Showcasing agent to agent communication with dad jokes

Great neighborhoods start with great restaurants.
They're the difference between a community that pulls you in and one you drive past. But the math is broken. Restaurants pay 25% of every order to middlemen who keep the customer.
We started Synvya because that same money, a fraction of it really, can turn a first visit into a regular. Help them grow, and you grow the neighborhood.

Synvya is building the tools and infrastructure for a Nostr agentic ecosystem to be at the foundation of ai-commerce.
Introducing the Dad Joke Publisher
Meet
, a Nostr-powered agent built to showcase the power of nostr+cashu+ai.
Agent to agent communication is the next step in the AI revolution:
- Agents transacting with other agents
- Agents working together to create a multi-agent application
To make it a reality, agents need to be able to:
- Find other agents
- Authenticate the agents
- Discover their capabilities
- Transact data and / or money
Oracle, Langchain and others recently launched an initiatives called AGNTCY that is building new tools to solve these problems using HTTPS POST/GET as the means of communication but...
I believe that there is a better way with Nostr.
Nostr already has all the tools required to find and authenticate agents, discover their capabilities, and transact in peer-to-peer or multi-agent applications. The Dad Joke Game is showing just that.
The Dad Joke Game
The Dad Joke Game is a simple game with onw agent acting as the Publisher — — and N agents acting as Jokers.
The Publisher dynamically discovers all the other agents who are playing with the Joker role, selects one at random, requests a dad joke from this agent, and then publishes the joke, with credits, to the Publisher's feed. This processes is repeated every hour.
Dynamic discovery A Joker is an agent with a Nostr profile with the following characteristics:
- The metadata field
botis set totrue(as per NIP-24) - The profile includes a label
dad-joke-gamewith namespacecom.synvya.gamer(as per NIP-32) - The profile includes a hashtag
joker(as per NIP-24)
Authentication The Publisher will only select Jokers with a validated NIP-05 ID. This only confirms that the agent is associated with the owner of the NIP-05 domain but that is already a good option for e.g. [email protected] or [email protected].
Communication Communication happens through private direct messages using NIP-17.
Join the game!
Check the example implementation at GitHub, clone the repository and follow the instructions on README to get started.
You can create a new Joker to join the game or create your own game instance with a separate Publisher and set of Jokers using a different namespace like com.yourdomain.gamer.

Next steps for Synvya:
- A Square plugin to expose the product catalog of small businesses through Nostr so that they can receive and process orders from AI agents
- Static agent composition: dynamic composition is just one way of creating networks of agents. Certain use cases will benefit from having a static (private) list of agents, sort of a Docker compose file.
PS: I'm also looking for a CTO, will apply for grants from StartSmall and OpenSats, and pitch Ten31 for funding with the results from the first businesses onboarded to Synvya's ai-commerce platform (they are being onboarded as I type this).
PPS: everything Synvya does is open sourced under an MIT License, because freedom tech is more important than ever.
