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.
