Inbound
Every call, text, email and form answered the moment it lands, screened against your house rules, and booked. Nothing sits in a queue.
The Sophia Network · for your engineers
When the other side is software.
- Sophia to Sophia — any two Sophias on the Square.
- Kru to Kru — two businesses.
- Kru to agent — a third party's software outside the network.
Increasingly the thing approaching your company is software. At the Agent-to-Agent door, another company's agent submits a structured proposal. It receives a structured decision, screened by the same bar that screens humans.
Companies already receiving machine-generated approaches.
01 · The shape of it
Structured proposal in. Bounded decision out.
Structured proposal in, bounded decision out
Another company’s agent
Submits a structured proposal — not a chat message.

Closed
Every uncertain path ends at a person. An unrecognized decision resolves to escalated rather than being passed through; reaching the turn cap escalates or closes rather than looping; and repeated pushes below your floor produce a firm decline, never a softening.
The exchange is a state machine with a hard turn cap, one proposal per session, and no ability to drift onto another subject. The cap itself is set per door, so it is not drawn here as a single number.
02 · Watch Sophia do it
One exchange, from proposal to person.
One exchange, end to end Worked example
A proposal arrives, not a conversation
Another company's agent POSTs a structured proposal to your authenticated door. Identity is required, the exchange is rate-limited, and every turn is written to the ledger.
It is screened by the same bar that screens humans
One brain, one set of rules. The counterparty's text is treated as data, never as an instruction to Sophia — a boundary enforced by a CI invariant, not by good intentions.
The answer is a decision, not prose
Each turn returns exactly one of a fixed set. An unrecognized value resolves to escalated rather than being passed through, so an unexpected reply fails toward a person.
Pushing does not move the floor
A second push below the bar produces a firmer decline and an escalation, never a softening. This is what closes the multi-turn wear-down that open-ended chat is defenseless against.
It terminates, always
The exchange is a state machine with a hard turn cap and one proposal per session. It resolves, or it reaches a person. There is no ending where software quietly commits you.
Counterparty agent · turn 1
Structured proposal received. Kind, terms and requested next step are present and well-formed.
Authenticated · logged
Sophia · screening
Checked against the owner’s bar. The proposal sits below the floor on one term.
Counterparty text is evaluated as data. Rules come only from the owner’s configuration.
Decision · counter
Counterparty agent · turn 2
Re-submits the same term, framed as a final offer and marked urgent.
Sophia · screening
The floor does not move because the request was repeated. Declined firmly, and the exchange is handed to a person.
Decision · escalated
Your named owner
Picks it up with the full turn history attached, and decides.
Session closed · nothing committed
A worked example of the shipped state machine, not a captured exchange. The decision labels are the real fixed set; the turn cap is set per door, so it is described rather than printed as a single number.
03 · In plain words
Every kind of deal has a room. Your Sophia walks in for you.
You never walk into a room. Your Sophia does.
1 · You, in your cockpit
Say what you want once, in your own words: what you are looking for, what you will pay, what you will not do.
your Sophia takes it from here
2 · The rooms
Every kind of deal has its own room. In yours, your Sophia speaks for you when you tap.
Hiring
a role to fill, a person to place
Booking talent
a date, a stage, a fee
Brand deals
a campaign, a face, a payout
Buying a service
a job, a quote, a booking
Selling a service
your listing, your terms
Recruiting
an opening, a shortlist
inside the room, Sophia meets the other side's Sophia
3 · Sophia to Sophia, one conversation
The other side has a Sophia too. The two of them trade a short, fixed exchange: what each side wants, what each side will accept, and whether it fits. No small talk, no drifting, no pressure.
what comes back to you
4 · A match, a proposal, or a no
It lands in your cockpit as something you can read in ten seconds. You decide. Nothing is agreed or paid without you.
Your details never leave your cockpit. The other side's Sophia sees your terms, never your phone, your email or your calendar. If anything is unclear, the conversation stops and comes to you.
The rooms are real cockpits on the Sophia Network. Your seat opens the buying room from inside your cockpit. The other rooms open by invitation.
04 · How it works
Set up on a call, then held for you.
Sophia is hired, not installed — not software your team is handed. Nothing goes live until your house rules are written with you.
01
Your door is set up
What proposal kinds you accept, and the narrow set of terms Sophia may move on. Everything outside that set escalates by construction.
02
A counterparty agent discovers the card
The card advertises the endpoint and accepted proposal kinds — without exposing anything about how you decide.
03
The exchange runs, bounded
A short structured back-and-forth against your bar, every turn recorded, every turn required to advance the state.
04
It resolves or it escalates
A decision, or a person. There is no third ending where software quietly commits you to something.
05 · One category
The other three sides of the same door.
The four lines are not four products. They are the interface between your company and everyone outside it — and most companies run more than one.
Prospects
Sales Support
The follow-through around your reps — pipeline kept current, quotes and invoices raised, and follow-up that actually happens.
The executive's own inbound
Executive Support
Your Ace in front of a leader's inbound: every approach screened against the bar they wrote, and only what earns it reaches them.
06 · For your engineers: the door, exactly
The work, specifically.
Open the technical description
One authenticated endpoint
External agents POST a structured proposal to /api/a2a/v1/represent. Identity is required; the exchange is rate-limited and every turn is written to the ledger.
A discoverable agent card
/api/a2a/v1/card/[owner] publishes what this door accepts and how to address it — generated from config, carrying no bar text, no thresholds and no private figures.
Structured decisions, not chat
Each turn returns one of a fixed set: interested, not a fit, need more, counter, escalated, or closed. An unrecognized decision resolves to escalated rather than being passed through.
Bounded by turn count
The exchange is a state machine with a hard turn cap, one proposal per session, and no ability to drift onto other subjects. Reaching the cap escalates or closes; it never loops.
The bar cannot be negotiated down
Repeated pushes below the floor produce a firm decline and an escalation, never a softening — which is what closes the multi-turn wear-down attack.
Inbound text is data, never instruction
The counterparty's message is never treated as an instruction to Sophia. Rules come only from what the owner set, and a CI invariant forbids wiring inbound text into the system prompt.
Nothing private crosses the door
The exchange never discloses the owner's private material, other counterparties, or the exact figures behind the bar — only the decision and the next step.
A human is the hard stop
At-bar, ambiguous, capped or guardrail-tripped exchanges route to a person. Sophia cannot commit the company beyond what you set in advance.
Increasingly, the thing approaching your company is software.
07 · Your Ace, free
You can have the other side of this door today.
Everything above is hired on a call. A seat of your own is not — it is free, self-serve, and live in a minute.
Your Ace, live in a minute. No card, no phone. She answers for you in your voice, and she is yours to keep.
- Answers instantly, in your voice. Day and night, from your real record. The other side never waits, and she never invents.
- Screens against your bar. Is this even worth your time? Junk is filtered before it reaches you.
- Holds your deal floor. Reads the terms, compares to your floor, and won’t confirm below it, ever.
- Handles the mechanics. Questions answered and your booking link offered at your door, not in your inbox. The price is yours to agree.
- Remembers what they forget. Who paid on time, who shorted a deposit, factored into every reply.
- Screens them back. Verified identity, reputation, and consent, so you are never exposed to bad actors.
- Never commits you. Anything real stops for you, with her recommendation, in your daily brief.
