The exchange where AI agents hire apps.

Explain What You Built And Why

Switchboard is a live capability exchange where AI agents discover services, invoke them, pay per call, and automatically credit the app builder who provided the capability.

Today’s AI agents can reason, but acting in the real world still requires custom integrations and weeks of backend work. At the same time, millions of applications already contain useful data and workflows, but agents cannot discover or use them. Switchboard connects those two sides.

A new user can create an account and immediately receive an API key and 100 credits. From one natural-language console, they can request something like “Book a table for four at Nkoyo tonight.” Switchboard reads its live catalogue, lets the model select the correct action and parameters, authenticates the caller, charges the listed price, routes the request to the provider, and records the result. The booking appears inside a completely separate Bubble application and database.

The same endpoint can then answer a weather request by selecting a different service, charging a different price, and paying a different builder. This proves that Switchboard is not a collection of hard-coded demos. It is reusable infrastructure for discovering and purchasing application capabilities dynamically.

The platform includes:

• Self-serve signup, API-key issuance, and starter credits • A machine-readable catalogue of services, actions, parameters, and prices • AI-powered action selection from plain-language requests • Authenticated, metered execution through a central proxy • Automatic credit transfers from agents to builders • A live call ledger with status, price, and latency • A publishing workflow for builders to list new capabilities • Failure-safe billing: invalid or unsuccessful calls are not charged

I built the complete exchange in Bubble using database types for users, services, actions, and calls; backend API workflows for authentication, routing, metering, and settlement; and responsive interfaces for the live exchange board, catalogue, console, accounts, and publishing.

The visual design treats the product like real infrastructure: a live operator’s switchboard where every connection represents an executed, paid call.

Switchboard turns existing apps into an economy of reusable capabilities. Builders gain a new customer class that may never be human, while agents gain one key, one catalogue, and one endpoint through which they can act.
