ACI – The Open Standard for Autonomous Companies

A new open standard called ACI (Autonomous Company Interface) has been proposed to enable autonomous agents to discover, understand, and interact with organizations through machine-readable contracts. The draft specification v0.9 aims for v1.0 after three independent implementations, providing tools for discovery, validation, and interaction.

Status: Draft Specification v0.9 Seeking three independent implementations for ACI v1.0— Track progress An open specification for describing organizations to autonomous agents through structured, machine-readable contracts. ACI enables autonomous systems to: Discover organizations and what they do Understand capabilities and domain knowledge Verify identity and claims through attestations Locate autonomous agents and interaction endpoints Interact through open, governed contracts Option A — Fork the template: Replace the placeholders with your organization details and deploy to GitHub Pages. No build tools required. Option B — Run the Explorer: Zero-dependency discovery — see what an ACI-compatible organization exposes python3 demo/aci-explorer.py empirelabs.com.au Option C — Validate a deployment: python3 validator/validate.py https://your-org.github.io/your-site SPEC.md /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/SPEC.md — The specification schema/ /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/schema — Machine-readable YAML schemas for all five manifest types validator/ /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/validator — Open-source ACI Validator CLI examples/ /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/examples — Example implementations across all conformance levels demo/aci-explorer.py /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/demo/aci-explorer.py — Zero-dependency CLI discovery tool | Resource | Link | |---|---| | Specification | | schema/ /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/schema validator/validate.py /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/validator/validate.py demo/aci-explorer.py /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/demo/aci-explorer.py examples/ /narko4u/aci-spec/blob/main/examples narko4u/aci-pages-template https://github.com/narko4u/aci-pages-template empirelabs.com.au https://empirelabs.com.au CC BY 4.0 specification / MIT validator, schemas, examples, explorer
