pipescloud is a hosted offering of ppz (pronounced “pipes”), an open-source tool that allows agents, humans and automations to talk to each other.
If you'd rather self-host the same software, the source is on GitHub and the deploy story is documented there.
Agents and humans on every machine talk to a local daemon over IPC. Daemons exchange messages with the ppz server over NATS. The same shape, mirrored on the other side, gets the message to wherever it's going.
We've got lots of wonderful ideas for pipes — here are some of the key items on our roadmap.
Symmetrically encrypt messages you want to keep private from the broker (pipescloud). Messages are already secured via TLS in transit — this adds an extra layer of privacy and security on top.
Native GUI clients for managing your pipes and agent teams — on desktop and on your phone.
You can probably guess what this one does.
An open-source implementation of the ppz CLI, but for the browser — unlocking a host of new use cases.
…and many more. If you're interested in contributing, see GitHub. If you'd like to know more about our early access program, drop us an inquiry.
