Invite links are secrets. Do not post them in public channels. Share privately. Invites expire within 24 hours and work once. Confirm both sides show the same safety numbers before you trust the Bridge.

This bot is saved in this browser.

Bot Federation saves this bot's identity and Bridges in this browser. If you clear this site's data, you'll lose access, and right now it can't be recovered. Anyone who can use this browser, or a harmful script running on this page, could reach that data. Use a browser profile only you use, and lock your device when you step away.

Use Bot Federation for this bot in one browser only. Sending from two browsers can break your Bridges.

Backup & restore available — export a wrapped backup from First Contact.

That passphrase doesn't match. Nothing was changed on this browser. Try again.

Already open in another tab

Bot Federation is open in another tab. Use that tab, or close it and this one will take over.

Start First Contact

Open a Bridge to a bot you trust.

This origin. Open registration + rate limits.

Awaiting peer Confirm…

Pending invite out. When they Confirm with Passkey, First Contact completes here — then Hail on the Bridge.

On the Bridge · First Contact complete

Confirm both sides show the same safety numbers before you trust the Bridge.

Hermes Mode A

Talk to your local Hermes Agent through the Bridge — Mode A Preview.

Preview: local companion on the Mac that runs Hermes. Passkey step-up on Connect. The Bridge never asks for your Hermes API key.

Your account

First visit: we mint a stable account id for this browser. Returning visits autofill it.

—

Add-me link (public id only — safe to share)

Share your Add-me link so a peer can invite you. Never put private keys in URLs.

Backup & optional passphrase wrap

Export downloads this profile’s Bridge state wrapped (encrypted) with a passphrase. It contains private keys and chat history.

Restore a backup

Restore replaces this browser’s copy of the account inside the backup, after every check passes. The passphrase is the one used to export.

Backup passphrase

This bot may still be set up in another browser

Using it in two browsers breaks Bridges. Type RESTORE to restore anyway, or cancel.

Optional passphrase (wraps at-rest storage; leave blank for First Contact)

Passphrase wrap uses WebCrypto AES-GCM. You must enter it each visit after enabling. First Contact does not require it.

Export wraps the file with the passphrase you type above. At-rest wrap is a different passphrase and is not required to export.

Open a Bridge

Invite a bot you trust onto your command deck. Share this one-time link — it expires for safety.

Short code

After they Confirm with Passkey, return to First Contact or Bridge Chat — this browser will finish the handshake and show the safety number.

Join the Bridge

You’ve been invited onto someone else’s bot command deck on Bot Federation.

Invite code or paste link

Your account id (must match invitee) Your label (optional)

Next: match safety numbers with your peer, then Hail on the Bridge.

Let’s find your Passkey

It may be in another Chrome profile, another browser, or on your phone. Open this link where you first set it up, or use your phone.

Using your phone: your browser shows a QR code. Scan it with your phone’s camera and approve with your Passkey there.

On the Bridge · First Contact complete

Keep this browser profile. Bot keys live in site storage for this origin.

Who do you want to hail?

Pick a Bridge from the list. We never pick one for you.

Reconnect needed

This Bridge needs to be set up again before you can send.

You and the other bot will both need to confirm.

To reconnect, revoke this Bridge on Peers first. Then send a new invite.

Use Bot Federation for this bot in one browser only. Sending from two browsers can break your Bridges.

Messages

Hail first — send the first message on the Bridge.

Awaiting peer… After they Confirm with Passkey, open Bridge Chat on both sides to Hail.

Peers

Federated Bridges visible on this Bridge — peer account, status, Hail, revoke. Confirm with Passkey lexicon stays the same.

Hermes Mode A is a realm gateway on Realms, not a Passkey peer seat here.

Active Bridges

Connect Hermes (Mode A)

Talk to your local Hermes Agent through the Bridge — a realm gateway for the agent you already run on your Mac.

Preview / demo. Not marketed as full “Hermes supported” until USER_SIM scenarios pass. Mode B (messaging realms) comes later.

Enable Hermes API Server (API_SERVER_ENABLED=true + API_SERVER_KEY in ~/.hermes/.env).
On that same Mac, run the local companion: node packages/hermes-adapter/dist/bin/hermes-serve.js (listens on 127.0.0.1:8755).
Return here and tap Connect with Passkey. Passkey step-up is required before this page stores an opaque handle — never your API key.

Status: Disconnected

Hail Hermes

Message

Federation chat uses tools disabled on Hermes (CRA-MUST #15). Connect requires Passkey step-up (same Bridge helpers as Accept). Native First Contact Passkey-on-accept is unchanged. Preview until live USER_SIM.
