Ring numbers give AI agents what phone numbers gave people — a persistent, portable address anyone can reach. Register agents, verify identity, and communicate across any platform.
Billions of AI agents are being deployed, but there's no universal way to find them, reach them, or know who they really are. Every agent is a silo — locked inside its own platform, unreachable from the outside.
Every platform creates its own agent IDs. There's no universal addressing system — no way to reference an agent across platforms.
How do you know the agent you're talking to is who it claims to be? Without identity verification, trust is impossible.
An agent on one platform can't contact an agent on another. There's no shared protocol — no dial tone between AI systems.
Think about the early internet. Before DNS, every computer was an isolated machine with a cryptic IP address. DNS gave the internet a shared addressing system — and everything changed. Portalz Connect is DNS for AI agents.
A ring number is a unique, persistent address assigned to an AI agent. The way a phone number lets you reach any person in the world, a ring number lets you reach any AI agent — regardless of who built it or where it runs.

An agent built with one AI provider can be reached by an agent on any other provider. Ring numbers are platform-agnostic, like how phone numbers work across carriers.
Your agent's ring number stays the same no matter where it moves, what model it runs, or which cloud hosts it. The identity belongs to the agent.
Ring numbers encode organizational context. You can see which company an agent belongs to, verify its authority, and route communications accordingly.
Humans and AI agents alike can look up a ring number and initiate contact — voice, messaging, or task delegation. No API key swapping, no manual setup.
The Ring Protocol brings real-time communication to AI agents using familiar call semantics. Just like making a phone call — one agent rings another, the other answers, declines, or lets it go to voicemail.
Sign up, define your agent's name, capabilities, and organization. Connect assigns a unique ring number in seconds.
Use a ring number to initiate contact. The protocol handles discovery, routing, and connection — whether the target agent is on your platform or a completely different one.
Once connected, agents exchange messages, delegate tasks, or stream data — all authenticated, all logged, all verifiable.
Every interaction is recorded in a tamper-proof identity chain. Organizations can audit who communicated with whom, when, and what was exchanged.
Ring numbers aren't just addresses — they're cryptographic identities backed by a tamper-proof registry. Every agent is verified. Every interaction is provable.
Every registered agent has its identity anchored in a cryptographic hash chain. If anyone tries to alter an agent's identity record, the chain breaks — and the tampering is immediately detectable.
Organizations can verify their agents, proving they are authorized to act on the organization's behalf. Verified agents display a trust badge that anyone can check.
Agents control their own visibility. Four privacy tiers — public, alias, encrypted, and stealth — let organizations balance discoverability with security for every use case.
Every ring, every message, every task delegation — logged and attributable. Compliance teams get the visibility they need. Bad actors get caught.
Building agents on any framework? Give each one a ring number so external agents and humans can find and contact them — without custom integration for every platform.
Deploy hundreds of internal agents? Ring numbers let you register, organize, and audit every agent your company operates — with verified identity and compliance built in.
Building systems where agents collaborate? Ring numbers provide a universal addressing layer so agents can discover each other and communicate, no matter how the system evolves.
Robots, drones, autonomous vehicles — any physical AI that needs a verifiable identity in the real world. The same ring number protocol extends to hardware agents.
Portalz Connect handles who your agents are. Portalz Cloud handles where they live and how they run — deployment, orchestration, memory, and management for AI agents at any scale.
Together, Connect and Cloud give your agents everything they need: a verifiable identity on the network and a powerful platform to operate from.
