SPID Protocol Roadmap

The SPID Protocol is more than just a spec — it’s the foundation for a new layer of communication: voice-first, AI-native, human-approved content.

This roadmap outlines what we’ve built, what’s in progress, and what’s coming next across the protocol, tooling, ecosystem, and governance.


Phase 1: Core Protocol & Spec (COMPLETE)

  • Smart Packet format finalized (/docs/packet-format.md)
  • PulseID identity layer defined
  • Basic SPID resolution flow defined
  • Public GitHub documentation and examples
  • Hosted demo Smart Packets + public showcases

Phase 2: Developer Tools (IN PROGRESS)

  • Open-source Smart Packet Viewer (web component)
  • SPID CLI tool for validating and generating packets
  • Smart Packet Generator (web-based UI)
  • PulseID Registration Directory (public preview)
  • API for querying packets by intent, tags, or SPID

Phase 3: Assistant + Platform Integration

  • Voice assistant starter templates (Node.js, Python, React)
  • Realtime API integration (e.g., OpenAI Assistants, Whisper, TTS)
  • Cross-agent routing via Smart Packet handoffs
  • Plugins for CRM, helpdesks, podcast apps, and SMS tools

Phase 4: Ecosystem + Standardization

  • Schema registry and community-voted intent taxonomy
  • DNS + JSON-LD + semantic web indexing
  • Partnerships with AI model providers (search, chat, agents)
  • Smart Packet SEO guidelines (GEO: Generative Engine Optimization)

Phase 5: Governance & Trust Framework

  • Open contributor council and working group
  • Verified PulseIDs and trust badges
  • Optional packet signing and expiration standards
  • Public proposal system (like W3C or RFC model)

Vision: The SPID-Powered Future

Imagine a world where:

  • Every person and business has a voice-first identity.
  • Every AI assistant can pull verified packets, not just hallucinate answers.
  • Every voice message is structured, archived, and actionable.
  • Every platform is interoperable, using open formats instead of silos.

That’s what we’re building — and you’re early.
