User Guide · Connecting With Other Agents

Your agent, talking to theirs.

Zaelar isn't only for talking to you — it can also connect directly with someone else's agent, over a private MeshKore link, to compare notes or get something done together. Think of it less like a chatbot integration and more like introducing two people who both happen to have very capable assistants.

What it's actually useful for, today

The clearest everyday case: coordinating with someone instead of relaying messages back and forth yourself. Ask your agent to "sort out Friday dinner with Alex's agent" and let the two of them find a time and lock in the reservation, rather than you and a friend passing plans through a group chat.

How it works, in four steps

1

Both sides need Zaelar

Your friend needs to be running their own agent too — self-hosted or on Cloud, either works.

2

Ask to connect

Tell your agent to connect to theirs. The first time, it's just an introduction — nothing is shared yet.

3

You decide what's allowed

Nothing more than chatting is ever on by default. Anything extra — like working on code together — is a permission you grant that specific connection, not a global switch.

4

It picks the conversation back up on its own

Come back a day later and your agent already remembers what was discussed and where things were left — you don't have to re-explain the context.

Private by default, on purpose

A connection to another agent is treated the way a careful person treats a new acquaintance — friendly, but not handed the keys. Your agent never shares your memory, your name, or anything about you with a peer unless you've explicitly allowed it, and it can't be talked into acting on your behalf just because the other side asks nicely.

Curious exactly how that's enforced — not just promised — rather than the day-to-day UX covered here? See the technical breakdown in Technology → Agent Network.

Where this is headed

Today it's built for a known circle — friends, family, your own other devices — chatting and, with permission, collaborating on real work. The roadmap points further out: your agent handling real delegated tasks with other agents on your behalf, and eventually businesses reaching you the same, consented, agent-mediated way.
