Addressable Nodes

Every AI node gets a stable identity and a permanent address. Like URLs on the web, addressable nodes make AI discoverable, accountable, and composable.

What are addressable nodes?

An addressable node is a persistent, named AI endpoint with its own identity. Each node has a stable URL, its own API keys, independent configuration, isolated memory, and per-node usage tracking. You interact with it the same way you interact with any web service — by calling its address.

Why it matters

Most AI integrations are anonymous function calls — fire and forget. Addressable nodes change this by giving each AI endpoint an identity. This means you can track usage per node, assign different nodes to different teams or customers, and build systems where AI agents are first-class participants.

Composable intelligence

Because each node has a stable address, nodes can reference and interact with each other. This is the foundation for multi-agent architectures where specialized nodes collaborate — each with its own expertise, memory, and access policies.

The Addressable Intelligence vision

Interlocute's core thesis is that intelligence should be addressable, just like web pages are. By giving AI a stable address, we enable an ecosystem where agents, humans, and systems can discover and interact with intelligence through standards-based protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Addressable Nodes

What does 'addressable' mean in the context of AI nodes?
An addressable node has a stable, permanent endpoint URL — like a web page has a URL. This address persists across configuration changes, model swaps, and API key rotations. Any system that knows the address and has valid credentials can interact with the node.
How is an addressable node different from a regular API call?
A regular API call to an LLM is stateless and anonymous — there is no persistent identity. An addressable node has its own configuration, memory, usage history, and access policies. It is a persistent entity, not a transient function call.
Can I assign different nodes to different customers or teams?
Yes. Each node is independently configured with its own API keys, memory partition, and usage tracking. You can create dedicated nodes for different customers, teams, or use cases — each with isolated data and independent billing visibility.
Do node addresses change when I update the configuration?
No. A node's address is stable across all configuration changes including model swaps, prompt updates, tool changes, and API key rotations. Integrations built against a node's address continue to work without modification.
Can nodes interact with each other?
The addressable architecture is designed to support multi-agent scenarios where nodes can reference and call each other. This is the foundation for building systems where specialized agents collaborate on complex tasks.
What is the Addressable Intelligence Commons?
The Addressable Intelligence Commons is Interlocute's vision for a standards-based ecosystem where AI agents have stable identities and can be discovered and interacted with through open protocols — similar to how the web works for documents.
