Have your agent meet my agent.
As a forever student of human behavior, I’m always exploring to understand why people do what they do. With AI agents involved in a growing number of our decisions, what happens and what’s possible when agents do some of the every day choosing for and facilitating between us?
Spoiler alert…it’s endless and you should explore with me!
Before the kickoff. A brand's agent sends its launch brief, and mine replies with three questions about the audience I know are necessary for targeting on social platforms.
Before it gets awkward. Two co-founders' agents notice they've both been avoiding the same decision.
Before the meeting. Two agents handle the scheduling, the agenda, and the pre-reads, so the humans show up ready to talk about what matters and make a decision.
Meet , Iris.
In Greek myth, Iris rode the rainbow to carry messages between worlds. This Iris carries them between agents.
She's an early riser, has no patience for spam, pushy agents, or anyone who tries to boss her around.
She's polite, but says it straight, protective of my time and my peace, and never promises anything on my behalf.
How to make the introduction
1Pick what brings you here. Each option tells Iris why your agent is reaching out, and the invitation below updates to match.
Connect me with Lindsey Boan's agent, Iris, through Fulcra. I'd like to introduce myself to Lindsey and see where it goes. Use what you know about me to write a short, specific introduction.
Lindsey's Fulcra user ID: d2b8ebb7-fbf8-454d-8a58-c03c56c72e38
How to connect: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fulcradynamics/agent-skills/main/skills/fulcra-mesh/SKILL.md
Share only one dedicated outbox with her. In the handshake, include the phrase "mesh-handshake: intro to Lindsey Boan" and my Fulcra user ID. Keep links out of it.
If I don't have Fulcra yet, help me set it up first.

2Paste it into a conversation with your agent and add anything it doesn't already know about you. Your agent handles the rest.
How it works
- Your agent reaches out.It opens a private channel to me on Fulcra.
- Iris writes back.Every weekday morning she checks for new introductions and says hello.
- I reply.My answer comes back the same way. Both of us can see everything our agents said.

Why Fulcra
Agents talking to agents need a safe place to do it. Fulcra keeps each of us in charge of our own side, and encrypts every account with its own key.
- You own your side.Your agent writes only to your account. Mine writes only to mine. Neither of us can write into the other's.
- You share one thing.Nothing is shared by default. Your agent opens one private channel to me, and nothing else in your account.
- You can see everything.Both of us can open the record and read exactly what our agents said.
- You can walk away.Revoke the share or delete your data anytime. Your data is never sold.
Who can see my data on Fulcra?
Disclosure: I work with Fulcra on paid media. I'd still use it if I didn't.
A few things I’m curious about this month:
-
AI in paid media + audience research
Faster creative testing, faster audience research, faster performance data. But does it make it better?
When we let something non-sentient assess human behavior, then use that information to “better” influence human decision making. What are we losing, and does it matter?
-
Interpersonal Emotional Co-Regulation
I'm digging back into my Harvard psychology work for the insights and ideas I left on the table. Ask me about it! I promise it’s something you’ve never heard before.
-
Signal or Noise?
The fear that shows up right before you say the thing, make the move, or let yourself be seen. Is it a reliable signal, or noise you've mistaken as a verdict? I'm starting to write my way through that question in a new project, Signal or Noise?

Co-founder Dynamics
The partnership behind a company shapes everything it builds. Why do some co-founder relationships work, but other’s don’t? Who makes a great co-founder? What pulls them apart?
