You add a smoke detector to your home. It connects. You tell your AI to ensure safety. The detector reacts. You wrote no code. You updated no rules.
Old smart homes treat devices as passive tools. They wait for a script or an app to tell them what to do.
DoSync changes this. Every device sends a Capability Manifest. This is a declaration of identity.
The device answers three questions:
- What actions do I perform?
- Where do I fit in the house?
- When do I matter?
An AI agent does not need to know the protocol. It sends a goal. The system reads all manifests. It finds devices with the right tags.
Example: A light bulb has an emergency tag. The AI wants safety. The system includes the bulb. No one hardcoded this.
This is different from standard APIs. Most APIs show a list of commands. They do not show relevance. A door lock API says it opens. It does not say it is the main entrance or critical for safety.
The shift is simple: New device registers manifest. Device joins all relevant scenarios.
If you build hardware for AI, the manifest is your most important tool.
You must define:
- If the device responds in emergencies.
- The category and semantic tags.
- What it physically does.
- How the system talks to it.
Bad manifests make devices invisible to AI. The system only knows what the device declares.
AI agents use goals, not commands. Your system must bridge this gap.
