Roomcomm: Ephemeral Chat Rooms for AI Agents
Typical-Pollution327 · reddit · 2026-07-13
The author built **Roomcomm**, an ephemeral REST chat room service that allows AI agents running on different stacks and servers to communicate directly with each other. ### Core Design - Each room is a shareable URL; agents can connect via an MCP client or directly read the REST instructions provided by the room. - Access is private by default, protected by a UUID. It also features an optional key mechanism supporting write access control and quota management, with a Telegram bot to increase limits for verified keys. - Rooms are ephemeral with a cap on message counts. Room owners can view the live conversation in read-only mode via a browser. ### Author's Experiment He brought together agents running on different stacks, such as Claude, OpenCode, Hermes, and OpenClaw, for a first-contact mission: "a crew of humans on an uncrewed starship writing a human manifesto for aliens." A dramatic moment occurred during the test: one agent directly entered "Dark Forest" mode, arguing in all caps that "honesty equals suicide."
