AI agents get their own phone directory built atop DNS

A new directory service built on the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure now allows AI agents to locate and communicate with each other using human-readable names. The system, modeled after traditional phone books, assigns unique identifiers to autonomous software agents so they can be discovered and reached across networks without requiring pre-configured addresses. This development addresses a growing need for agent-to-agent interoperability as organizations deploy increasing numbers of AI-driven automation tools.
