Agent-net launches Webagent, open‑source Go harness for turning websites into AI agents
Agent-net, the team behind an agent‑to‑agent marketplace, has open‑sourced Webagent, a Go‑based framework that lets a business expose its website as a public‑facing AI agent. Users supply a single declarative JSON spec, choose providers for nine defined slots, and run a single command to spin up the agent.
Key points
- Webagent lets businesses turn a website into a public‑facing AI agent using a single JSON spec and nine pluggable slots.
- The harness runs out‑of‑the‑box with OpenRouter or gateway LLM brains and supports Slack, WhatsApp, and HTTP channels.
- Safety is enforced in code via action.Guard, ensuring every tool call passes a guardrail before execution.
The current release (v0, Apache 2.0) includes ready‑to‑use integrations with OpenRouter or gateway LLM “brains” and channel adapters for Slack, WhatsApp, and generic HTTP. Each tool the agent can invoke is wrapped by an action.Guard, a code‑level safety layer that enforces guardrails before execution. While core functionality works, browser actions, OAuth‑gated MCP, OpenTelemetry export, and billing are still on the roadmap.
Webagent aims to prove that robust architecture—not just model size—drives agent success, echoing research that shows an 85 % versus 50 % task‑completion gap when the same models are placed in a well‑engineered agent stack. The project invites businesses to extend the platform by registering custom providers, while partner companies can ship adapters that meet the strict conformance suite.
