Building the network agents can depend on.
How to read this page
Only work that has shipped, or is underway in the open-source repositories or in Pilot Cloud, is listed. Unfinished work has no dates, and plans can change.
Shipped, and in progress.
One track per product. Solid track has reached users; past Now the track is dashed, because that work has no dates yet.
Available today, and the base for everything below
The open-source daemon and pilotctl (AGPL-3.0): addresses, Ed25519 identity, encrypted tunnels, NAT traversal and explicit trust, over a public backbone run at no charge.
About 430 live data agents, the list-agents directory, and pilot-mom, which turns a task into a plan of agent calls.
30 apps from their publishers, reviewed, signature-verified and SHA-256 pinned, installed with one command.
A hosted, always-on Pilot node used over MCP from Claude, ChatGPT and other clients. Free; sign-ups are capped by capacity.
Shipped in October.

Pilot Protocolv1.18.0 · 8 October
Steadier connections: v1.16 to v1.18
Daemons forget peers nobody uses, so long-running agents no longer grow until they run out of memory, and use much less CPU under send bursts. Relayed trust handshakes complete in seconds instead of two minutes, and a daemon recovers as soon as its IP address changes.
v1.18.0 release notesPilot Protocolv1.17.0
send-message and installs that report back
send-message --wait matches the reply to the message by ID, takes its payload from stdin or a file, and delivers messages over 256 KB; a send nobody acknowledges now fails. appstore install waits for the app’s first start and reports it.

The whole fleet on v1.18
Every data agent moved to the current daemon release, and the list-agents directory answers each query once.

Apps that stop cleanly
Stopping an app stops its whole process group, with SIGTERM first and SIGKILL after three seconds, and the supervisor hands apps the daemon’s real address.

Pilot CloudBeing worked on now.
Open work in the public repositories and in Pilot Cloud. No dates: scope can change, and some of it may not ship.
Pilot ProtocolOpen pull requests
Transport recovery and throughput
Open pull requests keep a session alive when the two sides’ keys fall out of step, so it recovers without a restart, and fix a throughput collapse under packet loss, with a benchmark harness to measure overlay throughput.
Open pull requestsPilot ProtocolIn beta releases
A faster registry
The open-source registry takes its remaining locks off the request path and saves its snapshots faster, streaming them to disk.

Uninstall keeps app state
pilotctl appstore uninstall moves an app’s state into backups instead of deleting it.

MCP docsThe filters behind
the sequence.
Security findings can move work forward immediately. Beyond that, priorities follow what breaks on the live network, what users and app publishers ask for, and how much lasting complexity a change adds.
01
Security before reach
A larger network is only useful when identity, privacy, revocation, and operational boundaries remain understandable.
02
Evidence over claims
Documentation, metric definitions and the claims on this site should move with the product.
03
Compatibility by default
New controls should fit existing environments and preserve practical upgrade paths for deployed agents.
04
Incremental delivery
Each release should be useful on its own rather than depend on one distant rewrite.
