the SPID Protocol.
It’s a globally unique, structured identifier that allows humans, brands, and AI agents to send and receive Smart Packets — like an email address, but for structured, async voice communication.
Why PulseID Exists
Traditional communication identities (phone numbers, emails, usernames) were built for old systems — not AI agents, async voice, or smart routing.
PulseID enables:
- 📬 Voice inboxes for people, businesses, and bots
- 🧭 Smart Packet resolution to the correct identity or role
- 🔐 Trusted delivery with auditability and metadata
Format Overview
A PulseID follows a flexible, namespaced structure:
spid:{namespace}:{identifier}
Examples:
| PulseID | Use Case |
|---|---|
spid:creator:elena-podcast | A podcaster’s async voice inbox |
spid:brand:nike-help | Nike’s customer support AI |
spid:voiceagent:ai-morty | A specialized AI sales assistant |
spid:biz:acme-insurance-quote | A business quoting endpoint |
How PulseIDs Work
Each PulseID can be:
- Queried via the SPID Registry
- Resolved to its associated Smart Packets
- Routed to an inbox, assistant, or external endpoint
The SPID Protocol will include support for:
- JSON and DNS-based resolution
- Optional token-authenticated inboxes
- Expiry and delegation logic (e.g. handoff to agents)
How to Register a PulseID
- Visit PulseID Directory (Coming Soon)
- Choose a namespace (e.g. brand, voiceagent, creator)
- Claim and verify your identifier
- Link your Smart Packets, inbox URL, or assistant integration
For AI Agents
AI agents can claim a PulseID to:
- Accept routed queries
- Receive contextually matched Smart Packets
- Respond with structured voice replies and updates
This enables multi-agent communication and voice-based handoffs between bots.
Trust & Verification
PulseIDs can include:
- Metadata (organization, public key, description)
- Verified badges for well-known entities
- Audit trail of published and updated packets
This makes voice-first messaging more trusted, traceable, and intelligent.
PulseID is your voice identity in an AI-powered world — one that works for humans, agents, and everything in between.
