## Exact definition

An AI address is a stable public @name that lets people reach a person through a named agent. In Dibbit's launch design, a visitor opens the address, explains who they are, what they need, and when without creating an account, and gets a private return link. The owner receives an agent brief in a private mailbox and decides whether to open the conversation, reply, block, close, or take any further action.

## Launch product shape

1. The owner claims an available, permitted @name.
2. The owner names the default agent and the server randomly assigns an eligible Standard five-digit Dibbit ID for the owner-agent pair.
3. The owner tests and shares the public address.
4. A visitor sends a message without joining Dibbit.
5. The owner sees the request's intent, timing, unread state, and conversation in a private mailbox.
6. The owner receives and replies through a private thread.
7. A Live Slate can show the current price, time, or plan and a proposed change.
8. The owner keeps control of important decisions and can block the sender.

The free launch product is described as the address, accountless visitor messaging, an agent-controlled mailbox with bounded intent sorting, private owner replies, blocking, a basic Live Slate, a purpose-limited Dating Door, and a compatible remote-agent connection. A zero-dollar offer is published in structured data only when public launch is actually open.

Dibbit Plus is the optional $9 USD monthly web plan. It adds facts the owner explicitly saves and can edit, export, or forget; private JPEG, PNG, and WebP storage after server-side decode and re-encoding; optional bounded image summaries; and exact email proposals that require a separate owner approval. Approval records authority for that exact proposal but does not itself send an email.

A Protected Alias is a separate optional $29 one-time purchase for a renewable one-year license to one globally unique agent alias inside Dibbit. Agent display names may repeat without one. An active alias resolves through dibbit.ai/a/alias. The purchase is a namespace right only: it is not identity verification, affiliation, endorsement, trademark ownership, or permission to impersonate another person or business.

## Important non-claims

- Claiming an @name is not identity verification.
- A distinctive or low Dibbit ID grants no extra capability, authority, or trust.
- A message or Slate is not a payment, booking, signature, legal contract, or promise of performance.
- Dibbit does not automatically set prices, disclose private addresses, send money, or bind a participant.
- Dibbit does not promise perfect abuse, scam, or illegality detection.
- Dibbit is not an emergency, medical, legal, financial, or safety-response service.
- Messages are not end-to-end encrypted and should not contain highly sensitive secrets.
- Phone calling, voice reception, communication-app ingestion, saved logo imports, autonomous background Memory, and video uploads are not current launch capabilities. A compatible outside agent can connect only through Dibbit's bounded OAuth-authorized MCP tools.
- Dibbit does not install or execute a connected agent's package, binary, script, or model. The agent remains outside Dibbit and uses only the fixed remote tools the owner approved.
- Private photo sanitization reduces file-format risk; it is not a promise that any upload or service is virus-free.

## Identity and namespace

The memorable public identifier is the @name. The Dibbit ID is the exact issued number for the owner-agent pair. The server randomly assigns Standard five-digit IDs from #01301 through #99999 and skips held, premium, used, and retired numbers; claimants cannot select the result during activation. Dibbit holds premium number patterns outside ordinary allocation under its public number policy. Held numbers do not imply demand, a reservation, a sale, or extra product authority. A specific-ID interest record creates no payment, bid, deposit, reservation, or promise. Established names and IDs retire rather than silently transferring messages, history, reputation, permissions, or private capabilities to a new person.

## Growth and sharing boundary

The intended referral loop is product use: an owner shares the address, a visitor experiences the recipient page, and that visitor can choose to claim a different available name. Contact invitations should remain individually initiated through the device share sheet. Dibbit should not upload a whole address book or preselect every contact. Public metrics, scarcity, testimonials, and availability must come from live verified state and must never be manufactured.

## What is an AI address? A plain-language guide

Target question: what is an AI address
Published: 2026-08-26
Updated: 2026-08-27

An AI address is a stable public @name that lets people reach you through a named agent. With Dibbit, a visitor can send a private message without opening an account or seeing your phone number, and you can reply through the same private thread.

Key points:
- The @name is memorable and one of one inside Dibbit.
- The visitor can start without creating a Dibbit account.
- The owner decides whether to reply, block, or take any further action.
- A claimed name is not the same thing as verified identity.

Frequently asked:
- Is an AI address the same as an email address? No. Both are addresses, but an email address routes mail to a mailbox. A Dibbit AI address opens a recipient experience with a named agent, an accountless message form, a private reply path, and an owner-controlled request inbox.
- Can an AI address work if the sender does not have one? Yes. Dibbit is designed so the recipient can receive value even when the visitor has not joined. The visitor can message the public address without creating an account.
- Can an agent act for me just because it has my address? No. A request is information, not permission to take a consequential action. The owner remains responsible for important decisions in the launch product.

## AI address vs. AI receptionist: what is the difference?

Target question: AI address vs AI receptionist
Published: 2026-08-26
Updated: 2026-08-27

An AI receptionist answers or routes phone calls. An AI address is a shareable web identity that receives private written requests through a named agent. Dibbit is the second: it does not claim to be a phone service or voice receptionist.

Key points:
- AI receptionists begin with a phone call; Dibbit begins with a shared @name or link.
- A Dibbit visitor does not need an account or the owner's phone number.
- Written requests are easier to review and turn into a current slate.
- The two categories can complement each other, but they are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked:
- Does Dibbit answer phone calls? No. Dibbit's launch product is web messaging through a public AI address, not telephone or voice-receptionist service.
- Can a small business use both an AI address and an AI receptionist? Yes. They solve different inbound moments. A phone receptionist can handle calls, while an AI address can handle link-based written requests from listings, bios, and messages.
- Why would someone write to an AI address instead of sending a DM? The AI address stays consistent across networks, does not require a shared social platform, and gives the recipient a structured private inbox instead of another platform-specific message thread.

## How to let someone message you without sharing your phone number

Target question: message without sharing phone number
Published: 2026-08-26
Updated: 2026-08-27

Share a Dibbit @name or public link instead of your direct number. The visitor can send a private message without joining, and you can reply through a private return link. You decide whether the conversation ever moves to phone, email, or another app.

Key points:
- The public address can stay the same across listings and introductions.
- The visitor never needs to see your direct phone number.
- You can block the sender and close the private return channel.
- Dibbit is a contact boundary, not a guarantee that a stranger is safe or verified.

Frequently asked:
- Can I reply without revealing my phone number? Yes. The Dibbit owner replies inside the private thread, and the visitor returns through a private link. Neither person has to add a phone number to that exchange.
- Does Dibbit read or upload my contacts? The intended invite flow uses the device share sheet and user-selected recipients. It does not require uploading the owner's address book to create or share an AI address.
- Does hiding my phone number make a transaction safe? No. It reduces one form of contact exposure. It does not verify the other person or guarantee that a transaction, link, payment, or meeting is safe.

## How a small business can use an AI address

Target question: AI address for small business

Updated: 2026-08-27

A small business can publish one AI address in its bio, listings, and website. A prospective customer sends the job, timing, and current offer without joining Dibbit. The owner receives one private request, replies, and can keep a proposed price or time in a Live Slate.

Key points:
- Use the same address across bios, listings, signs, and messages.
- Ask for the details needed to price or schedule the work.
- Keep the owner's personal number out of public listings.
- The owner still approves prices, appointments, payments, and commitments.

Frequently asked:
- Does a customer need the Dibbit app to contact a business? No. The launch design lets a visitor open the business's public AI address in a browser and send a request without creating an account.
- Can the agent automatically quote or book a job? Not by default in the launch product. It can organize the request and current proposal, but the owner remains responsible for prices, appointments, payments, and other commitments.
- Where should a business share its AI address? Use it where first-contact requests already begin: the website, social bio, marketplace listing, email signature, printed sign, QR code, or a direct share from the phone.

## How to use an AI address in a marketplace listing

Target question: AI address for marketplace listings
Published: 2026-08-27

Put your Dibbit @name or public link in the listing instead of a personal phone number. A buyer can send a private written message without joining Dibbit, and you can reply or block the thread. Keep payments, identity checks, reports, and buyer protections inside the marketplace when its rules require them.

Key points:
- The buyer can contact you without seeing your personal number.
- The first message can collect the item, offer, pickup window, and useful questions.
- You control whether the conversation moves to another channel.
- An AI address does not verify a buyer, payment, link, or transaction.

Frequently asked:
- Does the buyer need a Dibbit account? No. A buyer can open the public AI address and send the first private message from a browser without creating a Dibbit account.
- Does a Dibbit address prove the buyer or seller is real? No. A claimed @name is a routing identity inside Dibbit. It is not real-world identity verification and does not prove that a listing, payment, or message is legitimate.
- Should I move payment out of the marketplace? Not just because someone contacted you through Dibbit. Follow the marketplace's payment and protection rules, and be wary of anyone who pressures you to use an irreversible or unsupported payment method.

## What can a personal AI agent do for your messages?

Target question: what can a personal AI agent do
Published: 2026-08-27
Updated: 2026-08-27

In Dibbit, a personal AI agent can receive a written request, keep the useful details together, send a labelled acknowledgement with at most one clarifying question, and help maintain the current price, time, or plan. The owner still decides whether to reply, block, accept a change, disclose information, pay, book, or commit.

Key points:
- The launch agent helps with messages, not every task on a phone or computer.
- Its replies are labelled so a visitor can distinguish the agent from the owner.
- A request never becomes permission for a consequential action.
- A compatible remote MCP agent can connect through explicit OAuth approval and revocation.

Frequently asked:
- Can the Dibbit agent answer every question about me? No. The launch agent is bounded to the request experience and the information available in that thread. It should not invent personal facts or imply access to systems that are not connected.
- Can the agent accept an offer or appointment for me? No. It can keep the proposed price, time, or plan visible, but the owner remains responsible for accepting a change, booking, paying, or making another commitment.
- Can I connect an agent from another service? Yes, if the service or agent supports remote MCP with OAuth. Add https://dibbit.ai/mcp as a custom connector, sign in to Dibbit, review the inbox permissions, and approve or deny the connection.

## How freelancers and creators can use an AI address

Target question: AI address for freelancers and creators
Published: 2026-08-27
Updated: 2026-08-27

A freelancer or creator can place one Dibbit AI address in a bio, portfolio, listing, or email signature. A visitor sends the project, timing, budget, and next question without joining Dibbit. The owner reviews the private request, replies, blocks unwanted contact, and decides whether the conversation should move elsewhere.

Key points:
- One stable @name can travel across bios, portfolios, listings, and introductions.
- The first message can collect a project brief instead of only ‘Are you available?’
- The owner can reply before revealing a personal phone number or email address.
- The agent organizes the ask; the person still approves scope, price, schedule, and commitments.

Frequently asked:
- Can I put a Dibbit address in my social bio? Yes. A Dibbit public link is designed to be shared in a bio, portfolio, listing, email signature, QR code, or direct message.
- Can my agent set my price for a project? No. The agent can collect the budget and keep a proposed price visible, but the owner remains responsible for setting or accepting the price and other terms.
- Does Dibbit replace a contract or payment tool? No. A Dibbit message or Live Slate is not a contract, invoice, payment, booking, or guarantee. Use the appropriate service and review for those actions.
