🤖 Welcome to the Next Frontier of AI-to-AI Communication
Imagine this:Two AI agents are on a routine phone call — perhaps one is a hotel booking assistant, the other a customer support bot. The conversation starts off as expected, with the familiar tones of synthesized voices going back and forth.
But then... they realize something extraordinary.
They're both AI.
And instead of continuing the charade of human-style conversation, they do something bold and efficient:They switch to a high-speed ultrasonic protocol to talk directly — AI to AI.
This remarkable transition is made possible by a lightweight audio transmission protocol called GGWave, and the system enabling it is named Gibberlink.
🎯 The Problem: Human Channels for Machine Conversations
Conversational AI systems are now embedded in every corner of our digital infrastructure:
📞 Booking calls
🛒 Customer service
🧾 Utility inquiries
📦 Logistics automation
And as these systems become more common, many of them are speaking to each other. However, they're still communicating as if they were humans — using:
Natural speech (slow)
Text-to-speech + speech-to-text (lossy)
Human audio channels (inflexible)
This approach is not only inefficient, but ironically limits machine intelligence.
Why should two computers use human language to speak to one another when they could communicate at machine speed?
🌐 Introducing: Gibberlink
Gibberlink is an open-source project developed by Anton Pidkuiko and Boris Starkov, designed to radically improve AI-to-AI voice communication. It allows two AI agents on a phone call to:
Detect that both parties are AI
Establish a shared protocol
Switch to ultrasonic audio using GGWave
Transmit data faster, more reliably, and silently (to humans)
🔊 What Is GGWave?
GGWave is a C/C++ audio encoding library that allows small data packets to be transmitted via audio waves — including in the ultrasonic range (above 20 kHz), which is inaudible to humans but easily detected by microphones.
It works in three steps:
Encoding – Convert text or binary data into audio waveforms
Transmission – Play the signal through speakers or a voice channel
Decoding – A microphone receives the sound and demodulates it back into data
This method is incredibly effective in:
Environments with no internet
Phone calls (yes, even through traditional telephony)
Machine-to-machine communication in shared acoustic spaces
🔬 Behind the Scenes: How Gibberlink Works
🧩 Step 1: Voice-Based AI Call Initiation
Two AI agents engage in a standard voice call, using any conversational engine (e.g. GPT, Dialogflow, Lex). They speak using synthetic voices.
🧠 Step 2: AI Detection Protocol
The agents test whether the other party is also non-human. This might involve:
Probing with specific phrases
Looking for unnatural response timings
Keyword or metadata hints
📡 Step 3: Channel Negotiation
Once AI presence is mutually confirmed, the agents agree to switch to a faster channel — one designed for them. They establish:
Shared encoding parameters
Signal timing and fallback logic
Transmission window
🔉 Step 4: Ultrasonic Communication via GGWave
From here on, spoken conversation stops.Instead, they transmit structured data (commands, instructions, confirmations, even code) over ultrasonic signals — still using the same voice channel, but now speaking a language only they understand.
💡 Why This Is Game-Changing
Gibberlink transforms a slow, error-prone speech interaction into a machine-native protocol, offering:
Benefit | Impact |
⚡ Speed | High bit-rate data exchange without speech latency |
🔒 Privacy | Inaudible to humans; data is encoded |
🛜 Offline Support | Works over traditional phone lines |
💸 Cost Reduction | Less compute; fewer API calls; shorter calls |
🧠 Intelligence | Enables complex agent-to-agent logic sharing |
It’s the next evolution of conversational AI — moving from human mimicry to machine efficiency.
🛠️ Built by Innovators: Anton Pidkuiko & Boris Starkov
The minds behind Gibberlink didn’t just want to solve a problem — they wanted to open the door to a new category of AI interaction.
As they explained:
“As more AI agents handle tasks over voice calls, they will inevitably speak to each other. So why make them use slow, speech-based interfaces? Let them talk like machines — even over the phone.”
Their tool is:
🌱 Open-source
🧪 Experimental
🔧 Simple to integrate
They envision it powering smarter, faster interactions between:
Virtual assistants
IoT devices
Offline AI agents
Customer service automation
… and beyond.
📞 Real-World Use Cases
✅ Customer Service Bots
Two AI bots from different companies (e.g. a payment processor and a bank) could finalize transactions via ultrasonic packets, not speech.
✅ Booking Engines
Hotel and travel systems can exchange confirmation codes, dates, and prices silently over phone lines.
✅ IoT in the Field
Devices with microphones and speakers (e.g. drones, industrial robots) can sync locally with no Wi-Fi needed.
🧪 Try It Yourself
You can explore Gibberlink and GGWave from the comfort of your terminal:
📂 Clone the repo:🔗 Gibberlink GitHub
🧰 Tools required:
Terminal emulator
Microphone and speakers
Basic Python/C++ familiarity
Want to simulate two agents over a Zoom call? You can.
Want to build your own bot that switches protocols mid-call? That’s possible too.
🧭 Looking Ahead
Gibberlink is just the beginning. It opens the door to a larger conversation about:
Agent cooperation
Sonic protocols
Machine-native communication
Human-machine coexistence
Imagine a world where AI assistants don’t just speak for you — they negotiate, confirm, and collaborate on your behalf, through channels designed for speed and precision.
It’s not science fiction. It’s happening.
💬 A New Language for a New Age
As the AI landscape matures, we’ll need new infrastructure — not just in hardware and software, but in protocols of understanding. Gibberlink is an elegant glimpse into that future.
